TRANSPORT AND STORAGE OF APPLIANCE
IMPORTANT
IMPORTANT
DO NOT
TILT
MORE THAN 45
FROM VERTICAL°
45°
The Rinnai Electric Heat Pump must be transported at an angle no greater that 45º from vertical. Should the heat
pump be tilted at a greater angle than 45º from vertical, the lubrication oil within the compressor can run down into
the accumulator. This will leave the compressor motor without sufficient lubrication and lead to premature failure
of the compressor unit.
As a general good practice it is better to keep the compressor upright as much as possible to avoid any risks.
Returning the Rinnai Electric Heat Pump to a vertical position will not allow the oil to properly flow back into the
compressor motor.
Tilting Rinnai Electric Hot Water beyond 45º from vertical will also place undue strain on compressor motor mounts
and associated piping.
