2.2 RECEIVING AND UNPACKING SMARTPLATE
Each SmartPlate Water Heater is shipped as a single crated unit. The packaged shipping
weight will vary from 380 to approximately 1100 pounds depending on the model ordered. The
unit must be moved with the proper equipment (forklift, pallet jack, etc.) to avoid possible injury
to personnel or damage to the shipping container or unit. The shipping carton should be
inspected for damage incurred during transit prior to signing the bill of lading.
NOTE:
AERCO is not responsible for lost or damaged freight. The freight carrier must be notified
immediately of any damage detected.
Unpack the SmartPlate Water Heater from its shipping container taking care not to damage the
unit when cutting away the packaging material.
Remove the package containing the Relief Valve and Air Vent Valves. This package may also
contain an additional Relief Valve. See section 2.6 for a complete list of parts and installation
instructions.
Remove the bolts securing the unit to its shipping skid. Perform a complete visual inspection of
the unit to ensure there is no evidence of damage.
