Before Installation; Receiving Equipment; Rating And Certifications; Elevation - Rheem Raypak 207A Installation And Operation Manual

NOTE: High chemical concentrates from feeders and
chlorinators that are out of adjustment will cause rapid
corrosion to the heat exchanger. Such damage is not
covered under the warranty.

3. BEFORE INSTALLATION

Receiving equipment

The manufacturer recommends that this manual be
reviewed thoroughly before installing the pool/spa heater. If
there are any questions that this manual does not answer,
please contact the factory or your local representative.
On receipt of your equipment it is suggested that you
visually check for external damage to the carton. If the
carton is damaged, a note should be made on the Bill
of Lading when signing for the equipment. Remove the
heater from the carton. If it is damaged, report the damage
to the carrier immediately. Save the carton.
These items are shipped inside a box in the carton with
the heater:

Be sure that you receive the number of packages indicated
on the Bill of Lading.

Rating and certifications

These heaters are design-certified and tested under the
latest requirements of the ANSI Z21.56 / CSA 4.7 Standard
for Gas-Fired Pool Heaters. All heaters can be used either
indoor or outdoors when appropriate venting is installed.
The appropriate top designated for each type of use is
required. If necessary, the top can be changed at a later
date to change from outdoor to indoor or vice versa.

Elevation

Rated inputs are suitable for up to 5,000 feet (1524 m)

4. INSTALLATION

A WARNING: This unit contains refractory ceramic
fiber (RCF) insulation in the combustion chamber. RCF,
as manufactured, does not contain respirable crystalline
silica. However, following sustained exposure to very
high temperatures (>2192°F), the RCF can transform
into crystalline silica (cristabolite). The International
Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified
the inhalation of crystalline silica (cristabolite) as
carcinogenic to humans.
When removing the burners or heat exchangers, take
precautions to avoid creating airborne dust and avoid
inhaling airborne fibers. When cleaning spills, use wet
sweeping or High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA)
filtered vacuum to minimize airborne dust. Use feasible
engineering controls such as local exhaust ventilation
or dust collecting systems to minimize airborne dust.
Wear appropriate personal
including gloves, safety glasses with side shields, and
appropriate NIOSH-certified
to avoid inhalation of airborne dust and airborne fiber
particles.
A WARNING: Improper
alteration, service or maintenance may damage the
equipment, creating a hazard resulting in asphyxiation,
explosion or fire. Such damage is not covered under
warranty.
