3. PRECAUTIONS

3.1 GAS SAFETY (Installation and Use)
(Amendment) REGULATIONS 1990
The law requires all gas appliances to be
installed by competent persons in accordance
with the above regulations. Failure to install
appliances correctly may lead to persecution.
It is in your own interests and that of safety to
ensure compliance with the law.

3.2 RELATED DOCUMENTS

Air heater(s) must be installed in accordance with
the requirements and recommendations of British
Standard BS 6230 1991 "Installation of Gas Fired
Forced Convection Air Heaters for Commercial
and Industrial Space Heating".
The installation must also be in accordance with
the relevant requirements of "The Gas Safety
(Installation and Use regulation) and (Amendment
Regulations 1990)" and the "Building" and "IEE
Regulations". The requirements of the "Local
Building Standards Office", the premises
"Insurance" company and the "Fire Office" must
also be observed.

3.3 TRANSPORT AND HANDLING

The MEC air heaters are supplied with cardboard
packing and internal protective pieces in pre-
formed cardboard, while the MEC C series models
are also supplied with wooden pallets, attached to
the base of the appliance with 4 screws (M8). Cap
cardboard packing is attached with plastic straps.
The air heater can be handled with a fork-lift
truck or transpallet, making sure to balance
its weight on the supports. For safety reasons,
considering the relatively heavy weight, do
not try to lift the appliance by hand. Do not
hang with slings or ropes, since there are no
specific anchor points. Always observe the
instructions reported on the box indicated by
the special graphic symbols.
When delivered, check that no visible damage on
the packing and/or on the device has occurred
during transport. If damage is noted, immediately
submit a claim to the shipping agent.

3.4 DATA CHECK

Check that the air heater and its technical
characteristics match what is indicated by the
design or other documents.
The type of gas for which the air heater has
been designed and the relative supply
pressure are found on the exterior of the
packing and on a special label located on the
inside of the appliance service door.
WARNING! If the type gas for which the
appliance has been designed is different
from the one being used, the adaptation
operation must be carried out by skilled
technical personnel, during the first start-up
operation and relative tests.

3.5 USING THE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING! When installing or working on the
appliance, comply with all the instructions
reported in this manual. Changes to any type
of connection and non-compliance with these
instructions will immediately invalidate the
warranty and release the manufacturer from
all responsibilities.

4. INSTALLATION

4.1 LOCATION

The installation of a warm air heating system
must be in strict accordance with any fire
regulations or insurance company's
requirements pertaining to the area in which
the system is installed, particularly where
special risks are involved, such as areas
where petrol vehicles are housed, where
cellulose is sprayed, in wood-working
departments, etc.
In addition, where a warm air heating system
is installed in a shop or department store or
an office
recommendations of CP3:Ch-IV pertaining
to such buildings, with respect to the
installation and maintenance of any fire
escape routes, must be complied with.
As already described, the possible air heater
installations can be summarised into two different
