8.3 UNPACKING AND LEVELLING THE WATER HEATER
The water heater is mounted on a pallet with a wooden support frame around it. The water heater is wrapped in
shrink wrap before the wooden support frame is mounted. After the frame is placed the whole pallet, water heater
and frame package is shrink wrapped again. Only remove the outer packaging once the water heater has been
positioned as close as possible to the place where it will be installed. After removing the wrapping and frame the
water heater can be taken off the pallet using a fork-lift truck or suitable lifting device. The water heater is fixed to
the pallet with screws; make sure these are removed before attempting to lift the water heater from the pallet.
Once the water heater is in its final position, the inner packaging can be removed.
The water heater will now be stood on 4 adjustment bolts; ensure the water heater is level in both directions by
using these 4 bolts. There are also four legs under the appliance that can be turned outward if a positive fixing to
the floor structure is required.
8.4 CLEARANCES
The location chosen for the equipment must permit the provision for a satisfactory flue system and, where
necessary, an adequate air supply. The location must also provide adequate space for servicing and air circulation
around each unit. This includes any electrical trunking laid across the floor and to the appliance.
See 5.1.3 for dimensions/clearances. Further details regarding locations are given in BS6644.
