Storage and handling
Please take care when handling a packaged Andrews water heater. The unit is heavy and must only be moved manually
within safe working practices. If you are craning the cylinder into position please see fig 1 below for guidance on
accessing the lifting points. If the unit is to be stored before installation, it must be placed on a secure, level surface
and in a dry, frost free environment.
Precautions to be carried out prior to commencement of work:
`
Tidy area ensuring there is safe access and egress to installation place, free from trip hazards.
`
Be aware of other people who may be in the area
`
Operate any machinery in accordance with training and operating instructions
`
Visually inspect the equipment prior to use, do not use damaged equipment.
`
Safe working practices are adopted for manual handling of appliances/parts
`
Correct PPE to be worn.
The Andrews water heater must be vertically floor mounted. It can be placed anywhere convenient provided the
discharge pipe(s) from its safety valves can be correctly installed. Areas that are subject to freezing must be avoided.
Ensure that the floor is level and of sufficient strength to support the "full" weight of the unit when filled with water. The
weights of the units are on page 8 table 4. Pipe runs should be kept as short as possible for maximum economy. Access
to associated controls, immersion heaters and indirect controls should be possible for servicing and maintenance of
the system.
To aid installation, the Andrews water heater is provided with lifting points located at the top of the unit. To access the
lifting eyes please remove the top cover. The weights of the units are on page 8 table 4.
