from the main unit and must be assembled after main unit installation. The buffer tank should
only be assembled to the unit after the water heater has been transported, located, positioned
and installed in its final operating position. Transport the main unit (without buffer tank
installed) as described below:

assembly skid to the pallet (Figure 3-8).
