Mounting Instructions
Congratulations on your choice of a new QL
Water Heater. A choice that will help you bring
out the best in boating pleasure. To give you
the best benefit of the product and to facilitate
your installation, we kindly ask you to follow
the recommendations and instructions below.
The QL Water Heaters are built with materials that
withstand the rigors of the marine environment.
Being an electrical appliance, the Water Heater
should be installed in a ventilated location where it
will not be subjected to humidity and external
water spray. All QL Water Heaters are insulated
with high efficiency, auto extinguishable cellular
polyurethane.
The distance between the engine and the Water
Heater should be as short as possible. Locate the
Water Heater in an accessible position so that the
water connections, pressure relief/non return
valve and electrical heating element (30 cm long)
remain accessible. Install the Water Heater in a
ventilated location in order to prevent sweating
which might be mistaken for water loss.
The Water Heater should be firmly secured with
mounting brackets to a solid structure using bolts,
nuts and lock washers. Bear in mind that the total
weight of the Water Heater is its weight plus all
the water it contains.
The Water Heater can be mounted either horizon-
tally or vertically to bulkhead, deckhead or floor.
The hot water outlet is placed in the far, top end of
the bowl to ensure that the warmest possible water
is used at ever y time even when vertically mount-
ed.
Before mounting check the information on the
sticker inside the plastic cap. This information is
essential for the correct installation and mainte-
nance of the Water Heater.
