WARNING / CAUTION 
 
1.  Tank is to be completely filled with water and all air is to be vented before energizing. 
2.  Due to the rigors of transportation, all connections should be checked for tightness before heater 
is placed in operation. 
 
3.  Safety relief valve must be installed in tapping provided. 
 
4.  The refractory material used in heating elements may absorb some moisture during transit, 
periods of storage, or when subjected to a humid environment. This moisture absorption results 
in a cold insulation resistance of less than twenty (20) megohms. If this heater has been 
subjected to the above condition, each heating element must be checked for insulation 
resistance before energizing. A low megohm condition can be corrected by removing the 
terminal hardware and baking the element in an oven at 350°F -700°F for several hours or until 
the proper megohm reading is obtained. 
 
5.  KEEP AWAY FROM LIVE ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS. 
Do not perform any maintenance, make any adjustments, or replace any components inside the 
control panel with the high voltage power supply turned on. Under certain circumstances, 
dangerous potentials may exist even when the power supply is off. To avoid casualties, always 
turn the power supply safety switch to off, turn the charge or ground the circuit before 
performing any maintenance or adjustment procedure. 
 
6.  The unit is designed to operate at pressure not more than 150 psi. 
 
7.  Generalized instructions and procedures cannot anticipate all situations. For this reason, only 
qualified installers should perform the installations. A qualified installer is a person who has 
licensed training and a working knowledge of the applicable codes regulation, tools, equipment, 
and methods necessary for safe installation of an electric resistance water heater. If questions 
regarding installation arise, check your local plumbing and electrical inspectors for proper 
procedures and codes. If you cannot obtain the required information, contact the company.
