4.2 UNPACKING AND UNLOADING INSTRUCTIONS
Note: Extreme care should be taken when moving the unit during unloading, installation and
maintenance. Ensure the water heater always remains in the upright position as any deviation
may cause damage to the components within the frame. SEE section 2 above for delivery weights
The frame has been designed to be split into two sections to make the Blades framed units easier to
handle and allow the frame to be installed with plant spaces with limited access.
The Blades water heaters are delivered in two basic configurations:
The WHP050 and WHP070 PREMIUM PLUS are delivered with the two sections assembled and
secured to the transport pallet in the normal way and ready for installation.
If it is necessary to split this unit then it will have to be disconnected and re-assembled when it is in the
desired location.
The WHP090 and WHP115 PREMIUM PLUS are delivered in two separate sections each secured to
the transport pallets and will need to be assembled when in the desired location.
The unit is delivered on a pallet base and is secured using 4 x shipping brackets. To unload the unit:
1. Ensure the pallet is located on a secure, level surface as close as possible to the installation
site. Once unloaded, the Blade unit can be manoeuvred easily on most flat, level surfaces. Do
not attempt to move the unit over uneven or rough surfaces using the built-in wheel units.
2. Remove any shipping packaging or polythene wrapping from the unit.
3. Ensure all threaded stabilising feet on the Blade unit are fully raised. The stabilising feet are
located on each wheel mount and can be raised using a suitable flat headed spanner from
below.
4. Unbolt and remove all shipping brackets. WARNING –once the shipping brackets have been
removed and the stabilising feet raised, the unit will become mobile from this point until it is
immobilised again. The Blade unit should be physically restrained at all times. Do not discard
the shipping brackets.
5. Carefully manoeuvre the Blade unit down to the floor surface. Note: This is a 2 to 3 person
task, and extreme careshould betaken toensure that the Blade unit does notbecome unstable
during unloading.
6. Manoeuvre the Blade unit into the desired installation location. Ensure that suitable access is
available to the rear of the unit to enable connection to the site services.
7. When the unit is located correctly, lower all four stabilising feet until the unit is fully immobilised.
The stabilising feet are located on each wheel mount and can be lowered using a suitable flat
headed spanner from below the wheel mount.
8. With the unit immobilised in the correct position, the Blade should be fully secured. The four
shipping brackets can be used for this purpose. If used ensure the brackets are located firmly
against the lower edge of the Blade frame, and secured using appropriate fixings for the floor
surface. It is important that the Blade is fully secured and immobilised before proceeding with
the connection of the site services.
