INSTALLATION & OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS IN THE
MANUAL MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURY AND/OR
PROPERTY DAMAGE, AND WILL VOID THE PRODUCT WARRANTY.
THIS PRODUCT MUST BE INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED
PROFESSIONAL. FOLLOW ALL APPLICABLE LOCAL AND STATE
CODES AND REGULATIONS, IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH CODES,
FOLLOW THE CURRENT EDITIONS OF THE NATIONAL PLUMBING
CODE AND NATIONAL ELECTRIC CODE, AS APPLICABLE.
This Product, like most Products under pressure,
may over time corrode, weaken and burst or
explode, causing serious or fatal injury, leaking or flooding and/or
property damage. To minimize risk, a licensed professional must install
and periodically inspect and service the Product. A drip pan connected
to an adequate drain must be installed if leaking or flooding could cause
property damage. Do not locate in an area where leakage of the tank or
connections could cause property damage to the area adjacent to the
appliance or to lower floors of the structure.
Use only with potable water. Do not operate in a
setting with freezing temperatures or where the
temperature can exceed 120°F and do not exceed the maximum working
pressure specified for this Product in the Manual. Install vertically only.
Failure to properly size the Product or follow these
instruction may result in excessive strain on the
system and may lead to Product failure, serious or fatal personal injury,
leakage, and/or property damage.
EXPLOSION OR RUPTURE HAZARD A relief
valve must be installed to prevent pressure in
excess of local code requirement or maximum working pressure
designated in the Product Manual, whichever is less. At least once every
3 years or if discharge is present, a licensed contractor should inspect
the pressure relief valve and replace if corrosion is evident or the valve
does not function. FAILURE TO INSPECT THIS VALVE AS DIRECTED
COULD RESULT IN UNSAFE PRESSURE BUILD-UP WHICH CAN
RESULT IN PRODUCT FAILURE, SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH AND/
OR SEVERE PROPERTY DAMAGE AND VOID THE PRODUCT WARRANTY.
