MAINTENANCE & OPERATION (continued)
Winterizing Procedure:
1.Disconnect all electrical power to the heater; turn OFF circulating pump.
2.At the two (2) connection unions, disconnect the plumbing to the heater (removal is counter- clockwise).
3.Locate the hand drain plug at lower, front corner of heater. See
4.Permit all of the water to drain out of the condenser and then replace the plug; thread the plug in clockwise until just snug, then apply an additional 1/8 turn.
5.To prevent insects and vermin from entering the plumbing during the winterized period, partially reconnect the two (2) plumbing connection unions: couple each union one or two threads; this will permit condensation to drain, but will prevent most insects and animals from entering the plumbing circuit.
6.Next Season: To ready the heat pump for use, simply retighten plumbing connection unions.
