G. Cleanup and joint movement

Remove all excess cement from around the pipe and fitting with a dry cotton rag. This must be done while the cement is still soft.

The joint should not be disturbed immediately after the cementing procedure, and sufficient time should be allowed for proper curing of the joint. Exact drying time is difficult to predict because it depends on variables such as temperature, humidity and cement integrity. For more specific information, you should contact your solvent cement manufacturer.

OPERATION

WARNING

NEVER OPERATE THE HEATER WITHOUT FIRST BEING

CERTAIN IT IS FILLED WITH WATER AND A TEMPERATURE

AND PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE IS INSTALLED IN THE RELIEF

STEP GVALVE OPENING OF THE HEATER. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPERATE HEATER WITH COLD WATER INLET VALVE CLOSED.
