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 figure below. (position may vary between models). Remove plug.

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. Hand-tight is generally sufficient.
