Enerco ERXL-80S, ERXL-175L Introduction, Checking Shipment, Installer Responsibility, Planning

SECTION 1

Introduction

Ener-Radiant ERXL models are low-cost, field assembled infrared heaters that are easy to install and require only minimal maintenance. They are designed to provide years of economical operation and trouble-free service.

Checking Shipment

Check the shipment against the Bill of Lading for shortages. Also, check for external damage to cartons. Note any shortages, and/ or external damage to cartons on the Bill of Lading in the presence of the delivery trucker. The delivery trucker should acknowledge any shortages or damage by initializing this “noted” Bill of Lading. Immediately report any claims for damaged material, or shortages that were not evident at the time of shipment, to the carrier and your ENERCO Factory Representative.

Installer Responsibility

All heaters and associated gas piping should be installed in accordance with applicable specifications and this installation made only by firms (or individuals) well qualified in this type of work. Consult local building inspectors, Fire Marshals or your local ENERCO Factory Representative for guidance.

Ener-Radiant ERXL heaters are installed on the basis of information given in a layout drawing, which together with the cited codes and regulations, comprise the basic information needed to complete the installation. The installer must furnish all needed material that is not furnished as standard equipment, and it is his responsibility to see that such materials, as well as the installation methods he uses result in a job that is workmanlike and in compliance with all applicable codes.

ENERCO Factory Representatives have had training and experience in the application of this equipment and can be called on for suggestions about installation which can save material and money.
