2.1 Wall Tag

A laminated wall tag is available for the heater as

a permanent reminder of the safety instructions and the importance of the required clearances to combustibles. Please contact Roberts-Gordon or your ROBERTS GORDON® independent distributor to obtain the wall tag. Affix the tag by peeling

off the backing of the adhesive strips on the rear surface and position the tag on a wall near the heater (e.g. thermostat or ROBERTS GORDON® Controller).

A copy of the wall tag (P/N 91037912) is illustrated on the back cover. For an immediate solution, you may affix this copy on the wall near the heater.

Know your model number and installed configuration. Model number and installed configuration are found on the burner and in the Installation, Operation and

Service Manual. See Page 5, Figure 3 through Page

8, Figure 12. Write the proper clearance dimensions in

permanent ink according to your model number and configuration in the open spaces on the tag.

2.2 Corrosive Chemicals

CAUTION

Product Damage Hazard

Do not use heater in area containing corrosive chemicals.

Refer to appropriate Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS).

Failure to follow these instructions can result in product damage.

Roberts-Gordon LLC cannot be responsible for ensuring that all appropriate safety measures are undertaken prior to installation; this is entirely the responsibility of the installer. It is essential that the contractor, the sub-contractor, or the owner identifies the presence of combustible materials, corrosive chemicals or halogenated hydrocarbons* anywhere in the premises.

*Halogenated Hydrocarbons are a family of chemical compounds characterized by the presence of halogen elements (fluorine, chlorine, bromine, etc.). These compounds are frequently used in refrigerants, cleaning agents, solvents, etc. If these compounds enter the air supply of the burner, the life span of the heater components will be greatly reduced. An outside air supply must be provided to the burners whenever the presence of these compounds is suspected. Warranty will be invalid if the heater is exposed to halogenated hydrocarbons.

2.3 National Standards and Applicable Codes

All appliances must be installed in accordance with the latest revision of the applicable standards and national codes. This refers also to the electric, gas and venting installation. Note: Additional standards for installations in public garages, aircraft hangars, etc. may be applicable.
