2.1 Low Level User Instructions

In all situations, clearances to combustibles must be maintained. Signs should be posted in storage areas to specify the maximum stacking height of items placed below heater to maintain required clearances to combustibles. Minimum clearances must be maintained from vehicles parked below the heater. Caution should be used when running the system near combustible materials such as wood, paper, rubber, etc. Consideration should be given to partitions, storage racks, hoists, building construction, etc.

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. This copy of the wall tag can be affixed 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. Write the largest clearance dimensions with 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 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 com- pounds are frequently used in refrigerants, cleaning agents, solvents, etc. If these compounds enter the air supply of the burner, the lifespan of the heater compo- nents 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.
