2.1 Corrosive Chemicals

CAUTION

Do not use heater and pump in an area containing corrosive chemicals.

Avoid the use of corrosive chemicals to ensure a longer life of the pump, burner, tubing and other parts.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in property 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 com- pounds characterized by the presence of halogen elements (flu- orine, 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.

2.2 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.

SECTION 3: UNPACKING THE PUMP 3.1 Open Shipping Cartons
