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 Rapid Engineering LLC
or your RAPID
®
independent distributor to obtain the
wall tag. Affix the tag on a wall near the heater (e.g.
thermostat or control system).
A copy of the wall tag (P/N 91040118) 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 rating plate and in the Installation, Operation
and Service Manual. See Page 3, Figure 1 through
Page 4, Figure 3.
2.2 Corrosive Chemicals
Rapid Engineering 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 air handler components will be greatly reduced. The loca-
tion of the outside air supply must be carefully chosen to supply
outside air, free of these compounds, to the burners whenever
the presence of these compounds is suspect. Warranty will be
invalid if the air handler is exposed to halogenated hydrocar-
bons.
WARNING

CAUTION
