Positioning the unit for final installation –
restricted installation
> If the unit weighs more than 25 kg, it should always be
transported by two persons, where possible.
> Fix the unit bracket securely to the wall before lifting the
unit and placing it in position.
> If required, provide the work surface with sufficient pro-
tection against damage.
> Ensure that you hold the unit securely at the front and
side and lift it - if available - onto the work surface.
> Hold the unit in a balanced position and then lift it fur-
ther upwards and position it on the bracket.
> If the unit is being positioned on the bracket by two per-
sons, ensure that you have a firm grip on the front and
side/bottom of the boiler.
> Ensure your movements are coordinated if the unit is
being lifted by 2 persons, so that its weight is evenly dis-
tributed.
> Use safe lifting techniques – keep your back straight –
and bend your legs at the knee –if you are lifting some-
thing from the floor.
> Do not twist your body – instead, reposition your feet.
> During the entire lifting process, hold the boiler as close
as possible to your body to minimise the strain on your
back.
> If required, get somebody to assist you in this.
> Wear appropriate cut-resistant and non-slip gloves to
protect yourself against sharp edges and maintain a safe
and secure grip while handling the unit.
