INSTALLATION
The installation instructions provide a general guideline for the installation and wiring of
the heater. All applicable codes must be adhered to.
MECHANICAL
Heaters must be installed as follows:
LOCATION
1. The heater’s inlet and discharge areas must not be obstructed.
2. The air discharge is not to be directed at a thermostat.
3. The air discharge is directed across areas of heat loss.
MOUNTING
1. The mounting surface must be strong enough to:
a) support the heater’s weight;
b) provide sufficient stiffness to prevent excessive vibration,
and
c) withstand abusive situations such as transportable
installations of the heater.
ELECTRICAL
