1 person is performing lift, straddle the load, tilt and place carton
into position on truck. Recommend secure appliance onto truck
with suitable straps. Ensure safe lifting techniques are used –
keep back straight – bend using legs. Keep load as close to
body as possible. If 2 persons performing lift, ensure co-
ordinated movements during lift. Avoid upper body/top heavy
bending - do not lean forward/sideways. Clear the route before
attempting the lift. If removing boiler from truck straddle the load
and tilt forwards to facilitate secure grip. Ensure safe lifting
techniques are used – keep back straight – bend using legs. Do
not twist – reposition feet instead. Take care to avoid trip
hazards, slippery or wet surfaces and when climbing steps and
stairs. Always use assistance if required.
Carriage of carton from point of delivery to
point of installation – roofspace.
Recommend 2-person lift. Ensure co-ordinated movements
during lift. Avoid upper body/top heavy bending - do not lean
forward/sideways. Clear the route before attempting the lift.
Take care to avoid trip hazards, slippery or wet surfaces and
when climbing steps and stairs. When transferring appliance
into roofspace, recommend 1 person to be in roofspace to
receive the appliance and other person to be below to pass up
and support appliance. Ensure safe lifting techniques are used
– keep back straight – bend using legs. Keep load as close to
body as possible. Always use assistance if required. It is
assumed safe access, flooring and adequate lighting are
provided in the roof space. It is recommended a risk assessment
of the roof space area be carried out before moving the
appliance into the area to take into account access, stability of
flooring, lighting and other factors, and appropriate measures
taken.
Unpacking of appliance from carton.
Recommend 2 persons unpack appliance from carton. Always
keep working area clear. Recommend cut base end of carton
and open carton flaps, then tilt boiler forwards from its side onto
its base and remove carton by sliding up over the boiler. Ensure

using legs. Keep load as close to body as possible. Always use
assistance if required. Dispose of packaging in a responsible
manner. Recommend wear suitable cut resistant gloves with
good grip to protect against sharp edges and ensure good grip
when handling appliance outside packaging.
Positioning of Appliance for Final Installation
– no obstructions.
Recommend 2 persons lift appliance to position into place. Fit
bracket securely onto wall before lifting appliance into position.
Obtain firm grip on front and sides of appliance, lift upwards,
ensure stable balance achieved and lift upwards to position in
place on bracket. Ensure safe lifting techniques are used – keep
back straight – bend using legs - when lifting load from floor
level. Do not twist – reposition feet instead. Keep boiler as close
as possible to body throughout lift to minimise strain on back.
Ensure co-ordinated movements to ensure equal spread of
weight of load. Always use assistance if required. Recommend
wear suitable cut resistant gloves with good grip to protect
against sharp edges and ensure good grip when handling
appliance.
Positioning of Appliance for Final Installation
– above worktop, foreseeable obstructions
etc.
Recommend 2 persons lift appliance to position into place. Fit
bracket securely onto wall before lifting appliance into position.
Obtain firm grip on front and sides of appliance, lift upwards,
onto worktop if practicable. Ensure stable balance achieved
and lift upwards to position in place on bracket. If 2 persons
positioning onto bracket obtain firm grip at front and sides/base
of boiler. Ensure co-ordinated movements during 2 person lifts
to ensure equal spread of weight of load. Ensure safe lifting
techniques are used – keep back straight – bend using legs -
when lifting load from floor level. Do not twist – reposition feet
instead. Keep boiler as close as possible to body throughout lift
to minimise strain on back. Avoid upper body/top heavy
bending - do not lean forward/sideways. Always use assistance
if required. Recommend wear suitable cut resistant gloves with
good grip to protect against sharp edges and ensure good grip
when handling appliance.
Positioning of Appliance for Final Installation
– within compartment etc. restricting
installation.
Recommend 2 persons lift appliance to position into place,
space permitting. Fit bracket securely onto wall before lifting
appliance into position. Obtain firm grip on front and sides of
appliance, lift upwards, onto worktop if practicable. Ensure
stable balance achieved and lift upwards to drop into place onto
bracket. If 2 persons positioning onto bracket obtain firm grip at
front and sides/base of boiler. Ensure co-ordinated movements
during 2 person lifts to ensure equal spread of weight of load. If
1 person positioning onto bracket recommend obtain firm grip
supporting base of boiler. Ensure safe lifting techniques are
used – keep back straight – bend using legs - when lifting load
from floor level. Do not twist – reposition feet instead. Keep
boiler as close as possible to body throughout lift to minimise
strain on back. Always use assistance if required. Recommend
wear suitable cut resistant gloves with good grip to protect
against sharp edges and ensure good grip when handling
appliance.
Positioning of Appliance for Final Installation
– in roof space restricting installation.
Recommend 2 persons lift appliance to position into place,
space permitting. Fit bracket securely onto wall before lifting
appliance into position. Obtain firm grip on front and sides of
appliance, lift upwards, ensure stable balance achieved and lift
upwards to position into place onto bracket. If 2 persons
positioning onto bracket obtain firm grip at front and sides/base
of boiler. Ensure co-ordinated movements during 2 person lifts
to ensure equal spread of weight of load. If 1 person positioning
onto bracket recommend obtain firm grip supporting base of
boiler. Ensure safe lifting techniques are used - keep back
straight – bend using legs - when lifting load from floor level. Do
not twist – reposition feet instead. Keep boiler as close as
possible to body throughout lift to minimise strain on back.
Always use assistance if required. Recommend wear suitable
cut resistant gloves with good grip to protect against sharp
edges and ensure good grip when handling appliance. It is
recommended a risk assessment of the roof space area be
carried out before moving the appliance into the area to take into
