morning, late in the evening, when the roof is wet or during and after periods of rain.

All work must be carried out in accordance with Local, State and Federal Occupational Safety, Health

and Welfare Regulations. In particular, the requirements for safety whilst manual lifting, working at

heights and on roofs.

Installers must be competently trained in:

 Height Hazard Assessment

 Working at Height Procedures

 Assessment / Use / Wearing of correct height safety equipment (harnesses etc.)

 All other relevant safety factors specific to the installation and maintenance work to be compliant

with suitable Occupational, Health and Safety Regulations / Codes.

All relevant permits shall be obtained from the regulatory authorities before commencing work to install

All work carried out must be performed by appropriately qualified tradespeople or be suitably supervised

for trades assistant duties.

Every care must be taken to protect and warn occupants of the building and the public from personal

injury which may occur from falling tools, roof materials, fittings or any other hazards of a general nature.

Advise the occupants of any inconvenience which may occur due to disconnection of existing water and

electrical supplies.

The connection, attachment, integration or general association of other equipment or parts which either

directly or indirectly affect the operation or performance of this equipment could void the Rheem

warranty.

All packaging materials must be removed from the water heater prior to its installation. This includes the

removal of the cardboard base of the carton from the underside of the water heater.

conditions. The system must be installed with the full length of the solar hot and solar cold pipes insulated

and power must be available at the solar control unit to offer protection against freeze damage (refer to

“Warning: Plumber Be Aware” on page 42). Freeze conditions occur below 6°C.

A system has NO WARRANTY for freeze damage when installed above 400 metres altitude or if the solar

hot and solar cold pipes are not insulated in accordance with the installation instructions or if power is not

available at the solar control unit (refer to “Terms of the Rheem Warranty” on page 59).

Note: The Rheem warranty against freeze damage applies only to systems installed in Australia.
