transportation and Handling
Handle
<Figure 4.1.1>
Cylinder unit is delivered on a wooden pallet base with cardboard protection.
Care should be taken when transporting the cylinder unit that the casing is not
damaged by impact. Do not remove the protective packaging until cylinder unit
has reached its final location. This will help protect the structure and control panel.
• The cylinder unit can be transported either vertically or horizontally. If transported
horizontally the panel marked 'Front' must be facing UPWArdS <Figure 4.1.1>.
• The cylinder unit should ALWAYS be moved by a minimum of 2 people.
• When carrying the cylinder unit use the handles provided.
• Before using the handles, make sure they are securely attached.
• Please remove front handle, fixing legs, wooden base and any other pack-
aging once the unit is in installation location.
• Keep the handles for future transportation.

Suitable location

Before installation the cylinder unit should be stored in a frost-free weather-
proof location. Units must nOt be stacked.
• The cylinder unit should be installed indoors in a frost free weather proof loca-
tion.
• The cylinder unit should be positioned on a level surface capable of supporting
it's filled weight. (Adjustable feet (accessory parts) can be used to ensure unit is
level)
• When using the adjustable feet, ensure that the floor is strong enough.
• Care should be taken that minimum distances around and in front of the unit for
service access are observed <Figure 4.1.2>.
• Secure the cylinder unit to prevent it being knocked over.
• Install the cylinder unit where it is not exposed to water/excessive moisture.

Service access
The cylinder unit must be located indoors and in a frost-free environment, for
example in a utility room, to minimise heat loss from stored water.

room thermostat

If fitting a new room thermostat for this system;
• Position it out of direct sunlight and draughts
• Position it away from internal heat sources
• Position it in a room without a TRV on the radiator/heat emitter.
• Position it on an internal wall
note: do not position the thermostat excessively close to the external wall.
the thermostat may detect the temperature of the wall, which could
affect appropriate control of the room temperature.
• Position it approx. 1.5 m from floor level
repositioning
If you need to move the cylinder unit to a new position FULLY DRAIN the cylinder
unit before moving to avoid damage to the unit.
