will invalidate the warranty.
6. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities. Or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning
installation and/or use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
7. The safety valve (TP valve) must be mounted on the geyser before use.
8. A pressure and expansion relief valve must be fitted.
9. The geyser is fitted with an immersed electric heating element that will be
damaged if operated in air without warranty coverage. The geyser must be filled
with water before the electricity is switched on to the element.
10. The geyser is fitted with a thermostat, which incorporates a cut-out safety
device.
11. To prevent risk of hot water scalding it is recommended to install a thermostatic
mixing valve. The valve limits the hot water going out of the geyser to the home
to 55˚C, protects the hot water pipes and taps, and is especially important for
the safety of young children and the elderly.
12. Corrosion is usually minimised through pH control and corrosion inhibitor use;
however corrosion problems are unlikely to occur in air-free closed-loop systems.
13. The geyser outlet acts a vent, and must not be connected to any form of tap or
fitting which is not recommended by the installation instructions and/or
schematics.
14. Only licensed personnel should install and maintain the solar water heating
system. All appropriate safety precautions - as per local building regulations,
local bylaws and national regulations - must be strictly adhered to. Precautions
to be followed include all the following: ladders must be securely positioned and
anchored before use; ropes must be of the appropriate load-bearing
specification and must be checked regularly for fraying; safety gloves must be
used when lifting and mounting the system to/from the roof; safety goggles
should be used when any welding work is being performed; a safety anchor of
the appropriate load bearing specification should be permanently fastened to a
roof truss and should be used to harness workers on the roof; appropriate gloves
and/or bibs should be used when handling thermal transfer fluid.
