2. HANDLING AND UNPACKING
Before continuing any further with the installation of this heater please read the
following:
Important instructions.
The approximate lifting weight (kg) of the heater parts are listed below:
Model Heat engine Fascia Optional Spacer (See section 4)
Petrus 7.7 10.0 1.0*
Dream 7.7 12.4 1.0*
One person should be sufficient to lift the heater. If for any reason this weight is
considered too heavy then obtain assistance.
When lifting always keep your back straight. Bend your legs and not your back.
Avoid twisting at the waist. It is better to reposition your feet.
Avoid upper body / top heavy bending. Always bend from the knees rather than the
waist. Do not lean forward or sideways whilst handling the heater.
Always grip with the palm of the hand. Do not use the tips of fingers for support.
Always keep the heater as close to the body as possible. This will minimise the
cantilever action.
Use gloves to provide additional grip.
Always use assistance if required.

Please read this section thoroughly before positioning the heater.
Do I need any tools?
Depending upon the chosen method of installation you may need the following tools: -

screwdriver. This should have a number 2 size tip.

A We do not recommend the heater for this type of installation.
