2.1 Wall Tag
A laminated wall tag is available for the heater as a
permanent reminder of the safety instructions and
the importance of the required clearances to
combustibles. Please contact Weather-Rite LLC or
your WEATHER-RITE
™
independent distributor to
obtain the wall tag. Affix the tag on a wall near the
heater (e.g. thermostat or control system).
A copy of the wall tag (P/N 91040118) is illustrated on
the back cover. For an immediate solution, you may
affix this copy on the wall near the heater.
Know your model number and installed configuration.
Model number and installed configuration are found
on the rating plate and in the Installation, Operation
and Service Manual.
2.2 Corrosive Chemicals
Weather-Rite LLC cannot be responsible for ensuring
that all appropriate safety measures are undertaken
prior to installation; this is entirely the responsibility of
the installer. It is essential that the contractor, the
sub-contractor, or the owner identifies the presence
of combustible materials, corrosive chemicals or
halogenated hydrocarbons* anywhere in the
premises.
* Halogenated Hydrocarbons are a family of chemical
compounds characterized by the presence of halogen elements
(fluorine, chlorine, bromine, etc.). These compounds are
frequently used in refrigerants, cleaning agents, solvents, etc. If
these compounds enter the air supply of the burner, the life span
of the air handler components will be greatly reduced. The loca-
tion of the outside air supply must be carefully chosen to supply
outside air, free of these compounds, to the burners whenever
the presence of these compounds is suspect. Warranty will be
invalid if the air handler is exposed to halogenated hydrocar-
bons.
WARNING

Equipment must have access to
uncontaminated air at all times.
Failure to follow these instructions can result
in death, injury or property damage.
CAUTION
Product Damage Hazard
Do not use equipment in area containing
corrosive chemicals.
Refer to appropriate Material Safety Data
Sheets (MSDS).
