Rinnai 17 B Series Heat Pump OIM - Issue 1
TRANSPORT AND HANDLING
IMPORTANT
When moving the unit, it MUST be close to vertical at all times�
When using a trolley to move the unit, ensure it is not tilted more than 45° from the vertical�
Non compliance will void warranty and severely aect product performance and operation
The Rinnai Electric Heat Pump MUST be transported at
an angle no greater that 45º from vertical.
As the compressor unit is located at the top of the electric
heat pump, should the heat pump be tilted at a greater
angle than 45º from vertical, the lubrication oil within the
compressor can run down into the mufers.
This will leave the compressor motor without sufcient
lubrication and lead to premature failure of the compressor
unit.
As a general good practice it is better to keep the
compressor upright as much as possible. Returning the
Rinnai Electric Heat Pump to a vertical position will allow
the oil to properly ow back into the compressor motor.
Tilting the heat pump beyond 45º from vertical will also
place undue strain on compressor motor mounts and
associated piping.
45°
Never tilt unit more than 45˚ from vertical
POSITIONING THE HEAT PUMP
Arrive at site and conduct a safety audit. Safety audits can also be known
as Work Method Statements (WMS) or Job Site Analysis (JSA).
Park your vehicle as close as allowable to your installation. Unload all
materials in a safe manner.
Position all materials in a convenient position near the work area.
Where the requirements for internal installation can’t be met, the heat
pump MUST be installed outdoors.
The location MUST consider noise impact on living areas. Avoid
positioning near bedrooms or neighbours’ bedrooms. Although the
running noise level is very low it can be expected that the heat pump will
run during the night.
Adequate access MUST be available to the relief valve and anodes.
Safely position the new unit on a level surface in accordance with all
plumbing and building regulations.
A properly drained overow tray MUST be used where property
damage could occur from water spillage. (See AS/NZS 3500.4.2 for
further details.)
NOTE
DO NOT drain on to grass or garden beds�
DO NOT commence a job where the risks cannot be
controlled�
Allow 200m
3
of free space surrounding the unit. This provides clear
ambient airow assisting the product’s performance. Ensure the
clearance requirements specied in the section ‘Dimensions’ on page
13. are complied with. The area MUST also be clear of debris such
as leaves and tree branches.
Install a plinth under the heat pump
where it is subjected to wet conditions
