3.14 Removing the AMR Bracing Plate
The AMR bracing plate
MUST
be removed prior to tank installation while the remaining struts,
required for shipping, may be left in place or removed.
After AMR unit is placed, remove the screws affixing the bracing plate covering the lower rear
section of the AMR water heater, as shown in Figure 3-11. Remove all the screws, and then
slide plate from the side of the unit.
Figure 3-11: Removing the AMR Bracing Plate
WARNING!
The buffer tank should only be installed to the main AMR unit AFTER the water heater has been
transported and positioned in place.
DO NOT
attempt to move the entire unit after the buffer
tank is installed.
3.15 AMR 80-Gallon Buffer Tank Installation
To install the 80 gallon buffer tank to all AMR units, follow the procedures below:
Installing the AMR 80-Gallon Buffer Tank
1. Retract threaded tank clamps to allow maximum clearance for the tank (Figure 3-12).
Figure 3-12: 80 Gallon Tank Location and Tank Clamps on AMR Base
NOTE:
One or more of the tank clamps may be temporarily removed, to allow sliding the tank
in from the side. Ensure any clamps removed are reinstalled after tank placement.
2. Center tank as indicated in Figure 3-12. Ensure that water connections are facing the rear of
the AMR water heater as indicated in Figure 3-13.
3. When tank is in correct position, tighten tank clamps against tank (Figure 3-13).
