General.
A new water heater is preserved, packaged, and crated to meet military requirements
for domestic shipment. The heater is shipped with all necessary attachments for normal operation.
WARNING

injury could result if the water heater falls on an individual.
b.
Unloading Instructions. The crated water heater may be lifted by using a fork lift, crane, or other
approved lifting device with capacity of at least 1065 pounds (483 kg). If a crane is used, arrange slings under
