Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 defines
manual handling as: "any transporting or supporting of
a load (including the lifting, putting down, pushing,
pulling, carrying or moving thereof) by hand or bodily
force". The Regulations set no specific requirements
such as weight limits. However common sense still has
to be used based on an ergonomic approach for each
individual.

(b) Checks the operation of the expansion relief valve and temperature & pressure relief valve. (c) Recommissions the cylinder in accordance with the instructions on page 4. Pressure reducing valve Expansion relief cartridge Isolate the cold water supply. -
Page 7: Electrical Installation
To comply with regulations governing the installation of indirect unvented cylinders, a motorised valve must be fitted in the primary flow. Your OSO unit has been supplied with a two port motorised valve, which will act as a positive energy cut-out should the safety cut-out operate. The motorised valve will also control the temperature of the domestic stored water via the cylinder thermostat, which is located in the upper electrical box. - Page 8 S Plan Wiring Layout UPPER ELECTRICAL BOX For Other Boilers Refer To Boiler Manufacturer The wiring plan shown is based on the use of a 10-way Junction Box (Honeywell Part no. 42002116-001) Junction Box terminal 10 is switched live and, if needed, terminal 9 is pump live.
