Here we explain how to prevent the new water heater slipping when using the hot rod hand truck to install into a drip pan.
Some users experience slippage when they pull back on the top of the water heater during lifting. If you’ve experienced this problem, the solution is to make sure the cinch strap is set up correctly before you try to lift.
The best way is shown in our Hot Rod Hand Truck Basics video. See how low the hand truck touches the tank.
