This manual supplies information for the installation, operation and servicing of the appliance. It is strongly recommended that 
this manual be reviewed completely before proceeding with an installation. 

 

NOTE: RETAIN THIS MANUAL FOR FUTURE REFERENCE 

 

WARNING

 

IMPROPER INSTALLATION, ADJUSTMENT, ALTERATION, SERVICE OR MAINTENANCE

 can cause injury or property 

damage. Refer to this manual. For additional information, consult a qualified installer, service agency or gas supplier.

 

 

 

DO NOT 

Do not use this appliance if any part of it has been 

under water

. The possible damage to a flooded appliance can be extensive 

and present numerous safety hazards. Any appliance that has been 

under water 

must be replaced.

 

DO NOT

 

Do not turn this appliance on unless the pipes are filled with water, failure to do so will damage the circulator pump. 

IMPORTANT 

Consult and follow local Building and Fire Regulations and other Safety Codes that apply to this installation. Contact the local 
gas utility company to authorize and inspect all gas and flue connections. 

Installation and service must be performed by 

CAMUS qualified factory trained service technicians. 

Boilers and water heaters are heat producing appliances. To avoid damage or injury, do not store materials against the appliance 
or the vent-air intake system. Use proper care to avoid unnecessary contact (especially children) with the appliance and vent-air 
intake components.  
Never cover your appliance, lean anything against it, store trash or debris near it, stand on it or in any way block the flow of fresh 
air to your appliance. 

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES

 may flammable materials such as gasoline or paint thinner be used or stored in the vicinity of this 

appliance, vent-air intake system or any location from which fumes could reach the appliance or vent-air intake system. 

TO: Owners, Operators and/or Maintenance Personnel

 

This  operating  manual  presents  information  that  will  help  to  properly  operate  and  care  for  the  equipment.  Study  its  contents 
carefully. The unit will provide good service and continued operation if proper operating and maintenance instructions are followed. 
No attempt should be made to operate the unit until the principles of operation and all of the components are thoroughly understood. 
It is the responsibility of the owner to provide training and advice in all aspects of safety not only to his or her personnel, but to any 
contractors' personnel who will be servicing, repairing, or operating the equipment. 
CAMUS equipment is designed and engineered to give long life and excellent service on the job. The electrical and mechanical 
devices supplied as part of the unit were chosen because of their known ability to perform; however, proper operating techniques 
and maintenance procedures must be followed at all times. 
Any “automatic” features included in the design do not relieve the attendant of any responsibility. Such features merely eliminate 
certain repetitive chores, allowing more time for the proper upkeep of equipment. 
It  is solely the  operator’s responsibility to  properly  operate and maintain the  equipment.  No  amount  of  written instructions  can 
replace intelligent thinking and reasoning and this manual is not intended to relieve the operating personnel of the responsibility 
for proper operation. On the other hand, a thorough understanding of this manual is required before attempting to operate, maintain, 
service, or repair this equipment. 
Operating controls will normally function for long periods of time and we have found that some operators become lax in their daily 
or  monthly  testing,  assuming  that  normal  operation  will  continue  indefinitely.  Malfunctions  of  controls  lead  to  uneconomical 
operation and damage and, in most cases, these conditions can be traced directly to carelessness and deficiencies in testing and 
maintenance. 
The operation of this equipment by the owner and any operating personnel must comply with all requirements or regulations of the 
insurance  company  and/or  other  authority  having  jurisdiction.  In  the  event  of  any  conflict  or  inconsistency  between  such 
requirements and the warnings or instructions contained herein, please contact CAMUS before proceeding.
