SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

Installing and servicing heating equipment can be hazardous due

to gas and electrical components. Only trained and qualified
personnel should install, repair, or service heating equipment.

Untrained personnel can perform basic maintenance functions

such as maintaining water level. All other operations must be
performed by trained service personnel. When working on

heating equipment, observe precautions in literature, on tags, and
on labels attached to or shipped with unit and other safety

precautions that may apply.
Recognize safety information. This is the safety--alert symbol

. When you see this symbol on the unit and in instruction

manuals, be alert to the potential for personal injury.
Understand

the

signal

words

DANGER,

WARNING,

CAUTION, and NOTE. These words are used with the

safety--alert symbol. DANGER identifies the most serious
hazards which

will

result in severe personal injury or death.

WARNING signifies hazards which

could

result in personal

injury or death. CAUTION is used to identify unsafe practices

which

may

result in minor personal injury or product and

property damage. NOTE is used to highlight suggestions which

will

result in enhanced installation, reliability, or operation.

ama

CERTIFIED

ASME

Read and obey the following rules to ensure safe installation and

operation:

1. Read the entire installation manual before beginning the

installation.

Failure to follow these rules of safe

installation and operation and these instructions could

cause a malfunction of the boiler and result in death,
serious bodily injury, and/or property damage.

2. Check all applicable state and local building codes and

utility company requirements before installation. The
installation must conform with these requirements in their

entirety. In the absence of these codes, use NFPA
Installation Codes and good industry practices.

3. Before servicing the boiler, allow boiler to cool. Always

shut off any electricity and gas supply connected to the
boiler prior to servicing.

4. Inspect gas line for leaks.
5. Be certain gas input rate is correct. Overfiring may result

in early failure of boiler sections. This may cause
dangerous operation. Underfiring may result in too much

air for the pre--mix burner causing poor combustion or
loss of combustion.

6. Never vent the products of combustion from this boiler to

an enclosed space. Always vent to the outdoors. Never
vent to another room or to inside a building.

7. Be sure there is adequate air supply to boiler for complete

combustion.

8. Follow a regular service and maintenance schedule for

efficient and safe operation.

9. Keep boiler area clean and free from combustible and

flammable materials.
