RULES FOR SAFE INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
• Read the installation manual before beginning
the installation. Failure to follow the rules for
safe operation and the instructions can cause a
malfunction of the boiler and result, serious bodily
injury, and/or property damage.
• Check your local codes and utility requirements
before installation. The installation must be
in accordance with their directives, or, in their
absence, follow NFPA Installation Codes and
good industry practice.
• Before servicing, allow boiler to cool. Always shut
off any electricity and oil to boiler when working on
it. This will prevent any electrical shocks or burns.
• Inspect oil lines and connections for leaks.
• Be certain oil burner nozzle or gas orifice is size
required. Over-firing will result in early failure of
the boiler sections. This will cause dangerous
operation.
• Never vent this boiler into an enclosed space.
Always vent to the outside. Never vent to another
room or inside a building.
• Be sure there is adequate air supply for complete
combustion.
• Follow a regular service and maintenance
schedule for efficient and safe operation.
• Keep boiler area clean and free of combustible
material, gasoline, and other flammable vapors
and liquids.
• Proper through-the-wall venting requires use of
complete FDVS (oil-fired units only).
• Oil and gas burners are not do-it-yourself items.
This boiler must be installed and serviced by
qualified professionals using combustion test
instruments.
• Be aware when piping the relief valve if the
system pressure exceeds the safe limit of 30 lbs.
per square inch, the relief valve will automatically
open. Lifting of the relief valve can discharge large
quantities of steam and hot water, which may
damage the surroundings. Before installing the
relief valve, read the manufacturer’s instructions
and the maintenance section of the manual on
relief valves.
