It is the responsibility and duty of all personnel involved in the operating and maintenance of this
equipment to fully understand the WARNINGS, CAUTIONS and NOTES by which hazards are to be
eliminated or reduced. Personnel must become familiar with all aspects of safety and equipment prior to
operation or maintenance of the equipment.
Note
The Fulton Pulse combustion hydronic heating boiler is not designed for use in systems where
water is replenished. Mineral buildup can occur on the heat transfer surfaces and result in over
heating and possible failure of the heat exchanger.
Caution
Do not install the boiler in an uncontrolled environment where the condensate will be subject to
freezing temperatures.
Note
The boiler must not be installed on carpeting.
Note
The boiler shall be installed such that the gas ignition system components are protected from
water (dripping, spraying, rain, etc.) during boiler operation and service.
Note
All pulse combustion boilers must be installed with vibration isolators. No pulse combustion
boiler shall be lagged directly to the concrete floor due to the transfer of vibration. In the box of
trim shipped with each pulse boiler, Fulton supplies 4 elastomer coated fiberglass cubes used for
vibration isolation. For all non-critical installations these 3" x 3" x 2" cubes must be under each
foot of the boiler. Flex connectors must be installed on the water inlet and outlet lines. For
installations near noise “sensitive” areas such as offices, classrooms, or hospital rooms, spring
mounts, which fit under the corner of each boiler, must be used instead of the cubes. Flex
connectors must be installed on the gas supply water inlet and water outlet lines. Spring loaded
pipe hangers may be used on the air inlet, water inlet and outlet, and the flue gas vent. Contact
your Fulton Representative for vibration isolation packages designed specifically for your
application.
