1 SAFETY NOTES

Before commissioning, please read the documentation carefully and pay attention to the safety
instructions given in particular. Please consult this manual if anything is unclear.

Make sure that you understand the instructions contained in this manual and that you are sufficiently
informed regarding the way in which the biomass boiler system works. Should you have any queries at
any time, please do not hesitate to contact HERZ.

For safety reasons, the owner of the system must not make any changes to the construction or the state
of the system without consulting the manufacturer or his authorised representative.

Make sure that there is a sufficient supply of fresh air to the boiler room (please heed the relevant
national regulations)

All connections are to be checked before the commissioning of the system in order to make sure that
they are leak-tight.

A portable fire-extinguisher of the prescribed size is to be kept by the boiler room. (Please heed the
relevant national regulations).

When opening the door to the combustion chamber, make sure that no flue gas or sparks escape.
Never leave the combustion chamber door open unattended as toxic gases may escape.

Never heat the boiler using liquid fuels such as petrol or similar.

Carry out maintenance regularly (in accordance with the maintenance schedule) or use our Customer
Service department. (The minimum maintenance intervals specified in the TGPF are to be observed).

When carrying out maintenance on the system or opening the control unit, the power supply is to be
disconnected and the generally valid safety regulations are to be heeded.

In the boiler room, no fuels may be stored outside the system. It is also not permitted for objects which
are not required for the purpose of operating or carrying out maintenance on the system to be kept in
the boiler room.

When filling the fuel bunker using a pump truck, the boiler must always be switched off (this is stamped
on the cover of the filling connection). If this instruction is not heeded, flammable and toxic gases may
get into the storage room!

The fuel bunker is to be protected against unauthorised access.

Always disconnect the power supply if you need to enter the fuel bunker.

Always use low-voltage lamps in the storage room (these must be approved for this type of use by the
relevant manufacturer).

The system is only to be operated using the types of fuel prescribed.

Before the ash is transported further, it must be stored temporarily for at least 96 hours in order to let it
cool down.

Should you have any queries, please call us on +43/3357 / 42840-840.

Initial commissioning must be carried out by the HERZ Customer Service department or an authorised
specialist (otherwise any warranty claim will not be applicable).

Ventilate the pellet storage area for ~ 30 minutes before going in.

The boiler meets the requirements of the Association of Swiss Canton Fire Insurance Companies or
national fire safety regulations. The customer himself shall be responsible without exception for
ensuring that these regulations are complied with on site!
