General Information
Please read the literature enclosed by the
manufacturers regarding the various accessory devices.
These devices are warranted by the manufacturer, NOT
by TARM USA, INC. These accessory devices must be
installed and used according to the recommendations of
the manufacturer unless instructed otherwise in this
manual.
NOTE: All boilers must be installed in accordance with
national, state and local plumbing, heating and electrical
codes, and the regulations of the serving electric, water
and gas utilities.
Plumbing diagrams in this manual are for basic
information only and may not show all valves, vents,
fittings, etc that are normally included in finished boiler
installations.
All systems should be designed by competent
contractors, and only persons knowledgeable in the
layout and installation of heating systems should
attempt the installation of any boiler.
It is the responsibility of the installing contractor to see
that all controls are installed correctly and that they are
operating properly when the installation is complete.
If any fans are used in the fuel storage area, they should
be installed so as not to create negative pressure in the
room where the solid-fueled burning appliance is
located.
Please read carefully the section “OPERATION
DURING SUMMER”. Failure to protect your boiler from
condensation during the warmer months MAY VOID
YOUR WARRANTY! SEE PAGE 48.
Do not use this boiler if any part has been under water.
Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect
the boiler and to replace any part of the control system
and any gas control which has been under water.
Homeowners should read and familiarize themselves
with “BOILER OVERHEATING” and “OPERATING IN
THE EVENT OF POWER FAILURE”. SEE PAGES 53
TO 55.
