READ ALL OF THE FOLLOWING WARNINGS AND

STATEMENTS BEFORE READING THE

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

L

IQUEFIED PETROLEUM (L.P.)

PROPANE GAS-FIRED BOILERS

Installation location ONLY as permitted in paragraph
entitled "LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM (L.P.) PROPANE
GAS-FIRED BOILER LOCATION" on page 4 of this
instruction book. 
The above warning does not apply to

NATURAL

gas

fired boilers.

The installation must conform to the requirements of the
authority having jurisdiction or, in the absence of such
requirements, to the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1-
latest edition or 

CSA B149.1-00 for natural gas and

propane

. The installation must also conform to the

additional requirements in this Slant/Fin Instruction Book.

In addition, where required by the authority having juris dic -
tion, the installation must conform to American Society of
Mechanical Engineers Safety Code for Controls and Safety
Devices for Automatically Fired Boilers, No. CSD-1 or 

CSA

B149.1-00 for natural gas and propane

. If there is any

conflict in the above requirements, then the more stringent
requirement will apply.

WARNING

This boiler, gas piping and accessories must be
installed, connected, serviced and repaired by a
trained, experienced service technician, familiar with
all precautions required for gas-fired equipment and
licensed or otherwise qualified, in compliance with
the authority having jurisdiction.

WARNING

The venting system of this boiler is under positive
pressure. Leakage from this system can be hazardous
and if not avoided can result in death or serious injury. In
addition to the recommendations within this manual and
the User’s Information Manual, the venting system, from
the flue collector to the outdoor discharge, must be
carefully checked annually by a qualified service agency.

This manual must be left
with owner and should be
hung on or adjacent to the
boiler for reference.
