Read This First
1. Installer must be a trained, experienced technician and should read all instructions before
installation.
2. Inspect the boiler, jacket and all components to be sure damage has not occurred
in shipment. If damage is evident, do not install the boiler. Contact your distributor
immediately. A claim must be filed with the freight carrier that transported the boiler
from the factory to the distributor.
3. Disconnect power supply before connecting wiring.
4. Refer to local codes for oil burning equipment, for recommended installation practice. You
will need to be familiar with NFPA Standard 31, “Standard for the Installation of Oil
Burning Equipment”.
5. A complete heat loss calculation is necessary to choose the proper size unit to install. The
boiler should be sized to within 25% of the actual heat loss of the structure. Over sizing
will result in short cycling and inefficient operation.
6. When moving the boiler, do not push against the jacket or burner. Damage will result.
7. If the boiler is vented to a chimney, be certain the chimney is clean and free of
obstructions. The chimney must be masonry with tile lining or metal insulated with a
stainless steel surface. The chimney must be properly sized. Draft requirements are
essential for safe and proper operation of the boiler.
8. If the boiler is connected to a venting device, make sure that it is listed by a recognized
testing service. Follow the venting device manufacturer’s installation instructions. Verify
that the venting device installation complies with the recommendations of the
manufacturer and local and state codes.
9. Conduct a thorough checkout when installation is complete. Check for indications of
leaks and make sure that no material is left adjacent to the boiler.
10.
The use of low sulfur No. 2 heating oil is highly recommended.
11.
Modification, substitution or elimination of factory equipped, supplied or specified
components may result in property damage, personal injury or the loss of life.
