Installation, Operating & Service Instructions

CAUTION

Boiler Damage.

•

Do not attempt to lift boiler using water

or gas pipe connection as hand holds.

• Do not drop boiler. Damage to boiler can result.

• Do not rest boiler on bottom with side panels

removed. Boiler should be hung from wall

bracket.

Preparing Boiler

Remove boiler and parts carton from outer shipping

carton.

CAUTION

Heavy Object.

Boiler weighs up to 130 lb (59 kg). Two people

are required to lift boiler onto wall mounting

bracket. Ensure wall bracket is anchored to

structure capable of supporting weight of

boiler and attached piping when filled with

water. Areas subject to earthquakes may have

special requirements that take precedence over

requirements in these instructions.
