WARNING

Asphyxiation Hazard. Each boiler is tested at the factory and adjustments to the air fuel mixture are

normally not necessary when operating on natural gas at sea level. Consult the factory before attempting to

make any such adjustments. Improper gas valve or mixture adjustments could result in property damage,

personal injury or loss of life due to carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning.

WARNING

Asphyxiation Hazard. The outlet pressure for the gas valve has been factory set and requires no field

adjustment. This setting is satisfactory for both natural gas and propane. Attempting to adjust the outlet

pressure may result in damage to the gas valve and cause property damage, personal injury or loss of life.

due to carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning.
