Installation & Service Manual

A.  ALWAYS INSPECT INSTALLATION BEFORE 

STARTING BURNER.
1.  Verify that the venting, water piping, oil piping, 

and electrical system are installed properly.  

Refer to Installation Instructions contained in 

this manual.

2.  Confirm all electrical, water and oil supplies 

are turned off at the source and that the vent is 

clear from obstructions.

  WARNING

      

Completely read, understand and follow all 

instructions in this manual before attempting 

start up.

B.  FILL HEATING SYSTEM WITH WATER.
 

CLEAN  HEATING  SYSTEM  if boiler water is dirty. 

 

Refer to Maintenance and Service Instructions 

Section of this manual for proper cleaning 

instructions for water boilers.
1.  Fill entire heating system with water and vent 

air from system.  Use the following procedure 

on a series loop or multi-zoned system 

installed as per Figures 3-3, and 3-4, to remove 

air from system when filling:
a.  Close full port ball valve in boiler system 

piping.

b.  Isolate all zones by closing zone valves or 

shut-off valves in supply and return of each 

zone(s).

c.  Attach a hose to vertical purge valve in 

boiler system piping.

(

Note

 - Terminate hose in five gallon bucket at 

a suitable floor drain or outdoor area).

d.  Starting with one zone at a time, open zone 

valve or shut-off valve in boiler supply and 

return piping.

e.  Open purge valve.
f.  Open shut-off valve in cold water supply 

piping located  between the air scoop and 

expansion tank.

g.  Allow water to overflow from bucket until 

discharge from hose is bubble free for 30 

seconds.

h.  When zone is completely purged of air, 

close zone valve or shut-off valve.  Open 

zone valve to the next zone to be purged.  

Repeat this step until all zones have been 

purged.  At completion, open all zone 

valves.

i.  Close purge valve, continue filling the 

system until the pressure gauge reads 12 

psi. Close shut-off valve in cold water 

supply piping.

Note

 - If make-up water line is equipped with 

pressure reducing valve, system will 

automatically fill to 12 psig.

 

NOTICE:  

If make-up water line is equipped with 

pressure reducing valve, system will automatically 

fill to 12 psi.  Follow fill valve manufacturer’s 

instructions.

  WARNING

      

The maximum operating pressure of this boiler 

is posted on the ASME Data Label located 

on the top of the boiler.  Never exceed this 

pressure.  DO NOT plug safety or relief valve.

j.  Open full port ball valve in boiler system 

piping.

k.  Remove hose from purge valve.
l.  Confirm that the boiler and system have no 

water leaks.

C.  CHECK CONTROL, WIRING AND BURNER

 

to 

be sure that all connections are tight and burner 

is rigid, that all electrical connections have been 

completed and fuses installed, and that oil tank is 

filled and oil lines have been tested.

D.   LUBRICATION.  Follow instruction on burner 

and circulator label to lubricate, if oil lubricated.  

Most motors currently used on residential type 

burners employ permanently lubricated bearings 

and thus 

DO NOT

 require any field lubrication.  

Water lubricated circulators 

DO NOT

 need field 

lubrication.

E.  ADJUST CONTROL SETTINGS  with burner 

service switch turned “ON”.
1.  SET  ROOM  THERMOSTAT  about 10°F below 

room temperature.

2.  PRESS  RED  RESET  BUTTON on Oil Primary 

Control. Hold button for ten (10) seconds and 

release to reset primary control.

3.  WATER BOILERS WITHOUT TANKLESS 

HEATERS The Boiler Control is factory 

programmed with a High Limit setpoint of 

190°F.  The High Limit setpoint is adjustable 

between 100°F and 220°F.  This temperature 

may be varied to suit the installation 

requirements.
