WARNING

Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause property damage, personal 

injury or loss of life.  Failure to follow all instructions in the proper order can cause personal injury or 

death.  Read and understand all instructions, including all those contained in component manufacturers 

manuals which are provided with the appliance before installing, starting-up, operating, maintaining or 

servicing this appliance.  Keep this manual and literature in legible condition and posted near appliance 

for reference by owner and service technician.
This boiler requires regular maintenance and service to operate safely.  Follow the instructions contained 

in this manual.
Installation, maintenance, and service must be performed only by an experienced, skilled and knowledgeable 

installer or service agency.
All heating systems should be designed by competent contractors and only persons knowledgeable in 

the layout and installation of hydronic heating systems should attempt installation of any boiler.

Installation is NOT complete unless a pressure relief valve is installed into the 3/4" tapping located in top 

left corner of front section - See Figure 1 and "Water Boiler Piping" Section of this manual for details.

It is the responsibility of the installing contractor to see that all controls are correctly installed and are 

operating properly when the installation is complete including verifying that the limit sensor is fully installed.
Failure to properly install Limit Sensor may result in property damage, personal injury or loss of life 

due to elevated operating temperatures and/or pressures. 
This boiler is suitable for installation on combustible flooring.  DO NOT install boiler on carpeting.
DO NOT tamper with or alter the boiler or controls.
Inspect  flueways  at  least  once  a  year  -  preferably  at  the  start  of  the  heating  season.    The  inside  of 

the combustion chamber, the vent system and boiler flueways should be cleaned if soot or scale has 

accumulated.
When cleaning this boiler, take precaution to avoid damage to target wall, chamber liner or burner mounting 

plate insulation.  If damaged, or if there is evidence of previous damage, replace the damaged insulation 

piece(s) immediately.
Oil Burner and Controls must be checked at least once a year or as may be necessitated.
DO NOT operate unit with jumpered or absent controls or safety devices.
DO NOT operate unit if any control, switch, component, or device has been subject to water.
Boiler materials of construction, products of combustion and the fuel contain alumina, silica, heavy metals, 

carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, aldehydes and/or other toxic or harmful substances which can cause 

death or serious injury and which are known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects and 

other reproductive harm.  Always use proper safety clothing, respirators and equipment when servicing 

or working nearby the appliance.
