SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Installing and servicing heating equipment can be hazardous due
to oil and electrical components. Only trained and qualified
personnel should install, repair, or service heating equipment.
Untrained personnel can perform basic maintenance functions
such as maintaining water level. All other operations must be
performed by trained service personnel. When working on
heating equipment, observe precautions in literature, on tags, and
on labels attached to or shipped with unit and other safety
precautions that may apply. Recognize safety information. This is
the safety--alert symbol . When you see this symbol on unit or in
instructions and manuals, be alert to potential for personal injury.
Understand
the signal words DANGER, WARNING,
CAUTION, and NOTE. These words are used with the
safety--alert symbol. DANGER identifies the most serious
hazards which will result in severe personal injury or death.
WARNING signifies hazards which could result in personal
injury or death. CAUTION is used to identify unsafe practices
which
may
result in minor personal injury or product and
property damage. NOTE is used to highlight suggestions which
will result in enhanced installation, reliability, or operation. Read
and obey the following rules to ensure safe installation and
operation:
1. Read the Owner’s Manual carefully for safe operation.
Failure to follow the rules of safe operation and the
instructions can cause a
malfunction of the boiler and result in death, serious
bodily injury, and/or property damage.
2. Check local codes and utility requirements before
installation. The installation must be in accordance with
their directives, or follow NFPA 31–Installation of Oil
Burning Equipment, latest revision.
3. Before servicing, allow boiler to cool. Always shut off any
electricity and oil to boiler when working on it. This
prevents any electrical shocks or burns.
4. Inspect oil line and connections for leaks.
5. Be certain oil burner nozzle is size required. Overfiring
will result in early failure of boiler sections. This causes
dangerous operation.
6. Never vent this boiler into an enclosed space. Always vent
to the outside. Never vent to another room or inside a
building.
