1. Installer must be a trained, experienced technician and should read all
instructions before installation.
2. Inspect the boiler, jacket and all components to be sure damage has not
occurred in shipment. If damage is evident a claim must be filed with the freight
carrier who transported the boiler from the factory to the distributor where it
was purchased. Do not install the boiler. Contact your distributor.
3. Disconnect power supply before connecting wiring.
4. Refer to local codes for oil burning equipment, for recommended installation
practice. You will need to be familiar with NFPA International Standard 31,
“Standard for the Installation of Oil Burning Equipment”.
5. A complete heat loss calculation is necessary to choose the proper size unit to
install. The boiler should be sized to within 25% of the actual heat loss of the
structure. Over sizing will result in short cycling and inefficient operation.
6. When moving the boiler, do not push against the jacket or burner. Damage will
result.
7. If the boiler is vented to a chimney, be certain the chimney is clean and free of
obstructions. The chimney must be masonry with tile lining or metal insulated
with a stainless steel surface. The Chimney must be properly sized. Draft
requirements are essential for safe and proper operation of the boiler.
8. If the boiler is connected to a venting device, make sure that it is listed by a rec-
ognized testing service. Follow the venting device manufacturer’s installation
instructions. Verify that the venting device installation complies with the recom-
mendations of the manufacturer and local and state codes.
9. Conduct a thorough checkout when installation is complete. Check for
indications of leaks and make sure that no material is left adjacent to the
boiler.
