User’s Information Manual
The User’s Information Manual provides information to the boiler
owner/user for routine operation and maintenance and emergency
shutdown. Detailed information on boiler installation, operation,
start-up, service and parts is included in the Boiler Manual. The
Boiler Manual is intended
only for use by a qualified installer/
service technician
.
Failure to adhere to the guidelines on this page can result in severe
personal injury, death or substantial property damage.
Boiler water
4. DO NOT use petroleum-based cleaning or sealing compounds
in boiler system. Water seal deterioration will occur, causing
leakage between sections and damage to heating system
components. This can result in substantial property damage.
5. DO NOT use "homemade cures" or "boiler patent medicines".
Serious damage to boiler, personnel and/or property may
result.
6. Continual fresh makeup water will reduce boiler life. Mineral
buildup in sections reduces heat transfer, overheats cast iron,
and causes section failure. Addition of oxygen and other gases
can cause internal corrosion. Leaks in boiler or piping must
be repaired at once to prevent makeup water.
7. DO NOT add cold water to hot boiler. Thermal shock can
cause sections to crack.
Boiler operation
8. DO NOT block flow of combustion or ventilation air to boiler.
If vent or air blockage is easily accessible and removable,
remove it. If blockage is not obvious or cannot be removed,
have the boiler and system checked by a qualified service
technician.
9. Should overheating occur or oil supply fail to shut off, turn off
power to boiler
and
shut off the oil supply at a location external
to the appliance.
10. DO NOT use this boiler if any part has been under water.
Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the
boiler and to replace any part of the control system and any
burner control that has been under water.
11. Have the building monitored when it is vacant for an extended
period. Safety controls can shut down the boiler at any time.
The loss of heat can result in significant damage due to
freezing.
Service and maintenance
1. To avoid electric shock, disconnect electrical supply before
performing maintenance.
2. To avoid severe burns, allow boiler to cool before performing
maintenance.
3. You must maintain the boiler as outlined in the manual and
have the boiler started up and serviced at least annually by a
qualified service technician to ensure boiler/system reliability.
Air contamination
12. Carefully read and follow instructions on page 2.
