NOTE: If heater is installed outside of the limits
shown, a flow switch must be used in place of the
pressure switch when mounted and wired adjacent
to the heater.

Two-Speed Pumps

In some cases, the flow on the low speed is insufficient
to operate the heater. This is apparent when the pres-
sure switch cannot be further adjusted or if the heater
makes banging noises. In these cases, the pump must
be run at high speed when heating the water.
CAUTION: Do not operate a UG-equipped heater
without properly-adjusted pressure switch.

Pilot Safety

The heater employs a pilot safety which closes the
main gas valve within 8/10ths of a second whenever
the pilot flame is interrupted. Pilot flame is automatical-
ly lit when the device is powered. Unit performs its own
safety check and opens the main valve only after the
pilot is proven to be lit.

START-UP

PROCEDURES

Burners
Clean main burners and air louvers of dust, lint and
