Prepare boiler location

Flooring and foundation
Flooring
1. The boiler is approved for installation on combustible flooring,
but must never be installed on carpeting.
Do not install boiler on carpeting even if founda-
tion is used. Fire can result, causing severe personal
injury, death or substantial property damage.
Foundation
1. Provide a solid foundation pad, at least 2 inches above the
floor, if any of the following is true:
• floor can become flooded.
• the floor is dirt, sand, gravel or other loose material.
• the boiler mounting area is severely uneven or sloped.
2. The minimum foundation size is:
• Evergreen ®
: 24 inches wide x 24 inches deep
3. Foundation may be of wood, brick or concrete (minimum 2
inches thick) construction.
If flooding is possible, elevate boiler sufficiently to prevent water
from reaching boiler.
Remove boiler from crate
The boiler is heavy. Use caution not to drop the
boiler or cause bodily injury while lifting and han-
dling. Verify that the boiler is securely attached to
prevent possibility of boiler falling after installation.
Cold weather handling — If boiler has been stored in
a very cold location (below 0°F) before installation,
handle with care until the plastic components come
to room temperature.
1. The Evergreen ®
boiler is generally easier to handle and ma-
neuver after removing the shipping container.
2. Remove items 1, 2, 4, and 5 in Figure 3. Remove trim kit and
parts from item 6.
3. After removing outer shipping carton from boiler, REMOVE
jacket front door by opening door latches. Removing the door
will prevent possible damage to the door during handling.
4. Remove the additional trim kits from inside the boiler.
5. To remove boiler from pallet (after removing jacket front
door):
a. Remove the lag screws securing the shipping brackets.
b. Unscrew the two (2) rear boiler legs and remove the ship-
ping brackets and discard. The shipping brackets are NOT
to be used for wall mounting.
c. Discard the cardboard protector insert on the rear of the
boiler.
Do not drop boiler or bump jacket on floor or pallet.
Damage to boiler can result.
Placing floor-mounted boilers
1. Set boiler in place, plumb and level.
a. Adjust legs, if necessary to plumb and/or level boiler.

mount kit available from Weil-McLain.
