WARNING
This boiler contains very hot water under high pressure. Do not unscrew any pipe fittings nor attempt
to disconnect any components of this boiler without positively assuring the water is cool and has no
pressure. Always wear protective clothing and equipment when installing, starting up or servicing this
boiler to prevent scald injuries. Do not rely on the pressure and temperature gauges to determine the
temperature and pressure of the boiler. This boiler contains components which become very hot when
the boiler is operating. Do not touch any components unless they are cool.
This appliance must be properly vented and connected to an approved vent system in good condition.
Serious property damage could result if the boiler is connected to an approved vent system.
This boiler needs fresh air for safe operation and must be installed so there are provisions for adequate
combustion and ventilation air.
The interior of the venting and air intake systems must be inspected and cleaned before the start of the
heating season and should be inspected periodically throughout the heating season for any obstructions.
Clean and unobstructed venting and air intake systems are necessary to allow noxious fumes that could
cause injury or loss of life to vent safely and will contribute toward maintaining the boiler's efficiency.
This boiler is supplied with controls which may cause the boiler to shut down and not re-start without
service. If damage due to frozen pipes is a possibility, the heating system should not be left unattended in
cold weather; or appropriate safeguards and alarms should be installed on the heating system to prevent
damage if the boiler is inoperative.
Do not operate boiler on combustible floor without a factory supplied floor shield. Concrete over wood joists
is considered combustible flooring. Do not operate on masonry floors, which may contain moisture.
