A. This boiler is equipped with a pilot which must be lighted by hand. When lighting the
pilot, follow these instructions exactly. The gas supply to this pilot is controlled by Pilot
switch box. This boiler is also equipped with an ignition device which automatically lights a
second pilot. The gas supply to this pilot is controlled by the Gas control. Do not try to
light this pilot by hand.
