NOTE: Fuel tank installation must comply with National Fire Protection Association Code NFPA 31 or local- ly applicable codes. Check with local building officials. The following instructions should be followed for installation of a large capacity, gravity-fed fuel tank.
REMOVING AIR TRAP When operating for the first time or when refueling an empty tank, air may be trapped in the fuel line, mak- ing ignition difficult. In this situation, after removing the trapped air thoroughly from the fuel filter at the fuel tank outlet, follow the procedures below: Press "POWER SWITCH"...
WARNING: Plumbing should conform to proper plumbing methods, and in conformance with local codes or regulations. A licensed plumber familiar with local codes and ordinances should install the OM-180. CAUTION: An ANSI (AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD INSTITUTE) listed temperature and pressure relief valve should be installed at the hot water outlet connection of the heater at the time of installation.

Install heat insulation material on the hot water piping to prevent heat loss. In closed systems we recommend the use of an antifreege solution to prevent freezing and corrosion. Check with the plumbing installer for the proper mix. Copper or stainless steel or cross-linked polyethylene pipe should be used for the main and branch pipes. Be sure to connect a hot water pipe with the Expansion Tank, and install at the inlet side of the Circulation Pump.

PERMANENT WIRING INSTALLATION WARNING: TO AVOID ANY RISK OF FIRE AND ELECTRIC SHOCK. Make sure the main circuit breaker and power supply cord is disconnected before servicing. Electric shock may cause serious injury. It is recommended that installation should be conducted by a Licensed Electrician. PROCEDURE FOR PERMANENT WIRING POWER SOURCE: 120V AC, 60Hz single phase Turn off the main circuit breaker.
DIFFERENTIAL SWITCH AND DIP SWITCH NOTE: Make sure that the power supply cord is disconnected when changing the position of DIP Switch is selected. The differential switch on the main circuit board controls does not change the heat exchanger water temper- ature.
Connect to the circulation pump using the attached coupler. See the wiring diagram below for wiring to the circuit board. How to use the coupler Make 3/16 in. (4-5mm) space.

INSTALLATION OF THE UNIT AND FLUE PIPE SAFETY TIPS WARNING: The flue pipe opening must be fully exposed to outside air. Do not vent into a garage, basement, under the floor, or into any enclosed area. Do not install the flue pipe in close proximity to other objects or materials. Before making a hole in your wall for the flue pipe, make sure the area is free of electrical wires, gas pipes and other obstacles.

Slide the insulating cloth cover over the flexible exhaust pipe and the flexible bent joint. Insulating cloth cover NOTE: When disconnecting the extension pipe (such as flexible pipe and flexible bent joint), turn clockwise and pull apart. Remove the screw from the exhaust opening of the unit. Insert the flexible exhaust pipe to the exhaust opening and secure them with the screw.
In case another appliance is connected to the same chimney flue (2 or more units), it may be necessary to comply with state and local codes. Connecting the OM-180 hot water heater with two or more appliances using the same chimney flue may affect the performance of the hot water heater.
