• Consider
determining boiler location.
• Any
must be filed immediately against the transporta-
tion company by the consignee.
When servicing boiler —
• To avoid electric shock, disconnect electrical
supply before performing maintenance.
• To avoid severe burns, allow boiler to cool before
performing maintenance.
Boiler operation —
• Do not block flow of combustion or ventilation
air to boiler.
• Should overheating occur or gas supply fail to
shut off, do not turn off or disconnect electrical
supply to circulator. Instead, shut off the gas
supply at a location external to the appliance.
• Do not use this boiler if any part has been under
water. Immediately call a qualified service
technician to inspect the boiler and to replace any
part of the control system and any gas control
that has been under water.
• Airborne materials, such as fiberglass and dust,
are present during construction and remodeling.
These materials can be drawn in with the
combustion air and obstruct burner ports,
resulting in carbon monoxide production, a fire
hazard, or building freeze damage. During
construction or remodeling, check burner ports
weekly and also at the conclusion of construction
clean up.
Boiler water —
• Do not use petroleum-based cleaning or sealing
compounds in boiler system. Water seal

deterioration will occur, causing leakage between
sections. This can result in substantial property
damage.
• Do not use "homemade cures" or "boiler patent
medicines". Serious damage to boiler, personnel
and/or property may result.
• Continual fresh makeup water will reduce boiler
life. Mineral buildup in sections reduces heat
transfer, overheats cast iron, and causes section
failure. Addition of oxygen and other gases can
cause internal corrosion. Leaks in boiler or piping
must be repaired at once to prevent makeup water.
• Do not add cold water to hot boiler. Thermal
shock can cause sections to crack.
Glycol — potential fire hazard —
All glycol is flammable when exposed to high
temperatures. If glycol is allowed to accumulate in
or around the boiler or any other potential ignition
source, a fire can develop. In order to prevent
potential severe personal injury, death or substantial
property damage from fire and/or structural damage:
• Never store glycol of any kind near the boiler or
any potential ignition source.
• Monitor and inspect the system and boiler
regularly for leakage. Repair any leaks
immediately to prevent possible accumulation
of glycol.
• Never use automotive antifreeze or ethylene glycol
in the system. Using these glycols can lead to
hazardous leakage of glycol in the boiler system.
