UNPACKING

The is delivered assembled and protected by a
plastic bag inside a strong cardboard box and fixed on a
pallet. This allows the boiler to be handled by a forklift. The
boiler with the packaging can go through a door 800mm wide,
whereas, without packaging, it can go through a door 700mm
wide.
To unpack the boiler:
- Carefully remove the straps, then lift off the cardboard box.
- Remove the protective plastic bag.
- Safely dispose all packing materials. The plastic bag must
be kept away from children.
- Remove the strap securing the front and left hand panels,
and place in a safe place.
- Remove the screw securing the top panel to the back
panel. Remove remaining panels and place in a safe
place.
- Remove the flue manifold.
- Lift out all the loose contents as listed and leave in a safe
place.
- Remove the bolts securing the boiler legs to the pallet
before lifting the boiler off the pallet taking due care with
respect to its weight. When lifting the boiler the weight
must be supported by the boiler frame and not the sump.

SYSTEM CONNECTIONS ORIENTATION

Note.
It may be necessary to fit the casing panels through which the
service connections will pass before making these
connections. However, in general it is advisable to leave the
panels off as long as possible to prevent the chance of
damage occurring. See Frame 12.
As delivered the boiler comes with water, gas and flue
connections all on the right side. It is possible to change their
orientations before fitting the boiler as follows.

Flue/Air Connections

It is possible to combine flue and air connections at any of the
positions of left, right and rear. To change connections, simply
remove the blanking plates from the connection required and
attach the flue/air connections. Seal off the unused
connections with the removed blanking plates.
Note.
To enable cleaning of the heat exchanger, access is required
to lower a baffle secured to the bottom of the heat exchanger.
As factory fitted, access to the securing screw is through the
R/H flue manifold connection. This can be reversed to give
access through the L/H flue manifold connection. See
Servicing section for details.

Water Connections

To maintain hydraulic balancing it is important that if changing
to left hand connections, that both are changed. The
procedure is as follows:
- Remove all casing panels.
- Remove the global flow and return NTC temperature
sensors from the manifolds.
- Remove the auto air vent and pressure gauge connection
from the flow manifold.
- Remove the drain tap and blanking plug from the return
manifold.

- Rotate the return manifold through 180º and re-attach in
place of the original flow manifold. Fit the auto air vent and
pressure gauge connections to it. Fit the global flow NTC
temperature sensor to the top edge fixing nearest the outlet
connection.
- Rotate the flow manifold through 180º and re-attach in place
of original return manifold. Fit the drain tap and blanking
plug to it. Fit the global return NTC temperature sensor to
the top edge fixing nearest the inlet connection.
- When commissioning the appliance special care should be
taken to ensure water soundness around all the
connections that have been remade.
Gas Connection
The gas connection can be made on either the right or left
hand. To reverse the connection use the following procedure:
- Remove the side panels.
- Disconnect all gas valve inlet elbows from the manifold,
retaining the sealing washers.
- Disconnect the leads from the gas pressure switch.
- Remove the fasteners securing the gas manifold and rotate
through 180º before re-securing.
- Re-connect the leads to the gas pressure switch.
- Re-connect the gas valve inlet elbows to the manifold using
new sealing washers if any show signs of damage.
- Gas soundness test all the connections.
Note.
When reversing the gas manifold on the
necessary to move the blanking plug from the first hole to the
third hole.
