Raypak recommends that this manual be reviewed thoroughly before installing your Raypak boiler. If there are any questions which this manual does not answer, please contact the factory or your local Raypak repre- sentative. Claims for shortages and damages must be filed with carrier by consignee.
The boiler can be installed on a combustible surface only when a suitable floor shield base is pro- vided. Raypak offers an optional floor shield base which can be factory installed on all indoor models except Model 133; the Model 133 floor shield base is shipped loose and must be installed by the contractor.
In areas where high winds are frequent, it may be nec- essary to locate the boiler a minimum of 3' from high vertical walls, or install a wind break so the boiler is not in direct wind current. Combustion and Ventilation Air...
CAUTION: Combustion contaminated by corrosive chemical fumes which can damage the boiler and void the warranty. a. All Air From Inside The Building: Each opening shall have a minimum net free square inches as noted in Table E. Model Sq. Inches...
2. Turn heater manual switch located in upper control panel to the "OFF" position. 3. Shut-off gas supply and water supply to the boiler. 4. Mount drafthood on boiler and attach with the sheet metal screws provided. Drafthood should be positioned with the vent sensor located on the front left side (see next page).

"OFF" position. 3. Shut-off gas supply and water supply to the boiler. 4. Mount drafthood on top of boiler as shown in Fig. 12. Drafthood should be positioned with the vent sensor located on the front right side as shown.
The weight of the vent stack or chimney must not rest on boiler drafthood. Support must be provided in com- pliance with applicable codes. The boiler top and drafthood must be readily removable for maintenance and inspection.

Fig. 17: Vent Damper Installation (Model 133 Drafthood Shown) WARNING: Do not use thermally actuated vent dampers on a modulating boiler. To do so may result in asphyxiation. Use only a mechanically actuated vent damper device that is electrically interlocked with the modulating boiler operation.
Check vent damper operation as follows: 1. When the boiler is off, check that the vent damper position indicator points to the closed position. (See figure below.) 2.

Reverse return piping is a proper method of manifolding multiple boiler hook-ups to ensure balanced flow through each boiler. Valves on supply and return are needed to isolate any boiler, as required. Fig. 25: Multiple-Boiler– Reverse Return Hook-Up—Models 133–4001...
The Economaster II is an electronic device that allows the operator to set the desired time for the pump to run after the boiler shuts off. The time is factory-set at 7 minutes and it can be re-adjusted in the field anywhere from 3 to 10 minutes.

The actuator runs on 120V power, and takes 26 seconds to go from fully closed to fully open. Raypak offers a single-boiler digital controller which drives the actuator; see controller options B-40 and B-41 (includes outdoor reset). For systems with mul- tiple boilers, see controller options B-45 through B-47.
5-10°F below the Manual High Limit setting. Flow Switch This dual purpose control shuts off the boiler in the case of a pump failure or low water condition. It is mounted and wired in series to the main gas valve.
This boiler is normally wired for 120 Volts. The voltage is indicated on the tie-in leads. Consult the wiring dia- gram shipped with the boiler in the instruction packet.

If the pilot will not stay lit after several tries, turn the gas control knob to “OFF” and call your service technician or gas supplier. 10. Stand to the side of the boiler and turn the gas control knob counter-clockwise 11 Replace boiler door panel.
Turn off all electrical power to the appliance. This appliance is equipped with an ignition device which automatically lights the pilot. Do not try to light the pilot by hand. Remove boiler door panel. For Robertshaw gas valve: Turn gas control knob clockwise to “OFF”.
For Models with Automatic Gas Valves Lighting Instructions 1. Close all gas valves. Turn off electrical power sup- ply. Wait five (5) minutes. 2. Open manual pilot valve. Turn on electrical power. Pilot is automatically lighted. PILOT VALVE CONTROL SHOWN IN THE "ON"...
Burner should light. Suggested Inspection Schedule The boiler should be inspected on the first and third months after initial start-up and then on an annual basis. If problems are found, refer to Troubleshooting Guide for additional directions.
Start-Up (S8600H) 1. Turn on power to the boiler with gas supply off. 2. Check ignition module as follows: a. Set the thermostat or controller to call for heat. b. Watch for continuous spark at the pilot burner.
Flame Roll-Out Safety Switch The boiler is equipped with a cut-off device to prevent flame roll-out in the event the heat exchanger becomes blocked. This is a "manual reset" type roll- out switch, that must be reset by a service technician after any over temperature conditions have been fixed.
7. Using an Allen wrench, turn the screw clockwise to increase or counterclockwise to decrease high fire manifold pressure –see Fig. 47. 8. Install the spring, weight and aluminum cap –tight- en the cap using same # of turns as was used in removing the cap.
