INSTALLATION & OPERATION CHECKLIST
Installation Checklist
1. Locate the boiler in accordance with Section 3.0 of this manual.
2. Install the exhaust venting in accordance with Section 4.0 of this manual. Ensure all joints are secured
properly.
3. Install the controls and wiring in accordance with Section 5.0 of this manual. Choose the controls and
wiring arrangement to match the type of installation, i.e., Add-on or Stand-alone. Set controllers as
instruction in Section 5.0.
4. Connect Damper Motor to Air Dampers in accordance with Section 6.0 of this manual. Make sure the Air
Dampers are in the closed position when the Damper Motor is not powered
5. Install the plumbing in accordance with Section 5.0 of this manual; flush/cleanse the internals of the heating
system. Treat system water with Fernox F1 Protector when needed. Repair any water leaks and ensure
boiler system is purged of air. Be sure to install an appropriate Dump Zone with the normally open zone
valve.
6. Light a fire in the combustion chamber (see Operational Checklist below) to bring the boiler up to
temperature – this will take several minutes. Test the Control Sequence in accordance with Section 5.0.
7. Advise homeowner / operator of the WF200, of their responsibilities with respect to operating and
maintaining the boiler.

Operation Checklist (for the homeowner / operator)
1. Ensure system is free of water leaks and pressure is maintained above 12 psi.
2. Inspect flue pipe – see "Smoke Pipe Inspection" below.
3. Maintain a minimum clearance of 5 ft. between the wood boiler and a woodpile; the space around the
boiler should be kept clean and free of litter and wood residues. Stored wood should not obstruct access
to the boiler in any way.
4. Insure that all seals on boiler are air tight to prevent over heating of boiler when combustion air damper is
shut. For safety keep fire door tightly closed, other than for adding wood.
5. Damper should be opened for 6 seconds before opening fire door. Always open door slowly, this will cut
down the possibility of creating suction and drawing smoke from combustion chamber.
6. Burn wood only – never use gasoline, oil or other liquids in fire. Never burn rubber tires or creosote
railway ties.
7. Dry wood is recommended for safety and efficiency. Green or wet wood gives kiss heat and more smoke
and creosote – check daily for creosote buildup.
8. Do not load wood above the water baffle.
9. Do not adjust draft higher than 0.5 in. H
10. Never mechanically force air into the combustion chamber – the WF200 is suitable for natural draft only
– boiler is not suitable for Stoker firing.
11. Remove ash before height reaches 4 in.; remove only when fire is completely out by using a shovel and
placing ash in a steel container with a tightly fitting lid and move to the outdoors – DO NOT PLACE
OTHER WASTE IN THIS CONTAINER.
12. .
DO NOT USE CHEMICAL OR FLUIDS TO START THE FIRE.
DO NOT BURN GARBAGE, GASOLINE, NAPHTHA, ENGINE OIL, OR OTHER
INAPPROPRIATE MATERIALS.
Flue Draft – exceeding the maximum flue draft of 0.5 in.
to burn out of control causing overheating and potential fire hazard.
Smoke Pipe Inspection – The smoke pipe should be inspected on a regular basis during the heating season;
whenever possible the smoke pipe should be dismantled and cleaned out. Carefully examine the smoke pipe
for defects such as corrosion, seams coming apart, etc. If any defects are noticed the pipe should be replaced
(22-gauge galvanized stovepipe is recommended).
