Rules For Safe Installation And Operation - Dunkirk D247 Installation Instructions Manual

RULES FOR SAFE INSTALLATION
AND OPERATION
1 . Read the Owner's Manual and the Rules for Safe
operation carefully. Failure to follow the rules for safe
operation and the instructions could cause a
malfunction of the boiler and result in death, serious
bodily injury, and/or property damage.
2. Check your local codes and utility requirements before
installation. The installation must be in accordance with
their directives.
.
.
Before servicing, allow boiler to cool and always shut
off any electricity and gas to boiler when working on it.
This will prevent any electrical shocks or burns.
Never test for leaks with an open flame. Use soap suds
to check alt connections. This will avoid any possibility
of fire or explosion.
Be certain boiler is equipped for type of gas (natural)
to be used. Overfiring wilt result in premature failure of
the boiler sections and cause dangerous operation.
Never vent this boiler into an enclosed space. Always
connect the boiler to a chimney and vent to the outside.
Never vent to another room or inside a building.
Be sure there is adequate air supply for complete
combustion.
8. Follow a regular service and maintenance schedule
for efficient and safe operation.
9. Never install the boiler on carpeting.
10. Keep boiler area clear and free from combustible
material such as gasoline and other flammable vapors
and liquids.
WHEN YOUR BOILER ARRIVES
When your boiler arrives be sure to save and refer to the
instructions.
First, inspect each item received for visible damage. If any
parts are damaged, report this to the freight company
immediately and request them to call and make an
inspection before you make any installation. Have the
inspector prepare a signed report. Send a copy of this report
to the manufacturer and we will send replacements for the
damaged parts. But we must have the signed inspection
report of the freight company to prove their liability.
Read these instructions carefully before beginning the
installation to be sure all packages have been received. It
is recommended that you follow the step-by-step
instructions for best assembly results. Before discarding
any packing material carefully examine for loose parts. Also
store all parts received where they wilt not be lost or
damaged.
CODES GOVERNING INSTALLATION
Boiler should be installed in accordance to the latest edition
of American National Standard National Fuel Gas Code
Z223.1 (Available from the American Gas Association, 8501
East Pleasant Valley Road, Cleveland, Ohio 44131).
Reference should also be made to local gas utility
regulations and other codes in effect in the area in which
the installation is to be made. The jurisdiction normally
covers electrical wiring, gas piping, flue specification, and
insulation of adjacent combustible material where required
clearance cannot be maintained.
Where required by the authority having jurisdiction, the
installation must conform to American Society of
Mechanical Engineers Safety Code for Controls and Safety
Devices for Automatically Fired Boilers, No. CSD-1.
INSTALLATION
This boiler is designed to provide wide capacity range with
multiple burner modules, each equipped with its own set of
controls. For purposes of orientation, the manifold side of
the boiler is considered the front. The end sections are so
designed that the controls may be placed on either the left
or right end. These instructions are written for the
assembling of the boiler starting with the left side and
working to the right side. If the boiler is to be used as a
steam boiler and connected to another steam boiler, the
factory designed water lines of the two boilers must be of
equal height above the floor.
A hot water boiler installed above radiation level must be
provided with a low water cutoff device either as a part of
the boiler or at the time of boiler installation.
The boiler and its individual shutoff valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system during
any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in
excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
The boiler must be isolated from the gas supply piping
system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during
any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at
test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa)
