Gas-Fired Boiler
Fire and explosion hazards! Do not store or use
gasoline or other flammable vapors or liquids in
the vicinity of this or any other gas fired appliance.
Burn hazard! Possible hot surfaces. Do not touch
gas vent during firing operation. Use only factory
recommended vent components.
Burn hazard! Hot fluids. Use caution when ser-
vicing or draining boiler.
Fire and explosion hazards! Use caution when
servicing burner. Propane (LPG) is heavier than
air and may linger in the combustion chamber,
vent lines, or elsewhere.
Gas leak hazard! Make sure all connections to
main burner are tight when reassembling the
burner. These connections cannot be tested after
the burner is assembled.
Gas leak hazard! All threaded gas connections
must be made using a pipe compound that is resis-
tant to liquefied petroleum. Do not use Teflon
tape on threaded gas piping.
Gas leak hazard! Check entire gas train for leaks
after installation. If there is a smell of gas, shut
down the boiler and obtain immediate assistance
from trained service personnel and/or your local
fire department.
Overfire hazard! Possible fire and explosion from
excess gas pressure. Make sure that gas inlet pres-
sure does not exceed 14 inches W.C. to the regula-
tor.
Overfire hazard! Possible fire and explosion.
Possible malfunction of regulators and/or motor-
ized gas valves. Maintain all gas train components
in good condition. Do not alter wiring connec-
tions. Annual inspection by factory-trained per-
sonnel for proper set-up and operation is recom-
mended.
Overfire and underfire hazards! Possible fire, ex-
plosion, overheating, and component failure. Do
not attempt to adjust firing rate of the boiler. The
firing rate must be adjusted only by factory trained
personnel.

2.5.3 Crush Hazards

Lifting hazards! Use properly rated lifting equip-
ment to lift and position the boiler. The load is
unbalanced. Test balance before lifting 3 ft. above
the floor. Do not allow personnel beneath the
lifted load. Refer to approximate weights in the
table below:
Boiler Size
700,000 Btu
1,000,000 Btu
1,200,000 Btu
1,500,000 Btu
1,700,000 Btu
2,000,000 Btu
Bump hazard from overhead piping. Install piping
with adequate vertical clearance.

2.5.4 Chemical Hazards

Environmental hazard! The motorized gas valves
may contain hydraulic oil. Use safe procedures
for the disposal of all lubricants.
Chemical hazards from cleaning products. Use
caution when cleaning the system. The use of pro-
fessional assistance is recommended. Use safe
procedures for the disposal of all cleaning solu-
tions.
