Hazard definitions
Hazards that will cause severe personal injury,
death or substantial property damage.
Hazards that can cause severe personal injury,
death or substantial property damage.
Hazards that will or can cause minor personal in-
jury or property damage.
Special instructions on installation, operation or
maintenance that are important but not related to
personal injury or property damage.
Failure to adhere to the guidelines on this page can result in severe
personal injury, death or substantial property damage.
At the beginning of each heating season, contact your qualified service technician to inspect, clean and start-up the
boiler per the Boiler Manual. Failure to comply could result in boiler failure, leading to potential severe personal injury,
death or substantial property damage.
Service and maintenance
1. To avoid electric shock, disconnect electrical supply before
performing maintenance.
2. To avoid severe burns, allow boiler to cool before performing
maintenance.
3. You must maintain the boiler as outlined in the manual and
have the boiler started up and serviced at least annually by a
qualified service technician to ensure boiler/system reliability.
Boiler water
4. DO NOT use petroleum-based cleaning or sealing compounds
in boiler system. Water seal deterioration will occur, causing
leakage between sections and damage to heating system
components. This can result in substantial property damage.
5. DO NOT use "homemade cures" or "boiler patent medicines".
Serious damage to boiler, personnel and/or property may
result.
6. Continual fresh makeup water will reduce boiler life. Mineral
buildup in sections reduces heat transfer, overheats cast iron,
and causes section failure. Addition of oxygen and other gases
can cause internal corrosion. Leaks in boiler or piping must
be repaired at once to prevent makeup water.
7. DO NOT add cold water to hot boiler. Thermal shock can
cause sections to crack.
Oil-Fired Steam Boilers
The User's Information Manual provides information to the boiler

Boiler Manual is intended only for use by a qualified installer/
service technician.
INSTALLER — Please take time to review this
User's Information Manual with the boiler owner.

Boiler operation
8. DO NOT block flow of combustion or ventilation air to boiler.
If vent or air blockage is easily accessible and removable,
remove it. If blockage is not obvious or cannot be removed,
have the boiler and system checked by a qualified service
technician.
9. Should overheating occur or oil supply fail to shut off, turn off
power to boiler and shut off the oil supply at a location external
to the appliance.
10. DO NOT use this boiler if any part has been under water.
Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the
boiler and to replace any part of the control system and any
burner control that has been under water.
11. Have the building monitored when it is vacant for an extended
period. Safety controls can shut down the boiler at any time.
The loss of heat can result in significant damage due to
freezing.
Air contamination
