A. Before Operating the Boiler
1. Check the Gas Type
When operating the boiler for the first time, ensure the connected
gas type matches the boiler gas type. NTI boilers are factory set
to operate on Natural Gas. BEFORE OPERATING WITH PROPANE
the boiler must be converted to Propane operation by a qualified
service technician, using the conversion kit specific to the boiler
model.
DANGER
Attempting to operate this boiler on Propane when it has not been
correctly converted to Propane operation will result in improper
boiler operation resulting in property damage, personal injury, or
death.
2. Check the Power (120V / 60 Hz)
Ensure the boiler is connected to a properly rated power supply.
WARNING
Failure to connect the boiler to the properly rated power supply
described above (120V / 60Hz) could result in property damage,
personal injury, or death.
3. Check the Automatic Feed Valve
Ensure the automatic feed valve to the boiler is providing the
proper pressure to the central heating (CH) loop.
4. Check the Gas Shut-Off Valve
Ensure the manual gas shut-off valve is open. The boiler will not
operate unless it is supplied with gas.
WARNING
It is the user's responsibility to know the location of the gas shut-off
valve and how to operate it. Immediately close the gas shut-off valve
if the boiler is subjected to fire, overheating, flood, physical damage,
or any other damaging condition that might affect the operation of
the unit. Have the boiler checked by a qualified technician before
resuming operation.
Call a qualified service technician if repair of the gas pipeline or
replacement of the gas regulator is necessary.
5. Check the area around the boiler.
Remove any combustible or flammable materials from the area
around the boiler and do not hang anything from the exhaust
vent pipe.
WARNING
DO NOT store flammable or combustible materials near this boiler.
DO NOT use spray paint, hair spray, or any other flammable sprays
near the boiler or near the exterior fresh air intake pipe termination.
DO NOT place any items in or around the exterior exhaust vent
termination and/or fresh air intake pipe that could restrict or block
the flow in or out of the vent system.
Exhaust gas entering the living space can cause carbon monoxide
poisoning. If exhaust gas should leak into the living space:
• Shut down the boiler.
• Close the gas valve.
• Open windows for ventilation.
Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the boiler
and exhaust vent pipe. Any damages to the exhaust vent pipe should
be repaired immediately.
