Part 1 - General Safety Information

21
28
This boiler is approved for indoor installations only and is not intended
29
for use as a pool heater. Clearance to combustible materials: 0" top,
29
bottom, sides, and back. Boiler must have room for service: 24" front,
30
18" top, 12" bottom, and 0" back are minimum recommended service
30
clearances. Minimum recommended side clearances depend on
31
model and installation options. (A combustible door or removable
32
panel is acceptable front clearance. A 3" minimum clearance must
32
be provided from the boiler front cover to the removable panel or
32
combustible door.) This boiler has been approved for closet installation
33
and installation on combustible flooring. Do not install directly on
33
carpeting. Install the boiler in a location where relief valve discharge
36
or a leak will not result in damage to the surrounding area. If such a
location is not available, install an auxiliary catch pan. The appliance
37
is rated Category IV (pressurized vent, likely to form condensate in
38
the vent) and requires a special vent system designed for pressurized
39
venting. Use only Category IV vent systems.

FAILURE TO ADHERE TO THE GUIDELINES ON THIS PAGE
45
CAN RESULT IN SUBSTANTIAL PROPERTY DAMAGE, SEVERE
45
PERSONAL INJURY, OR DEATH.
46
NOTE: Obey all local codes. Obtain all applicable permits before
46
46
installing the boiler.
47
NOTE: Install all system components and piping in such a manner
47
that does not reduce the performance of any fire rated assembly.

A. Operation and Installation Warnings
To avoid serious injury or death, read, understand, and follow all of the
47
48
precautions listed here.
49
!
50
51
Vapors from flammable liquids will explode and can cause a fire,
52
resulting in personal injury or death. The boiler has a burner that
52
can come on at any time and ignite vapors. DO NOT use or store
55
flammable liquids around the boiler.
55
Improper venting can cause a build-up of carbon monoxide.
Breathing carbon monoxide can result in brain damage or death. DO
55
NOT operate the boiler unless it is properly vented to the outside
55
56
and has an adequate fresh air supply for safe operation. Inspect the
58
exterior exhaust gas outlet port and fresh air inlet port on a regular
58
basis to ensure they are functioning properly.
58
A concentration of carbon monoxide as small as .04% (400 parts
59
per million) in the air can be fatal. When making high fire or low
59
fire adjustments, CO levels must be monitored using a calibrated
59
combustion analyzer such that a CO level of no more than 150 ppm
60
is exceeded at any time during operation.
60
Adjusting the "low fire offset" or the "main flow restrictor" in small
60
increments can result in a significant increase in CO concentration.
61
To avoid serious injury or death, DO NOT make any adjustments
62
to the gas valve without monitoring the exhaust gases with a fully
functional and calibrated combustion analyzer.
67
Failure to follow these instructions will result in property damage,
79
81
severe personal injury, or death.
85
WARNING
!
After installation, all boiler safety devices should be tested.
