WARNING
The vent line connection on the
gas pressure regulator must be
piped to outdoor air by the installer
in accordance with the National
Fuel Gas Code, American National
Standards Institute (ANSI) Z2231991
or latest addenda. In Canada, gas
installations must be in accordance
with the current CAN/Compressed
Gas Association (CGA) B149.1 and 2
and/or local codes.
Hot surfaces (over 120 F [49 C])
should be insulated or shielded for
safety. See Installation section.
Use only your hand to turn valve
handles. Never use tools. If the
handle will not turn by hand, don't
try to repair. Forced or attempted
repair may result in fire or explosion.
Should overheating occur or the gas
supply fails to shut off, manually
shut off the gas supply external to
the equipment.
For reasons of safety, the hot
exhaust gas duct and chimney must
be insulated or shielded within the
locality of the heater in compliance
with local codes and regulations.
Check daily that the boiler area is
free and clear of any combustible
materials, including flammable
vapors and liquids.
Do not use matches, candles, flame
or other sources of ignition to check
for gas leaks.
These instructions must not be
considered as a complete code of
practice nor should they replace
existing codes or standards which
may be applicable.

or less (the panel box interior
should not exceed 125°F [52°C]*).
*Pumps, Programmable Logic
Controllers (PLC) or ModSync
panels may require lower ambient
temperatures or additional
cooling.
