openings in the door. Each opening should have a free area of not less than 1 square inch per 1,000 BTU (140 square inch per US GPH) of the total input for all appliances in the enclosure. One opening located, near top of enclosure and one near the bottom. BASEMENT Where a boiler is installed in a full basement, infiltration is normally adequate to provide air for combustion.
BURNER AND CONTROLS Honeywell L6081A Aquastat Controller This control is installed on the middle fitting of the domestic coil. These immersion type controls are used with forced hydronic heating systems, which include domestic water service. This model provides high limits, low limits for maintaining minimum boiler water temperature and circulator controls.
PRIMARY CONTROL 0II350S SEQUENCE OF OPERATION The Traeger 0II350S primary control is a high-tech, state of the art computer. The control performs the function of piloting the system when the 3A 250V thermostat does not call for heat. It conserves fuel consumption.
FUNCTIONING OF SAFETY AND OPERATING CONTROLS The safety and operating controls shall function within the limits specified by the manufacturer for the type of equipment. The following tests shall be performed: (a) Check the operation of the automatic fuel feeding interrupt device at each entrance to the floor space within which the fuel-feeding device is installed.

VENTING Chimney required for the PB150 is 4” Class “L” (also known as PL vent). A starting collar must be used to attach the venting system to the furnace. When connecting into a Class “A” or masonry chimney a listed 4” liner MUST be used to prevent back drafting of the chimney. EXISTING CLASS “A”...
VENTING GENERAL- A PELLET/CORN FIRED UNIT SHALL BE CONNECTED TO A FLUE HAVING SUFFICIENT DRAFT AT ALL TIMES TO ASSURE PROPER OPERATION. 1. Only a trained experienced serviceman should attempt the installation or service of any boiler and or venting device. All venting installations must comply with the recommendations of the venting manufacturer and with all state and local codes.
WARNING ABOUT CHIMNEY FIRES Failing to maintain your woodstove or fireplace properly can lead to a chimney fire. Chimney fires occur when combustible deposits on the inner walls of the chimney ignite. These combustible deposits, called "creosote," are a natural by-product of wood burning. A fire hazard exists if ¼” of creosote (or more) coats the inner walls of the chimney.

DOMESTIC WATER COIL CONNECTION When installing the domestic water coil connection an ASME certified pressure / temperature relief valve must be installed. Install pressure temperature relief valve in the hot water supply side exiting the domestic water coil, see figure 5. Drain valve piping should be piped to a safe area for discharge.
WIRING INFORMATION All internal electrical wiring is completed at the factory. All external wiring must conform to the National Electric Code and any local codes. Line voltage leads utilize wire nut connections. A surge suppressor should be installed to protect control board. Surge suppressors are available now that mount to your breaker box providing protection to your whole house.

BURNING CORN IN THE PB150 1. The PB150 will burn most types of clean-shelled corn. It is not necessary to mix the corn with wood pellets, although some people have had good success burning a 50/50 mix. The PB150 boiler is supplied with a plug in the metering cup.
START UP INSTRUCTIONS 1. Make sure service switch to boiler is off. 2. Make sure boiler has been filled with water until entire system has been purged and desired pressure is obtained. 3. Check all fittings for leaks. 4. The PB150 boiler is supplied with a plug in the metering cup. If burning wood pellet only, this plug can be removed to increase firing rate.
FUEL QUALITY Pellet quality is very important, please read the following: Your PB150 boiler has been designed to burn wood pellet or shelled corn. Do not use any other type of fuel, as this will void any warranties stated in this manual.

CONFIRM CUP AND AUGER MOTOR OPERATION Place a jumper wire between the leads to the safety disc located on the exhaust flange. Set the main power switch to “feed system”. Both the cup and auger motor should start now. If the motors run but the fuel metering cup and/or auger do not turn, check the cast iron couplers to make certain that the set screw is tight or that a coupler has not snapped off.
