WARNING
!
This product contains fiberglass wool insulation!
Fiberglass dust and ceramic fibers are believed by the

Glasswool fibers may also cause respiratory, skin, or
eye irritation.
PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES
●
Avoid breathing fiberglass dust.
●
Use a NIOSH approved dust/mist respirator.
● Avoid contact with the skin or eyes. Wear long-sleeved,
loose-fitting clothing, gloves, and eye protection.
●
Wash clothes separately from other clothing: rinse
washer thoroughly.
●
Operations such as sawing, blowing, tear-out, and
spraying may generate fiber concentrations requiring
additional respiratory protection. Use the appropriate
NIOSH approved respirator in these situations.

1.2 CAUTIONS

CAUTION
!
Do NOT install the boiler in a corrosive or contamina-
ted atmosphere.
The following notes must be followed during the instal-
lation, servicing, and operation of this boiler:
1. NOTE: This device must only be used for the
purpose for which it is specially designed. This unit is
designed to heat water to a temperature below boiling
point at atmospheric pressure and must be connected
to a hydronic heating system and/or a water supply
system for domestic use, compatible with its perfor-
mance, characteristics and its heating capacity. Any
other use is considered improper.
2. NOTE: These instructions do not cover all varia-
tions in systems or provide for every possible con-
tingency. Should further information be desired or
particular problems arise which are not covered suffi -
ciently by this manual, contact your local distributor
for assistance.
3. NOTE: Use only with the type of gas approved for
this boiler. Refer to the boiler rating plate.
4. NOTE: Install this boiler only in a location and
position as specifi ed in "Locations and Clearances."
5. NOTE: Provide adequate combustion and venti-
lation air to the boiler space as specifi ed in "Air for
Combustion and Ventilation."
6. NOTE: Combustion products must be discharged
outdoors. Connect this boiler to an approved vent
system only as specifi ed in the "Venting" section of this
guide.
7. NOTE: Never test for gas leaks with an open
fl ame. Use a commercially available soap solution
made specifi cally for the detection of leaks to check all
connections, as specifi ed in "Gas Piping."
8. NOTE: Always install the boiler to operate within
the boiler's intended operating temperature range.
9. NOTE: The boiler is not to be used for temporary
heating of buildings or structures under construction.
10.NOTE: Wear appropriate gloves, arm sleeve pro-
tectors, and eye equipment when servicing or maintai-
ning this equipment.
11.NOTE: Verify system is leak free at startup.
During routine boiler maintenance check integrity of
system to be sure there are no leaks. A leak will result
in a continuous fl ow of make up water leading to pre-
mature heat exchanger failure. Minerals will build up
inside heat exchanger sections reducing performance
and cause section failure. The additional oxygen
added to the system from make up water speeds cor-
rosion inside the heat exchanger. Maintenance and
cleaning must be performed at least once every year.
NOTE: This product must be gas piped by a
licensed Plumber or Gas Fitter in the Com-
monwealth of Massachusetts.
