READ ALL OF THE FOLLOWING WARNINGS AND
STATEMENTS BEFORE READING THE
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM (L.P.)
PROPANE GAS-FIRED BOILERS
Installation location ONLY as permitted in paragraph entitled
"LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM (L.P.) PROPANE GAS-FIRED
BOILER LOCATION" on page 3 of this instruction book.
The above warning does not apply to NATURAL gas-fired boilers.
The installation must conform to the requirements of the authori-
ty having jurisdiction or, in the absence of such requirements, to
the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1-latest edition. The
installation must also conform to the additional requirements in
this Slant/Fin Instruction Book.
In addition, where required by the authority having jurisdiction,
the installation must conform to American Society of Mechanical
Engineers Safety Code for Controls and Safety Devices for
Automatically Fired Boilers, No. CSD-1.
This manual must be left with owner and should be hung on or
adjacent to the boiler for reference.
WARNING
This boiler, gas piping and accessories must be installed, con-
nected, serviced and repaired by a trained, experienced service
technician, familiar with all precautions required for gas-fired
equipment and licensed or otherwise qualified, in compliance
with the authority having jurisdiction.
