I. SAFETY INFORMATION
Page
IF YOU DO NOT FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY, A FIRE OR EXPLOSION MAY RESULT CAUSING PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY, OR LOSS OF LIFE
Waterproof type connectors must be used when connecting electrical power and control wiring to the unit to prevent moisture from being drawn into the unit during operation
For initial start-upof the appliance after installation, it may be necessary to purge the air out of the oil line. A qualified heating contractor should do this
1.This appliance shall be used with only the type of fuel oil for which it is approved. Refer to the appliance-ratinglabel for the required type of fuel
III.GENERAL INSTALLATION
II. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
A. Codes and Clearances
a.Combustible material
b.Non-combustiblematerial
B.Selection of Installation Location
The unit is manufactured with runner supports that raise the unit, about 1.25 inches above the mounting base, allowing air circulation beneath the metal surfaces. This clearance helps to promote air circulation under the base that allows the unit to be mounted on combustible materials. This clearance also helps to reduce metal corrosion caused by a buildup of moisture under the appliance

H. Airflow Requirements and Sizing of Duct Work
6.The following method can be used to size ductwork when air velocities are low to moderate
h.The resistance of the take-offand the outlet register or return grill should then be summed together to determine the total pressure drop for each branch. This value should be close to the assumed value for the pressure drop of the system. If it is not close, then flowrates for each branch must be adjusted, or the design of the duct system must be altered, to give the proper pressure drops. Usually, the cross-sectionalarea of the ductwork should be changed in order to adjust the pressure drop to a suitable value
7.The supply and return air ducts, or flexible joints, should be carefully secured and sealed to the appliance housing to prevent air leakage from, or into, the duct system. For best performance, insulate the outside surfaces of the ducts to reduce heat loss from, or heat gain to, the ducts. The insulation system should be carefully selected and installed to minimize water and moisture absorption by the insulation
I.Air Filters 1.Filter Installation
J. Electrical Wiring
Typically, control wiring between the outdoor appliance and the indoor thermostat, and if used, electronic air cleaner or humidifier, will be required. Field wiring of control circuits should consist of copper conductors rated for at least 240 VAC with an insulation temperature rating conforming to Type T wire, 35C temperature rise. Depending upon code requirements, rigid or flexible conduit is recommended, and may be required. Make connections between the thermostat, and electronic air cleaner or humidifier if used, and the fan control module, inside the burner compartment. Consult the wiring diagram for the appropriate connection points on the thermostat and the fan control module
3.All wiring sizes must comply with local codes or the National Electrical Code. To minimize voltage drop to the appliance, the next larger size wire should be used when long wiring runs, in excess of 100 ft., are employed. Refer to the wiring diagrams when wiring or servicing

2.Adjustment of Burner Combustion
g.Turn the disconnecting switch to “ON”
ii.CARBON DIOXIDE CO2 OR OXYGEN O2 Take a CO2 sample from flue passageway. It is possible to achieve readings of up to 14% CO2 or 2% O2 , but it is better to have a slightly lower CO2 or higher O2 reading with zero smoke measured. To achieve a lower CO2 reading, open the air band, or shutter, on the burner until zero smoke is measured

VI. DEALER MAINTENANCE
B.Heat Exchanger
Remove the clean-outcovers. Also, remove the burner compartment cover, the burner, and the burner mounting plate. When removing the clean-outcovers, special care must be taken not to damage the gaskets. Should any of the gaskets separate, show evidence of cracks or breaks, or otherwise be unable to provide the necessary seal, the gasket must be replaced before reattaching the clean-outcovers, refer to Figure
