WARNING

This boiler contains very hot water under high pressure. Do not unscrew any pipe fittings nor attempt to disconnect any components of this boiler without positively assuring the water is cool and has no pressure. Always wear protective clothing and equipment when installing, starting up or servicing this boiler to prevent scald injuries. Do not rely on the pressure and temperature gauges to determine the temperature and pressure of the boiler. This boiler contains components which become very hot when the boiler is operating. Do not touch any components unless they are cool.

This boiler must be properly vented. The chimney must be inspected for any obstructions and cleaned prior to each heating season. A clean and unobstructed chimney flue is necessary to produce the minimum draft required to safely evacuate noxious fumes that could cause personal injury or loss of life. Evidence of loose debris and or condensate induced stains at the base of the chimney flue, connector or smokepipe joints may be signs of condensing flue gases. Flue gas condensate is corrosive, which requires special consideration and must be addressed immediately. Refer to Section V, "Venting and Air Intake Piping".

This boiler needs fresh air for safe operation and must be installed so there are provisions for adequate combustion and ventilation air.

This boiler is supplied with controls which may cause the boiler to shut down and not re-start without service. If damage due to frozen pipes is a possibility, the heating system should not be left unattended in cold weather; or appropriate safeguards and alarms should be installed on the heating system to prevent damage if the boiler is inoperative.

This boiler is designed to burn No. 2 fuel oil only. Do not use gasoline, crankcase drainings, or any oil containing gasoline. Never burn garbage or paper in this boiler. Do not convert to any solid fuel (i.e. wood, coal). Do not convert to any gaseous fuel (i.e. natural gas, LP). All flammable debris, rags, paper, wood scraps, etc., should be kept clear of the boiler at all times. Keep the boiler area clean and free of fire hazards.

All boilers equipped with burner swing door have a potential hazard which, if ignored, can cause severe property damage, personal injury or loss of life. Before opening swing door, unplug burner power cord from receptacle located in lower right corner of jacket front panel and turn off service switch to boiler to prevent accidental firing of burner outside the combustion chamber. Be sure to tighten swing door fasteners completely when service is completed.
