GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS			HIGH ALTITUDE INSTALLATIONS

This boiler must be grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code, Canadian Electrical Code and/or local codes. Boiler is polarity sensitive; correct wiring is imperative for proper operation.

This boiler must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system, or an equipment grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment grounding terminal or lead on the boiler.

INLET WATER CONSIDERATIONS

Circulating water through the boiler and to the remote storage tank (if applicable) is accomplished by a pump on XW models only. For hot water heating systems using the XB model, the circulating pump is NOT provided on standard models (optional) and must be field installed.

CORRECT GAS

Make sure the gas on which the boiler will operate is the same as that specified on the boiler rating plate. Do not install the boiler if equipped for a different type of gas; consult your supplier.

PRECAUTIONS

If the unit is exposed to the following, do not operate until all corrective steps have been made by a qualified service agent:

1.Exposure to fire.

2.If damaged.

3.Firing without water.

4.Sooting.

If the boiler has been exposed to flooding, it must be replaced.

LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM GAS MODELS

Boilers for propane or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) are different from natural gas models. A natural gas boiler will not function safely on LP gas and no attempt should be made to convert a boiler from natural gas to LP gas.

LP gas must be used with great caution. It is highly explosive and heavier than air. It collects first in the low areas making its odor difficult to detect at nose level. If LP gas is present or even suspected, do not attempt to find the cause yourself. Leave the building, leaving doors open to ventilate, then call your gas supplier or service agent. Keep area clear until a service call has been made.

At times you may not be able to smell an LP gas leak. One cause is odor fade, which is a loss of the chemical odorant that gives LP gas its distinctive smell. Another cause can be your physical condition, such as having a cold or diminishing sense of smell with age. For these reasons, the use of a propane gas detector is recommended.

If you experience an out of gas situation, do not try to relight appliances yourself. Call your local service agent. Only trained LP professionals should conduct the required safety checks in accordance with industry standards.

Rated inputs are suitable up to 2000 feet (610 m) elevation. Consult the factory for installation at altitudes over 2000 feet (610 m).

FIELD INSTALLED COMPONENTS

When installing the boiler, the following components must be installed:

•Circulating Pump (Hydronic)

•Remote Temperature Sensor/Header Sensor

•Storage Tank (Temperature & Pressure Relief Valve)
