Section I: PRE-INSTALLATION

A.INSPECT SHIPMENT carefully for any signs of damage.

1.All equipment is carefully manufactured, inspected and packed. Our responsibility ceases upon delivery of crated boiler to the carrier in good condition.

2.Any claims for damage or shortage in shipment must be filed immediately against the carrier by the consignee. No claims for variances from, or shortage in orders, will be allowed by the manufacturer unless presented within sixty (60) days after receipt of goods.

B.LOCATE BOILER in front of final position before removing crate. See Figure 1.

1.LOCATE so that vent pipe connection to chimney will be short and direct.

2.BOILER IS SUITABLE FOR INSTALLATION

ON COMBUSTIBLE FLOOR. Boiler cannot be installed on carpeting.

3.FOR BASEMENT INSTALLATION, provide a solid elevated base, such as concrete, if floor is not level, or if water may be encountered on floor around boiler.

4.PROVIDE RECOMMENDED SERVICE

CLEARANCE, if applicable, as follows: a. Clearance from Jacket Front Panel -

24" for servicing burner

24" for flueway cleaning (MST288 &

MST396)

30" for flueway cleaning (MST513)

36" for flueway cleaning (MST629)

b.Clearance from Jacket Left Side Panel -

19" for burner swing door, if opened fully with burner mounted, otherwise 1" with burner removed

12" access clearance to service rear of boiler if right side clearance is less than 12"

1" minimum if right side clearance is 12" or larger to access and service rear of boiler.

c.Clearance from Jacket Right Side Panel -

6" minimum from external Electrical Enclosure if left side clearance is 12" or larger to access and service rear of the boiler

24" minimum from rear tanklesss heater (if equipped) for servicing and removal of the heater

d.Clearance from Jacket Rear Panel -

12" minimum for rear smokebox cleaning

(Note: This dimension will also be controlled by horizontal to vertical to horizontal smokepipe arrangement - See

Figures 2 and 14.)

5.For minimum clearances to combustible materials.

See Figure 2.

Figure 2: Minimum Installation Clearances To Combustible Materials (Inches)

NOTES:

1.Listed clearances comply with American National Standard ANSI/NFPA 31, Installation of Oil Burning Equipment.

2.MegaSteam™ boilers can be installed in rooms with clearances from combustible material as listed above.

Listed clearances cannot be reduced for alcove or closet installations.

3.For reduced clearances to combustible material, protection must be provided as described in the above ANSI/NFPA 31 standard.
