SECTION I - GENERAL INFORMATION (Continued)
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 short- age in orders, will be allowed by the manufacturer unless presented within sixty (60) days after the receipt of goods.
B. LOCATE THE UNIT
1.RECOMMENDED SERVICE CLEARANCE
-Locate the unit in the boiler room so as to provide ease of venting and adequate clearance for maintenance, serviceability, and installation of piping. Refer to Figure 1 for boiler dimensional data.
FRONT — Provide 43” service clearance for removal, maintenance, and servicing of burner and controls.
REAR — Provide a minimum clearance from the boiler jacket for access to flame observation port, rear flue damper and vent piping, relief valve, and boiler return piping. See Table III.
LEFT SIDE — Provide a minimum clearance from the boiler jacket of 26” for cleaning of flueways and installation and removal of tankless heater(s).
RIGHT SIDE — Provide a minimum clearance from the boiler jacket of 12”.
TOP — Provide a minimum clearance from the boiler jacket of 24”
NOTICE
Recommended clearance for service may be reduced to minimum clearance to combustible material. However, increased service and maintenance difficulty will result.
WARNING
Boiler is suitable for installation on combustible floor. Do not install boiler on carpeting.
Floor construction should have adequate load bearing characteristics to bear the weight of the boiler filled with water (see Table 1). A boiler foundation similar to the one shown in Figure 2 is recommended if the boiler room floor is weak or uneven or if a water condi- tion exists.
2.FOR MINIMUM CLEARANCES to combustible materials, See Table II.
3.PROVIDE ADEQUATE FOUNDATION for the unit. Refer to Figure 2.
