Before connecting the flue pipe sections or components,

 

verify the gasket is seated evenly inside the groove in the

 

female end of the elbow and flue adapter.

3.

Remove the kit provided screws from the air cover and

 

use them to install the wall strap.

￿WARNING

For a boiler already installed, you must turn off gas supply, turn off power and allow boiler to cool before proceeding. You must also completely test the boiler after conversion to verify performance as described under Start-up, Section 7 of this manual. Failure to comply could result in severe personal injury, death, or substantial property damage.

You must install a propane orifice to operate the outdoor boiler on propane gas. Verify when installing that the orifice size marking matches boiler size (Table 2A).

4. Insert the elbow into the flue adapter.

 

Do not use grease or other lubricant

￿ CAUTION

 

on the vent seals. Only water may be

used for this purpose. Grease or other lubricant can make the seal brittle or it can result in tears in the surface of the seal, this will result in flue gas leakage.

1.Remove the top and front access covers from the unit (tools required for removal).

2.Remove the three screws securing the gas valve to the venturi (FIG. 2-3).
