Upon receiving equipment, check for signs of shipping damage. Pay particular attention to parts accompanying the appliance which may show signs of being hit or otherwise being mishandled. Verify total number of pieces shown on the packing slip with those actually received. In case there is damage or a shortage, immediately notify the carrier.

Warranty –

Factory warranty (shipped with unit) does not apply to units improperly installed or improperly operated.

Experience has shown that improper installation or system design, rather than faulty equipment, is the cause of most operating problems.

1.Excessive water hardness causing a lime/scale build-up in the copper tube is not the fault of the equipment and is not covered under the manufacturer’s warranty (see Water Treatment and Water Chemistry in the Power-fin Installation and Operation Manual).

2.Excessive pitting and erosion on the inside of the copper tube may be caused by too much water velocity through the tubes and is not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty (see Boiler Flow Rates and Temperature Rise for flow requirements in the Power-fin Installation and Operation Manual).

￿Owner warning –

The information contained in this manual is intended for use by qualified professional installers, service technicians, or gas suppliers. Consult your local expert for proper installation or service procedures.

NOTICE	Consult and follow all local Building and
	Fire Regulations and other Safety Codes that
	apply to this installation. Consult a local gas
	utility company to authorize and inspect all
	gas and flue connections.

Your conventionally vented gas appliance must have a supply of fresh air circulating around it during burner operation for proper gas combustion and proper venting.

￿WARNING Should overheating occur or the gas supply fail to shut off, do not turn off or disconnect

the electrical supply to the pump. Instead, turn off the manual gas control valve to the appliance at a location external to the appliance.

Prevention of freezing –

Heat exchangers and headers damaged by freezing are not covered by warranty.

See Section 7, Startup - Freeze Protection in the Power-fin Installation and Operation for more information.
