13 - LPG INSTRUCTIONS

This instruction must be retained adjacent to the boiler as they contain important details about the conversion made.

WARNING: This conversion kit shall be installed by a qualified service agency in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and all applicable codes and requirements of the authority having jurisdiction. If the information in this instructions is not followed exactly, a fire, an explosion or production of carbon monoxide may result causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life. The qualified service agency is responsible for the proper installation of this kit.The installation is not proper and complete until the operation of the converted appliance is checked as specified in the

manufacturer’s instructions supplied with the kit.

The XPak boiler is factory supplied to use natural gas. The boiler can use also LPG gas by installing a kit (supplied with every unit). The conversion to LPG is possible by:

1.Install the new gas injector

2.Modify the fan speed according the data in the table.

The kit is composed by:

1.Injector black coating (to be recognized from the natural gas that is not black coated)

2.Relative gas sticker (red color) to be attached under the boiler instead of the natural gas sticker (yellow color factory installed)

3.Instruction of the kit

4.LPG label to be affixed on the boiler casing and completed in by the organization making this conversion.

Operations for conversion

1.Switch off the boiler

2.Change the gas injector

3.Apply the red sticker

4.Switch on the boiler

5.Set the new fan speed

6.Fill the final part of this instruction

GAS SUPPLY

The gas supply must be connected to the boiler by a competent LPG installer and must be of sufficient size to supply the boiler at its maximum output. An existing supply must be checked to ensure that it is of adequate size to deal with the maximum rated input of this and any other appliances that it serves.

GAS SUPPLY INSTALLATION

The entire installation including the meter must be purged and checked for gas tightness.

CONVERTING THE BOILER GAS TYPE

To convert the boiler to another gas type it is necessary to change the gas injector, adjust the fan speed and the gas valve.

NOTICE: The gas valve sticker “WARNING: VALVE IS NOT FIELD SERVICEABLE” means the valve can be adjusted but not disassembled.
