GB300 BOILER INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

BOILER ASSEMBLY

Locate the boiler installation site based on the guidelines set forth in the previous pages. A full concrete block foundation is recommended to protect the boiler from moisture and debris. Use solid blocks to support the boiler and hollow blocks for the rest, Figure 1. Align the hollow blocks so air can flow through them.

WARNING: Never install a GB300(S,W) boiler on top of combustible flooring! Failure to comply with this warning may result in a fire causing property damage, severe personal injury or death!

Burner Base Assembly General Instructions

WARNING: The burner base must be assembled as outlined below. Do not make substitutions for the hardware or materials supplied for the burner base assemblies. Failure to comply with this warning may result in property damage, severe personal injury or death!

Check the contents of the burner base cartons against the enclosed packing list to ensure that all of the required parts are present. If they are not, contact your Smith Cast Iron Boiler distributor or contact the Smith Customer Service Department.

The burner base panels are factory insulated to simplify field assembly of the burner base.

Box 63273, Burner Base Side Panels & Brackets, contains the left & right burner base side panels, manifold brackets and the jacket brackets, Figure 3.

A box with a number from 63265 to 63272, Burner Base Panels Less Sides, contains the burner base front and rear panels and the burner base baffle, Figure 4.
