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!

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.
