INSTRUCTIONS TO THE INSTALLER
The INSTALLER must give this copy of the INSTAL- LATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS to the boiler owner and make sure that the owner or operator has a basic understanding of the following:
1.The operating instructions, the type of ignition system installed and how it operates.

3.How to start up and shut off the boiler.
4.How to turn the gas and electrical power on or off.
5.What to do if the boiler ignition system locks out.
6.Where to check the system temperature and pressure and what they should be.
7.The importance of reading, understanding and following these instructions.
8.The importance of visually inspecting the vent system on a monthly basis.
The INSTALLER MUST make sure that the owner knows to shut the boiler off and call for service if the following conditions occur:
1.Yellow lazy flames or flames outside the jacket.
2.Gas smell or other strange odors.
3.Discoloration of the boiler or surrounding materials.
4.Water leaking from the heating system piping or relief valve.

6.The boiler's flame rollout safety system is actuated.
7.Control malfunction or sporadic operation.
Any appliance that burns natural gas, propane gas, fuel oil, wood or coal is capable of producing carbon monoxide (CO). Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a gas, which is odorless, colorless and tasteless but is very toxic. If your Smith boiler is not working properly, or is not vented properly, dangerous levels of CO may accumulate. CO is lighter than air and thus may travel throughout the building.
BRIEF EXPOSURE TO HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF CO, OR PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO LESSER AMOUNTS OF CO MAY RESULT IN CARBON MON- OXIDE POISONING! EXPOSURE CAN BE FATAL AND EXPOSURE TO HIGH CONCENTRATIONS MAY RESULT IN THE SUDDEN ONSET OF SYMPTOMS INCLUDING UNCONSCIOUSNESS.
Symptoms of CO poisoning include the following: Dizziness, vision problems, shortness of breath, headaches, loss of muscle control, unclear thinking, nausea, weakness and unconsciousness.
The symptoms of CO poisoning are often confused with those of influenza, and the highest incidence of poisoning occurs at the onset of cold weather or during flu season. A victim may not experience any symptoms, only one symptom, or a few symptoms. Suspect the presence of carbon monoxide if symptoms tend to disappear when you leave your home.
The following signs may indicate the presence of carbon monoxide:
•Hot gases from appliance, venting system, pipes or chimney, escaping into the living space.
•Flames coming out around the appliance.
•Yellow colored flames in the appliance.
•Stale or smelly air.
•The presence of soot or carbon in or around the appliance.
•Very high unexplained humidity inside the building.
If any of the symptoms of CO poisoning occur, or if any of the signs of carbon monoxide are present, VACATE
THE PREMISES IMMEDIATELY AND CONTACT A QUALIFIED HEATING SERVICE COMPANY OR THE GAS COMPANY OR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT!
