provided with vent damper. Also, read and follow all
instructions in this section of the manual.
Failure to properly vent this furnace or other appliances
can result in death, bodily injury and/or property damage.
2.5.1 Masonry chimney
This furnace can be vented into an existing masonry chimney.
However, the unit must not be vented into a chimney into
which a solid fuel burning furnace is already being vented.
Before venting this furnace into a chimney, its condition must
be checked and repairs made, if necessary. Also, the chimney
lining and dimensions must conform to local and national
codes.
2.5.2 Factory Built Chimneys
Oil fired furnaces are approved for use with "L" type vents. The
unit may also be used with an approved chimney of proper
dimensions and temperature ratings as specified in the
installation code. Refer to chimney manufacturer's instructions
for proper installation.
2.5.3 Draft Regulator
This unit may be installed with or without a draft regulator.
However, it is recommended that a draft regulator be installed
in cases where the draft is either high or variable due to
external conditions. Follow the instructions provided with the
regulator.
2.5.4 Side-wall Venting
The heating unit is approved for side-wall venting. This system
includes a side-wall venter model VTK-098 and a 4" insulated
vent pipe model IFV098. Refer to the installation instructions
provided with the venting system.
2.6 BLOCKED VENT SHUT-OFF DEVICE
(BVSO) FOR CHIMNEY VENTING
CAUTION
It is imperative that this device be installed by a qualified service
technician.
A positive pressure venting system (Sealed Combustion System
or Direct Vent) MUST NOT use the BVSO. Follow the
instructions supplied with the venting system.
This device is designed to detect the insufficient evacuation of
combustion gases in the event of a vent blockage. In such a
case the thermal switch will shut down the oil burner. The
device will then need to be re-armed MANUALLY.
Refer to the detailed instructions and wiring diagrams
supplied with the BVSO for the installation and wiring
procedures. The length of wires supplied with the unit is
such that the safety device must be installed between the
flue outlet of the appliance and the draft regulator, as
indicated in the instructions.
It is also essential that the BVSO be maintained annually.
For more details refer to the instructions supplied with the
device itself, as welt as Section 3 of this Manual.
2.6.1 BVSO Performance Test
The purpose of the following test is to check that the
electrical outlet on the furnace, designated to the BVSO,
is functional.
1. Start up the burner;
2. Remove the three-pole plug from the BVSO outlet on
the furnace;
3. The burner must shut-off immediately, while the
blower continues to run to the end of the cool-down
cycle.
If the test is not in line with the above, call a QUALIFIED
SERVICE TECHNICIAN.
2.7 COMBUSTION AIR SUPPLY
AND VENTILATION
Poisonous carbon monoxide gas hazard.
Comply with NFPA 31 (U.S.) and CSA B139 (Canada)
standards for the installation of Oil Burning
Equipment and applicable provisions of local building
codes to provide combustion and ventilation air.
Failure to provide adequate combustion and
ventilation air can result in death, bodily injury and/or
property damage.
Oil furnaces must have an adequate supply of combustion
air. It is common practice to assume that older homes
have sufficient infiltration to accommodate the combustion
air requirement for the furnace. However, home
improvements such as new windows, doors, and weather
stripping have drastically reduced the volume of air
infiltration into the home.
Refer to oil furnace installation codes relative to
combustion and ventilation air requirements. Consult
Section 2.1 in this manual, specifically for units installed in
an enclosed space.
Home air exhausters are common. Bathroom and kitchen
fans, power vented clothes dryers and water heaters all
tend to create a negative pressure condition in the home.
Should this occur the chimney becomes less and less
effective and can easily downdraft. In certain cases,
mechanically supplied air, by way of a blower, interlocked
with the unit, is necessary. It is the instatler's responsibility
to check that.
445 01 4O4O00 6

2.7.1 Contaminated Combustion Air
Installations in certain areas or types of structures will increase
the exposure to chemicals or halogens that may harm the
furnace. These conditions wilt require that only outside air be
used for combustion.
The following areas or types of structures may contain or be
exposed to certain substances, potentially requiring outside air
for combustion:
a. Commercial buildings;
b. Buildings with indoor pools;
c. Furnaces installed near chemical storage areas.
Exposure to the foltowinq substances:
a. Permanent wave chemicals for hair;
b. Chlorinated waxes and cleaners;
c. Chlorine based swimming pool chemicals;
d. Water softening chemicals;
e. De-icing salts or chemicals;
f. Carbon tetrachloride;
g. Halogen type refrigerants;
h. Cleaning solvents (such as perchtoroethylene);
i. Printing inks, paint removers, varnishes, etc. ;
j. Hydrochloric acid;
k. Solvent based glue;
I. Antistatic fabric softeners for clothes dryers;
m. Acid based masonry cleaning materials.
2.7.2 Burner with Outdoor Combustion Air Kit
Certain burners are designed to function with combustion air
taken directly from the outside. Follow the instructions provided
with the burner, the fresh-air supply kit or the side-wall venting
kit.
2.8 OIL TANK
A manual shut-off valve and an oil filter shall be installed
in sequence from tank to burner. Be sure that the oil line is
clean before connecting to the burner. The oil line should
be protected to eliminate any possible damage.
Installations where the oil tank is below the burner level
must employ a two-pipe fuel supply system with an
appropriate fuel pump. A rise of 2.4 m (8') and more
requires a two stage pump and a rise greater than 4.9 m
(16') an auxiliary pump. Follow the pump instructions to
determine the size of pipe needed in relation to the rise or
to the horizontal distance.
2.9 DUCTING
Poisonous carbon monoxide gas hazard.
DO NOT draw return air from inside a closet or utility
room. Return air MUST be sealed to the furnace
casing.
Failure to properly seal ducts can result in death,
bodily injury and/or property damage.
The ducting must be designed and installed according to
approved methods, local and national codes as well as
good trade practices.
When ducting supplies air to a space other than where the
furnace is located, the return air must be sealed and also
be directed to the space other than where the furnace is
located.
2.9.1 Air filter
A properly sized air filter must be installed on the return air
side of the unit. Refer to the Technical Specifications,
p.15, for the correct dimensions. Also refer to Section 2.3
and the instructions supplied with the filter.
Fire and explosion hazard.
Use only approved heating type oil in this furnace.
DO NOT USE waste oil, used motor oil, gasoline or
kerosene.
Use of these will result in death, bodily injury and/or
property damage.
CAUTION
When a 0.75 USGPH or smaller nozzle is used, a 10 micron or
finer filter, must be installed on the oil supply line to the
furnace inside the building where the unit is located.
This is a requirement in order for the heat exchanger warranty
to remain in force.
Check your local codes for the installation of the oil tank and
accessories.
At the beginning of each heating season or once a year, check
the complete oil distribution system for leaks.
Ensure that the tank is full of clean oil. Use No.1 or No.2
Heating Oil (ASTM D396 U.S.) or in Canada, use No.1 or No.2
Furnace Oil.
2.10 SUPPLY AIR ADJUSTMENTS
(4 SPEED MOTOR)
On units equipped with 4-speed blower motors, the supply
