BEFORE YOU BEGIN INSTALLATION...
Read and understand this manual completely before beginning installation.
Code Requirements
Installation must comply with all state, local and utility codes, laws, regulations and ordinances and CSA standard B139. When required, installations must conform to A.S.M.E. safety code for controls and safety devices for automatically fired boilers No. CSD-1.
All electrical wiring must be done by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical codes latest edition and all state and local codes.
Rules for Safe Installation and Operation
1. This boiler is for commercial and industrial use only. This unit is not intended for residential use.
2. This boiler must be installed by a licensed HVAC/Hydronic contractor.Installer should be trained and thoroughly
familiar with the installation and operation of oil-fired boilers.
3. Read this owner's manual and the rules for safe operation carefully. Failure to follow the rules of safe operation and the instructions could cause a malfunction of the boiler and result in death, serious bodily injury, and/or property damage.
4. Locate the boiler as close to the chimney as practical. Observe the minimum clearances outlined in Fig. 1, page 8. Remember to allow room for the boiler door to open with the burner mounted.
5. Make sure that the surface on which the boiler is to be installed is capable of supporting the weight of the boil­er,burner, and all other equipment supported by that surface.
6. A boiler pad is strongly recommended . This pad is to be made of poured concrete.It should be at least 4 inches thick and should cover the entire area underneath the boiler (not just the legs).
7. Make sure the location chosen for the boiler will provide adequate air for combustion and ventilation (see Fig.2, page 9). Also make sure that fuel and electrical requirements can be satisfied at the boiler location chosen.
8. The heating system design shall not permit the boiler's return water temperature to be lower than 130˚F for a significant period of time.This will prevent fire side corrosion and insure a long life expectancy for your boiler.
9. Check to make sure you have all the required components needed for proper installation and operation.
10. Check each component for visible damage. If you find a damaged component, contact a Lanair Service
Representative for a replacement. Do not install broken or damaged parts.
11. This boiler is designed to provide economically and environmentally friendly disposal of waste oil.Due to the nature of the fuel used, this boiler should not be relied upon as the sole source of heat.
12. Read and understand the warranty.Fill out the enclosed warranty card and return within 10 days of purchase.

Section 3 - Boiler Room Air Requirements
WARNING: Failure to provide an adequate supply of fresh air for combustion will result in hazardous operating conditions.Do not use an exhaust fan in the boiler room.
!
1. To ensure safe efficient operation, the boiler system must be supplied with sufficient air for combustion and ventila­tion (see Fig.2)
2. Unless properly controlled, avoid the use of forced ventilation, since it can create an undesirable pressure differen­tial between the boiler room and air source.
3. All boilers located in confined rooms should have free access to ventilation and combustion air from two perma­nent openings. One opening should terminate within 12" of the ceiling, the other within 12" from the floor (see Fig.2). Each opening shall have at least 1 sq. inch free area per 1,000 BTU/HR of burner input. Openings should freely connect with areas having adequate infiltration of outside air

When air comes directly from outdoors, again use two openings as explained on page 8 and above except:
• Direct connection or vertical ducting allow 1 sq. inch per 4,000 BTU/HR.
• Direct connection through horizontal ducting allow 1 sq. inch per 2,000 BTU/HR
• All ducting shall be the same size as opening but no less than 3" x 3" or 9 square inches.
Remember to compensate for louver blockage when calculating free air. Refer to manufacturer's instructions or use this general guide:
WOOD LOUVERS- Allow 20-25% free air
METAL LOUVERS OR GRILLES - Allow 60-70% free air
Any louver damper should lock open or interlock with the burner to open automatically when the boiler operates.

General Requirements
1. Chimney MUST be a 8” Class "A" chimney. Do Not Use chimney smaller than 8”.
2. INSTALLATION MUST BE DONE BY A LICENSED HVAC/HYDRONIC CONTRACTOR FAMILIAR WITH ALL STATE
AND LOCAL CODES.Safe operation of any gravity vented heating appliance requires a proper air make-up system
to prevent the heater exhaust gases from being drawn into the building. These gases could cause death, serious injury, and/or property damage. Exhaust fans, paint booths may cause draft problems.
3. Never vent this boiler into another heating appliances chimney. Never vent into ‘Class B” chimney. Gas boilers use
“Class B” chimney,it is rated for a much lower temperature than is required for your waste oil boiler. This boiler must have its own separate “Class A”chimney.
4. Inspect and maintain the chimney on an annual basis.
5. Install a U.L. listed barometric damper in the chimney. Do not reduce or enlarge the vent pipe.
6. Position the draft control as shown. Chimney angle gate pins must be horizontal for proper operation.
7. Keep the barometric draft control at least 24” from the boiler.

13. Use a 8” inside diameter “Class A”insulated chimney pipe to vent exhaust gases through wall, ceilings, attics,roofs,
combustibles, etc..
14. Vent chimney at least 3 feet above the roof and at least 3 feet higher than any portion of the building, roof, or obstruction within 10 feet of the chimney.
15. The chimney cap should be at least 3’ above the roof exit.
16. Do not use a rotating chimney cap. Use a non-restrictive “Class A”cap made for the type of “Class A” chimney you are using. FOLLOW CHIMNEY MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS.
17. The chimney must be capable of producing a negative -.02 W.C. draft when cold and -.06 W.C. draft when hot.Refer
to Section 5 Draft Instructions.
18. If you are unable to attain the proper draft, check for exhaust fans in the building.To test if there is a problem, open an overhead door and see if you now have the proper draft. You may have to add one or more sections of “Class A” chimney to the roof to get the proper draft.
19. The boiler and chimney must be installed in accordance with all state and local codes. The boiler must be installed by a licensed HVAC/Hydronics contractor in accordance with the specifications listed in this manual. The chimney must be installed per the chimney manufacturers instruction. Use “Class A”chimney only.
WARNING: FOLLOW THE CHIMNEY MANUFACTURER’S INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS AS WELL AS STATE AND LOCAL FIRE CODES.
!
Section 5 - Draft
The boiler should have a (negative) -.02 draft reading when cold, and a (negative) -.06 when hot.Check the boiler when it is running after 45 minutes. If the reading is not what it should be, adjust the barometric damper according to the instructions provided with the damper.The draft reading should be taken with a manometer. Consult your heating con­tractor,or manometers can be purchased from the Lanair Customer Service Department 800-753-1601.

Section 14 - Controls
Burner Controls and Operation
• Oil Primary Safety Control/Cad Cell:
The oil primary control is mounted on top of the burner’s electrical box.When the thermostat calls for heat the oil primary control starts the burner by switching on the air solenoid valve, ignition transformer, combustion air blower, and the fuel pump.The oil primary control works in conjunction with the cadmium sulfide cell (cad cell).The cad cell is mounted inside the burner cover, and faces the flame. The cad cell monitors the light level inside the combustion chamber to insure there is a flame present. If there is a loss of flame the primary control will go into its recycle mode. After 1-2 minutes the primary control will restart the burner.When this happens if there is a flame present, the burner will continue to function. If on start up no flame is established in 30 seconds the primary control will lock out. CAUTION: Do not press the reset button more than twice. If the burner fails to start refer to Section 19, Trouble Shooting.
• Barometric Draft Control:
The Barometric Draft Control automatically maintains a pre-set chimney draft, and is located in the chimney connec­tor (see page 10, Fig. 3). NOTE: The draft must be set/checked using a manometer.
• Air Filter/Regulator:
The Air Filter/Regulator performs two functions: 1. It removes condensation and dirt from the air. 2. It controls the amount of air pressure reaching the nozzle and air operated fuel valve. The Air/Filter Regulator is mounted on the cabinet near the burner.
• Electric Air Solenoid Valve:
The Electric Air Solenoid Valve is controlled by the Oil Primary Control. It acts as a shut-off valve, (it’s open during operation, and closed when the burner is off ). The Electric Air Solenoid Valve is located inside of the burner’s electri­cal box.
• Air Operated Fuel Valve:
The Air Operated Fuel Valve controls fuel flow to the nozzle. When the Electric Air Solenoid Valve opens and air pres­sure pushes on the fuel valve diaphragm, the plunger moves off the nozzle seat allowing fuel to enter the nozzle. The Air Operated Fuel Valve is located on the back of the air pre-heater.
• Air/Oil Pre-heater:
The Air/Oil pre-heater is an assembly that preheats the atomizing air and fuel to a predetermined temperature to properly combust used oil.The Air/Oil pre-heater is located in the burner.
• Snap Disc Assembly:
The Snap Disc accurately controls the temperature of the air/oil pre-heater assembly with two resistance type car­tridge-heating elements.The Snap Disc is mounted on the oil pre-heater inside the burner.
• Nozzle:
The Nozzle uses air pressure to help pull fuel through its small orifice, and to atomize the fuel for proper combus­tion. The Nozzle is located on the end of the air pre-heater opposite the fuel valve. Replace the Nozzle annually, as they are prone to wear by contaminants in waste oil/used oil.
Fuel Pump Controls and Operation
• Fuel Supply Pump:
The Fuel Supply Pump pumps fuel from your oil storage tank to the burner.The Fuel Supply Pump should be locat­ed as close to the fuel supply tank as possible.The Fuel Supply Pump must be mounted horizontally (Shaft). See page 12, Fig. 4.
Visit our website at: www.lanair.com
25
Page 26
Section 14 - Controls
Fuel Pump Controls and Operation
• Fuel Regulator:
A Fuel regulator is used to adjust the fuel pressure of waste oil to the burner.
• Fuel Relief Valve:
The fuel relief valve prevents excess pressure build-up in the fuel line upon burner shut-down.
Boiler Controls and Operation
• Hi-Limit Switch:
Hi-limit switches are immersion type devices for regulating the temperature of liquids in a boiler where temperature control is required.The Hi-limit switch is mounted to the supply manifold at the rear of the boiler (see page 21 for details).
• Low Water Cut-Out:
The low water cut-out switch is located on the supply manifold at the rear of the boiler.This device will turn the sys­tem off if it senses low water levels or pressure.The low water cut-out switch is mounted to the manifold at the rear of the boiler (see page 21 for details).
• Aquastat
The aquastat is an immersion type device for limiting the temperature of liquids in a boiler. The aquastat is mounted to the cabinet and the sensor is installed at the rear of the boiler next to the pressure relief valve (see page 20)
• Pressure Relief Valve:
The Pressure Relief Valve is mounted to the top of the boiler near the rear.This valve is used to automatically or manually release excess pressure which may be present in the boiler. See page 20.
• Temperature/Pressure Gauge:
This dual purpose gauge monitors supply temperature and pressure.The temperature/pressure gauge is mounted to the supply manifold at the rear of the boiler (see page 21).
Section 15 - Start-Up Procedures
Boiler Start-Up - Fill System
1. Fill boiler and system according to job specifications. System pressure should be set to have 5 PSI pressure at the
highest point in the heating system. Boiler pressure gauge will indicate pressure relative to the height of water col­umn from the boiler to the highest point, plus the additional 5 PSI.
Example: To calculate cold fill pressure: Highest point in system is 40’; 40 ÷ 2.31 = 17.32 (1 PSI = 2.31 ft w.c.) Add 5 PSI to 17.32 = 22.32 PSI; boiler pressure gauge will indicate 22.32 PSI (cold fill pressure)
2. Purge air from boiler and system . WARNING: Never purge system while boiler is in operation or fill a hot/empty boiler with cold water
26
The expansion tank must be properly sized to system requirements. An undersized expansion tank will cause system water to be lost through the relief valve and make-up water to be introduced through the fill
!
valve eventually causing mineral build-up in the boiler sections which could lead to eventual section failure.

2. Turn off all power to the boiler (120 VAC) at the main disconnect.
3. Turn off air pressure supply
4. Disconnect power line from burner (Quick Disconnect-Heavy yellow cable from service box to burner).
5. Disconnect air line from burner.
6. Remove bolts from the boiler door. Carefully swing the boiler door open.
7. Remove smoke pipe and clean out port covers at rear of the boiler.
8. Using a cleaning brush, scrub all fire side surfaces in combustion chamber, flue passages and flue collector areas.
9. Use an industrial type canister vacuum cleaner with a high efficiency filter to remove any ash from the chamber or
flue passages. Failure to clean flue passages will impair draft.
10. Inspect the combustion chamber and flue passages.
11. Re-connect smoke pipe and reinstall clean out port covers at rear of the boiler.NOTE:Do not over tighten bolts of
the clean-out port covers. Over tightening may crack or break the covers.
12. Check the front door and flue collector rope seals. Replace as required.
13. Re-assemble boiler door and burner connections.
IMPORTANT: When boiler is to be layed-up at the end of the heating season or out of service for a
prolonged period of time:
A) Make sure all boiler surfaces are clean and dry. B) Open boiler front door and place a tray of calcium chloride in the center of the furnace.This will absorb
moisture and keep the heat transfer surfaces dry.When calcium chloride becomes mushy, replace with new.
C) Block the door approximately 1/4 open.
