I. Pre-Installation
WARNING
Carefully read all instructions before installing
boiler. Failure to follow all instructions in proper
order can cause personal injury or death.
A. Inspect shipment carefully for any signs of damage.
All equipment is carefully manufactured, inspected
and packed. Our responsibility ceases upon delivery
of boiler to carrier in good condition. Any claim
for damage or shortage in shipment must be led
immediately against carrier by consignee. No claims
for variances or shortages will be allowed by Boiler
Manufacturer, unless presented within sixty (60) days
after receipt of equipment.
B. Installation must conform to the requirements of the
authority having jurisdiction. In the absence of such
requirements, installation must conform to National
Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.
C. Appliance is design certied for installation on
combustible ooring. The boiler must not be installed
on carpeting.
D. Provide clearance between boiler jacket and
combustible material in accordance with local re
ordinance. Refer to Figure 1 for minimum clearance
from combustible material for alcove installation.
Provide 1/2" clearance from water piping to
combustible materials.
F. Install on level oor. For basement installation provide
concrete base if oor is not level or if water may be
encountered on oor around boiler.
CAUTION
ASSURE THAT THE FRONT AIR DAM is in place
and undamaged. A damaged front air dam will
negatively affect the performance of this boiler,
which can cause serious property damage,
personal injury or death.
G. Protect gas ignition system components from water
(dripping, spraying, rain, etc.) during boiler operation
and service (circulator replacement, condensate trap,
control replacement, etc.).
H. Provide combustion and ventilation air in accordance
with the section "Air for Combustion and Ventilation,"
of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54,
or applicable provisions of local building codes.
