DANGER
DO NOT store or use gasoline or other ammable vapors or liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
WARNING
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause property damage, personal
injury or loss of life. Failure to follow all instructions in the proper order can cause personal injury or
death. Read and understand all instructions, including all those contained in component manufacturers
manuals which are provided with the appliance before installing, starting-up, operating, maintaining or
servicing this appliance. Keep this manual and literature in legible condition and posted near appliance
for reference by owner and service technician.
This boiler requires regular maintenance and service to operate safely. Follow the instructions contained
in this manual.
Installation, maintenance, and service must be performed only by an experienced, skilled and knowledgeable
installer or service agency.
All heating systems should be designed by competent contractors and only persons knowledgeable in
the layout and installation of hydronic heating systems should attempt installation of any boiler.
Installation is NOT complete unless a pressure relief valve is installed into the 3/4" tapping located on
return piping that was installed into boss on top of rear section - See "Packaged Boiler Assy - Trim &
Controls" and "Water Boiler Piping" Sections of this manual for details.
It is the responsibility of the installing contractor to see that all controls are correctly installed and are
operating properly when the installation is complete including verifying that the limit sensor is fully
installed.
Failure to properly install Limit Sensor may result in property damage, personal injury or loss of life
due to elevated operating temperatures and/or pressures.
This boiler is suitable for installation on combustible ooring. DO NOT install boiler on carpeting.
DO NOT tamper with or alter the boiler or controls.
Inspect ueways at least once a year - preferably at the start of the heating season. The inside of
the combustion chamber, the vent system and boiler ueways should be cleaned if soot or scale has
accumulated.
When cleaning this boiler, take precaution to avoid damage to burner swing door insulation. If damaged,
or if there is evidence of previous damage, burner swing door insulation must be replaced immediately.
Oil Burner and Controls must be checked at least once a year or as may be necessitated.

WARNING
This boiler contains very hot water under high pressure. DO NOT unscrew any pipe ttings nor attempt
to disconnect any components of this boiler without positively assuring the water is cool and has no
pressure. Always wear protective clothing and equipment when installing, starting up or servicing this
boiler to prevent scald injuries. DO NOT rely on the pressure and temperature gauges to determine the
temperature and pressure of the boiler. This boiler contains components which become very hot when
the boiler is operating. DO NOT touch any components unless they are cool.
This boiler must be properly vented. The boiler must be connected to an approved chimney or vent
system in good condition. Serious property damage could result if the boiler is connected to a dirty or
inadequate chimney or vent system. The chimney must be inspected for any obstructions and cleaned
prior to each heating season. A clean and unobstructed chimney ue is necessary to produce the minimum
draft required to safely evacuate noxious fumes that could cause personal injury or loss of life. DO NOT
operate boiler with the absence of an approved vent system. Evidence of loose debris and or condensate
induced stains at the base of the chimney ue, connector or smokepipe joints may be signs of condensing
ue gases. Flue gas condensate is corrosive, which requires special consideration and must be addressed
immediately. Refer to "Natural Draft Venting (Chimney)" listed in Table of Contents below .
This boiler needs fresh air for safe operation and must be installed so there are provisions for adequate
combustion and ventilation air.
This boiler is supplied with controls which may cause the boiler to shut down and not re-start without
service. If damage due to frozen pipes is a possibility, the heating system should not be left unattended in
cold weather; or appropriate safeguards and alarms should be installed on the heating system to prevent
damage if the boiler is inoperative.
This boiler is designed to burn No. 2 fuel oil only. DO NOT use gasoline, crankcase drainings, or any
oil containing gasoline. Never burn garbage or paper in this boiler. DO NOT convert to any solid fuel
(i.e. wood, coal). DO NOT convert to any gaseous fuel (i.e. natural gas, LP). All ammable debris, rags,
paper, wood scraps, etc., should be kept clear of the boiler at all times. Keep the boiler area clean and
free of re hazards.
All boilers equipped with burner swing door have a potential hazard which, if ignored, can cause severe
property damage, personal injury or loss of life. Before opening swing door turn off service switch to
boiler to prevent accidental ring of burner outside the combustion chamber. Be sure to tighten swing
door fasteners completely when service is completed.

IV: WATER BOILER PIPING
NOTICE
Failure to pipe boiler as specied in this manual may result in excessive system noise.
A. EVALUATE THE EXISTING WATER
SYSTEM.
Design a piping system and install boiler which will
prevent oxygen contamination of boiler water and
frequent water additions.
1. There are many possible causes of oxygen
contamination such as:
a. Addition of excessive make-up water as a result
of system leaks.
b. Absorption through open tanks and ttings.
c. Oxygen permeable materials in the distribution
system.
2. In order to insure long product life, oxygen sources
must be eliminated. This can be accomplished by
taking the following measures:
a. Repairing system leaks to eliminate the need for
addition of make-up water.
b. Eliminating open tanks from the system.
c. Eliminating and/or repairing ttings which allow
oxygen absorption.
d. Use of non-permeable materials in the
distribution system.
e. Isolating the boiler from the system water by
installing a heat exchanger.
WARNING
System supply and return piping must be
connected to correct boiler manifolds.
U.S. Boiler Company, Inc. recommends sizing
the system circulator to supply sufficient
flow (GPM) to allow a 20°F temperature
differential in the system. When sizing the
system circulator, the most restrictive single
zone should be used to determine maximum
pressure drop.
CAUTION
Maintain minimum ½ inch clearance from hot
water piping to combustible materials.
3. In order to insure long product life, operate boiler at
appropriate ow rate to minimize areas of overheating
a. Design system to ensure that the ow is above the
limit called for in Table 4.
b. Maintain a constant boiler pressure of 12 PSI.
TABLE 4: MINIMUM FLOW RATE
Boiler Model No.Flow Rate (Gal / Min)
FORCEOL0844.5
FORCEOL1156.0
FORCEOL1478.0
FORCEOL18910.0
WARNING
Do not operate boiler below minimum volumetric
ow rates.
B. CONNECT SYSTEM SUPPLY AND RETURN
PIPING TO BOILER. See Figures 10A and 10B.
Also, consult Residential Hydronic Heating Installation
and Design I=B=R Guide.
1. If this boiler is used in connection with refrigeration
systems, the boiler must be installed so that the chilled
medium is piped in parallel with the heating boiler
using appropriate valves to prevent the chilled medium
from entering the boiler. See Figure 11. Also, consult
Residential Hydronic Heating Installation and Design
I=B=R Guide.
2. If this boiler is connected to heating coils located
in air handling units where they may be exposed to
refrigerated air, the boiler piping must be equipped
with ow control valves to prevent gravity circulation
of boiler water during the operation of the cooling
system.
3. If an indirect water heater is used, priority zoning can
be used. Do not use priority zoning for Hydro-Air
Systems. Refer to the Indirect Water Heater Installation,
Operating, and Service Instructions for additional
information.
4. The FORCEOL is designed to withstand thermal shock
from return water temperatures as low as 100°F, but
prolonged return temperatures of below 135°F can
cause excessive ue gas condensation and damage
the boiler and/or venting system.
Use a boiler bypass if the boiler is to be operated
.
in a system which has a large volume or excessive
radiation where low boiler water temperatures may be
encountered (i.e. converted gravity circulation system,
etc.) The bypass should be the same size as the supply
and return lines with valves located in the bypass and
return line as illustrated in Figures 10A and 10B in
order to regulate water ow for maintenance of higher
boiler water temperature.

Figure 11: Recommended Piping for Combination Heating and Cooling (Refrigeration) System
WARNING
The use of a low water cut-off device, while not
required unless radiation level is below the boiler,
is highly recommended.
If a low water cut-off is required, it must be
mounted in the system piping above the boiler. The
minimum safe water level of a hot water boiler is
just above the highest water containing cavity of
the boiler; that is, a hot water boiler must be full of
water to operate safely.
5. If it is required to perform a long term pressure
test of the hydronic system, the boiler should rst
be isolated from the system to avoid a pressure loss
due to the escape of air trapped in the boiler.
To perform a long term pressure test including the
boiler, ALL trapped air must rst be removed from
the boiler.
A loss of pressure during such a test, with no visible
water leakage, is an indication that the boiler
contained trapped air.

A. CHIMNEY VENTING
1. Chimney venting is an important part of a safe
and efcient oil red appliance system. Contact
your local re and building ofcials on specic
requirements for restrictions and the installation
of fuel oil burning equipment. In addition,
consult with a professional knowledgeable on
the requirements of NFPA 31 – Standard for the Installation of Oil-Burning Equipment and NFPA
211 - Standard for Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents, and Solid Fuel-Burning Appliances.
2. The safe venting of oil red boilers is dependant on
many factors. Some of these factors include:
a. sufcient draft during the entire heating season
to allow for the safe discharge of combustion byproducts and;
b. suitable corrosion protection in the event of
condensing ue gases. Only a trained and
qualied contractor may install this product.
3. The FORCEOL can be vented into a reclay tile-
lined masonry chimney that meets requirements
outlined in Paragraph 4 below. It can also be vented
into a chimney constructed from type L vent or a
factory built chimney that complies with the type
HT requirements of UL 103. The chimney and
vent pipe shall have a sufcient draft at all times,
to assure safe proper operation of the boiler. See
Figure 13 for recommended installation.
WARNING
Do not de-rate the appliance. Failure to re the
unit at it's designed input may cause excessive
condensation upon the interior walls of the
chimney. In addition, the lower input may not
create enough draft to adequately evacuate the
by-products of combustion.
4. Chimney Inspection – Prior to the installation of
any new or replacement fuel burning equipment the
chimney shall be inspected by a qualied installer.
The chimney shall be inspected for integrity as
well as for proper draft and condensate control.
Some jurisdictions require the use of a liner when
changing fuel types. Some jurisdictions require
the use of a liner even when the same fuel is used.
At a minimum, the chimney shall be examined
by a qualied person in accordance with the
requirements of Chapter 11 of NFPA 211, Standard
for Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents, and Solid FuelBurning Appliances.
a. Loose Mortar – Loose mortar could be an
indication of a prior history of condensing ue
gases upon the inside walls of the chimney.
Colder climates are more susceptible to this
22
condition. Under no circumstances shall a
chimney of this condition be used until it meets
the requirements of NFPA 211.
b. Unlined Chimney – Under no circumstances
shall a chimney constructed of brick only
be used. Only approved clay liners or listed
chimney lining systems shall be used as specied
in NFPA 31.
c. Abandoned Openings – Openings through the
chimney wall that are no longer used shall
be sealed in accordance to NFPA 211. Often
abandoned openings are improperly sealed and
usually covered by a gypsum wall covering.
d. Clean Chimney – Chimney shall be free of all
loose debris.
5. Draft Regulator – the draft regulator supplied with
the boiler must be used with this appliance. Refer to
Figures 13 and 14.
B. CHIMNEY CONNECTOR
1. A chimney connector (vent pipe) is used to connect
the boiler to the base of the chimney. The chimney
connector should be kept as short as possible. The
horizontal length of the chimney connector shall not
be greater than 10 feet.
NOTE: Secure chimney connector to cast iron
smokebox collar with three (3) #10 x ½" self drilling
hex head TEK screws provided in miscellaneous
parts carton. Locate screws around perimeter of
connector as shown in Figure 13 and approximately
½" in from edge. Use drill with 5/16" hex bit to
drive screws through connector and smokebox
collar.
DANGER
The chimney and connector shall be inspected
annually for signs of debris and corrosion. Loose
mortar at the base of the chimney may be a sign
of condensate damage to the chimney. A chimney
professional shall be contacted immediately to
examine the damage and recommend a solution.
Long term operation while in this condition may
cause a venting failure and force ue gases into
the living space. If the chimney is to be re-lined
use the recommendations in NFPA 31.
2. Type B Chimney Connector - a type B chimney
connector can be used to transmit the ue gases
provided ue gas temperature entering the chimney
connector is greater than 310°F.
3. Type L Chimney Connector - a type L vent or
other suitable material shall be used for a chimney
connector if the temperature or exiting temperature
is less than 310°F.

VI: Natural Draft Venting (Chimney) (continued)
DANGER
Any signs of condensate seepage at the base of
the chimney shall be inspected immediately. The
discoloration may be a sign of chimney damage
and must be remedied immediately.
C. DRAFT
1. The natural draft generated through a chimney is
dependent on several factors including, chimney
height, temperature of ue gases, cross section area
of chimney, chimney wall insulation value, dilution
air and total volume of ue gases, to name a few.
Make sure that the boiler has been running for at
least 5 minutes before measuring the draft.
2. Minimum Draft at Breech (Canopy) – The draft
induced by a chimney must create at least a pressure
of 0 (zero) inches water column (“ w.c.) at the
pressure tapping on the canopy mounted on rear of
boiler (see Figure 15). The pressure at the canopy
CANNOT be positive since this could create a
condition that allows ue gas by-products to escape
from the draft regulator. A negative pressure
reading up to -.03 inches water column is acceptable
for proper operation (see Beckett AFG Burner
Specications, Table 9 at the end of this manual for
more details).
3. Minimum Overre Pressure – The overre
pressure is another piece of information that is
often measured, however this should be done for
observation purposes only! The breech pressure
must be used to qualify the draft condition. See
Table 9 for more details as a guide. Actual draft and
temperature measurements may be different then
those values in the table.
D. STACK TEMPERATURE
1. The temperature of the ue gases has a signicant
effect on the amount of draft created in a vertical
chimney as well as the propensity to create
condensate. The higher the stack temperature, the
greater the amount of draft that can be generated. A
lower stack temperature not only reduces the amount
of draft that can be created but it also increases the
possibility that the ue gases could condense in the
chimney connector or stack.
2. NFPA 31 has information to help the installer
make an appropriate choice of venting materials.
In some cases a chimney may have to be lined to
create sufcient draft. In other cases, the chimney
may have to be lined to prevent the corrosion
of a masonry chimney. Consult with a chimney
specialist knowledgeable on the requirements for
chimney requirements in your area.
CAUTION
Any doubt on the condition of a chimney or it’s
ability to prevent the generation and accumulation
of ue gas condensate, must be relined according
to NFPA 31.
CAUTION
Use the chimney venting tables as a guide. It
is highly recommended that any borderline
application should result in the relining of the
chimney with a suitable liner that creates sufcient
draft and to protect against corrosion caused by
ue gas condensate.
Figure 15: Smokebox Pressure Tapping for
Checking Draft at Breech

3. Bafes – The efciency of the boiler is based on the
insertion of ue bafes supplied with your product.
Under no circumstances are other bafes to be used
on this product. Refer to Section III, Paragraph F,
Item 6 for bafe installation. If there is any doubt
on the application of this boiler on the intended
chimney, consult with your local code ofcials.
At a minimum, remove the bafes to increase the
stack temperature. See Table 9 for temperature
differential with bafes IN and OUT. In addition,
the lower the CO

VII: DIRECT VENTING / AIR INTAKE PIPING
A. GENERAL GUIDELINES
1. Direct Vent system must be installed in accordance with
these instructions and applicable provisions of local
building codes. Contact your local re and building
ofcials on specic requirements for restrictions
and the installation of fuel oil burning equipment. In
addition, for boiler installation in United States, consult
with a professional knowledgeable on requirements of
NFPA 31- Standard for the Installation of Oil-Burning
Equipment and NFPA 211 Standard for Chimney,
Fireplaces, Vents and Solid Fuel-Burning Appliances,
latest editions.
2. In the Direct Vent conguration, all air for combustion
is supplied directly to the burner from outdoors, and, ue
gases are vented directly outdoors (thru wall), via Direct
Vent System (FDVS), which is a non-positive pressure
vent system termination for oil-red appliances, that
provides an outlet for products of combustion, and,
an intake for combustion air in a single concentric
terminal.
3. Direct Vent Hood Assembly minimum clearance to
combustible material is 0".
4. Maximum wall thickness that FDVS vent termination
may be installed through is 12".
This venting system must be installed by a
qualied installer (an individual who has been
properly trained) or a licensed installer.
DO NOT locate vent termination where
exposed to prevailing wind. Moisture and ice
may form on surfaces around vent termination.
To prevent deterioration, surface must be in
good repair (sealed, painted etc.).
DO NOT locate vent termination where
petroleum distillates, CFC's, detergents,
volatile vapors or any other chemicals are
present. Severe boiler corrosion and failure
will result.
DO NOT locate vent termination under a
deck.
5. Locate the vent terminal so vent pipe is short and direct,
WARNING

once power is turned off.
WARNING
Failure to properly wire electrical connections to the boiler may result in serious physical harm.
Electrical power may be from more than one source. Make sure all power is off before attempting any
electrical work.
Each boiler must be protected with a properly sized fused disconnect.
Never jump out or make inoperative any safety or operating controls.
A.GENERAL
1. Install wiring and electrically ground boiler in
accordance with requirements of the authority
having jurisdiction, or in absence of such
requirements the National Electrical Code, ANSI/
NFPA 70.
2. Refer to National Electric Code or Local Electric
Codes for proper size and type of wire required.
Follow Code.
3. A separate electrical circuit must be run from
the main electrical service with an over-current
device/disconnect in the circuit. A service switch is
recommended and may be required by some local
jurisdictions.
4. Use anti-short bushings on all wiring passing
through boiler jacket, junction boxes and/or control
boxes.
5. Use armored cable (BX) over all exposed line
voltage wiring.
6. If an indirect domestic water heater is used, use
priority zoning. Do not use priority zoning for
Hydro-Air Systems.
7. Wiring should conform to Figures 27, 28, 29 and 30.
B. INSTALL A ROOM THERMOSTAT on an
inside wall about four feet above oor. Never install
thermostat on an outside wall or where it will be
inuenced by drafts, hot or cold water pipes, lighting
xtures, television, rays of the sun or near a replace.
Keep large furniture away from thermostat so there will
be free movement of room air around this control.
Heat Anticipator in Thermostat should be set to match
the requirements of the control to which it is connected.
See Figures 27, 28 and 29 for desired system and
heat anticipator setting. If system tends to overheat
above the thermostat's temperature setting, reduce heat
anticipator setting by .1 or .2 amps. If system tends to
short cycle without reaching desired room temperature,
increase heat anticipator setting by .1 or .2 amps.

IX: OIL PIPING
A. GENERAL
1. Use exible oil line(s) so the burner swing door
can be opened without disconnecting the oil supply
piping.
2. A supply line fuel oil lter is recommended as a
minimum for all ring rates but a pleated paper fuel
oil lter is recommended for the ring rates below
1.0 GPH to prevent nozzle fouling.
3. Use Flared ttings only. Cast iron ttings cannot be
used.
NOTICE
Do not use compression ttings.
Oil piping must be absolutely airtight or leaks
or loss of prime may result. Bleed line and
fuel unit completely.
Refer to your local jurisdictions regarding
any special considerations for fuel supply
requirements. In addition, refer to NFPA 31,
Standard for the Installation of Oil-Burning
Equipment.
4. Use of a high efciency micron lter (Garber or
equivalent) in addition to a conventional lter is
highly recommended.
5. Piping used to connect the oil burner to the oil
supply tank shall not be smaller than 3/8" iron pipe
or 3/8" OD copper tubing. Copper tubing shall have
a .032" minimum wall thickness.
WARNING
Under no circumstances can copper with sweat
style connectors be used.
NOTICE
Some jurisdictions require the use of a fusible
shutoff valve at the tank and/or the burner. In
addition, some jurisdictions require the use of a
fusible electrical interlock with the burner circuit.
Check your local Codes for special requirements.
B. SINGLE PIPE OIL LINES
1. Standard burners are provided with single-stage
3450 RPM fuel units with the bypass plug removed
for single-pipe installations.
2. The single-stage fuel unit may be installed singlepipe with gravity feed or lift. Maximum allowable
lift is 8 feet. See Figure 31.
3. Fuel Oil Line Deaerator – On many occasions a
leaky oil delivery line can introduce air into the
fuel oil supply system. This often creates a rough
starting condition and can create a burner lockout
state. In addition to xing the leak, a fuel line
deaerator can be installed to eliminate air. The
single line from the fuel tank is connected to the
deaerator. The burner pump must be connected
to the deaerator as a two pipe system. Follow the
oil pump manufacturer’s recommendations for
conversion to a two pipe system.
38
Figure 31: Single Pipe Oil Line
Page 39
IX: Oil Piping (continued)
C.TWO PIPE OIL LINES
1. For two piped systems, where more lift is required,
the two-stage fuel unit is recommended. Table
7 (two-stage) and Table 8 (single-stage) show
allowable lift and lengths of 3/8 inch and 1/2 inch
OD tubing for both suction and return lines. Refer
to Figure 32.
2. Follow the oil pump manufacturer’s
recommendations on the proper connections for a
two pipe system. Some manufacturers require the
insertion of a bypass plug.

tting in a SOLID stream without air bubbles for
approximately 10 seconds.
NOTE: For Primary Control "Pump Priming
Cycle" details, see Paragraph I, No. 2., Step a., Item
ii .
G. ADJUST OIL BURNER WHILE
OPERATING. (ame present)
1. ADJUST DRAFT REGULATOR for a draft of
zero inches (water gauge) in the canopy (see Figure
15) after chimney has reached operating temperature
and while burner is running (at least ve minutes).
See Table 9 at the end of this manual for additional
details.
Figure 37: Adjusting Fuel Pump Pressure
43
Page 44
X: System Start-Up (continued)
2. READJUST THE AIR DAMPER SETTING
(Air Band/Air Shutter/Air Gate) on burner for a
light orange colored ame while the draft in the
canopy is zero inches water column ("w.c.). Use a
smoke tester and adjust air for minimum smoke (not
to exceed #1) with a minimum of excess air. Make
nal check using suitable instrumentation to obtain
a CO2 of 11.5 to 12.5% with draft of zero inches
water column ("w.c.) (water gauge) in canopy.
These settings will assure a safe and efcient
operating condition. If the ame appears stringy
instead of a solid re, try another nozzle of the same
type. Flame should be solid and compact. After
all adjustments are made recheck for a draft of zero
inches water column ("w.c.) in the canopy. Replace
plug at completion.
See Table 9 (at the end of this manual) for details
regarding the overre pressure when bafes are both
installed and removed.
NOTE: Paragraph G, Step 1 MUST BE repeated every
time the Air Damper Setting is readjusted.
3. ONLY READJUST THE HEAD / TURBULATOR
SETTING, if necessary.
Beckett AFG Burners
a. FORCEOL084 through FORCEOL147
Beckett MB(L1 & L2) Head burners have a xed
head which are non-adjustable.
b. FORCEOL189:
Beckett MD(V1) (variable) Head burners have
the ability to control air by moving the head. It
might be necessary to move the head forward
or back one position at a time to optimize the
smoke and CO2 readings. See Figure 33.
Beckett NX Burners
Move the Head/Air Setting forward or back one
position at a time to optimize the smoke and CO2
readings. See Figure 36.
NOTE: Step outlined in Paragraph G, Steps 1 and 2
above MUST BE repeated every time the Head/
Turbulator or air Damper Setting is readjusted.
WARNING
DO NOT loosen or remove any oil line ttings
while burner is operating.
4. FLAME FAILURE
The FORCEOL boiler controls operate the burner
automatically. If for unknown reasons the burner
ceases to re and the reset button on the primary
control has tripped, the burner has experienced
ignition failure. Refer to Oil Primary Control
features, Paragraph I, Step 2 of this section and
Section XIV, Troubleshooting, Paragraph B. If
the failure re-occurs, call your heating contractor
immediately before pressing the reset button.
WARNING
DO NOT attempt to start the burner when excess
oil has accumulated, when the boiler is full of
vapor, or when the combustion chamber is very
hot.
5. CAD CELL LOCATION AND SERVICE
The burner is supplied with a cadmium sulde ame
detector mounted at the factory, mounted on the
bottom of the electronic ignitor. See Figure 38. To
service cad cell or to replace the plug in portion,
swing open the ignitor. After service is complete, be
sure to fasten down the ignitor.
H. CHECK FOR CLEAN CUT OFF OF
BURNER.
1. AIR IN THE OIL LINE between fuel unit and
nozzle will compress when burner is on and will
expand when burner stops, causing oil to squirt from
nozzle at low pressure as burner slows down and
causing nozzle to drip after burner stops. Usually
cycling the burner operation about 5 to 10 times will
rid oil line of this air.
2. IF NOZZLE CONTINUES TO DRIP, repeat
Paragraph H, Step 1 above. If this does not stop the
dripping, remove cut-off valve and seat, and wipe
both with a clean cloth until clean, then replace
and readjust oil pressure. If dripping or after burn
persist replace fuel pump.
I.TEST CONTROLS.
1. Check thermostat operation. Raise and lower
thermostat setting as required to start and stop
burner.
WARNING
44
Before installation of the boiler is considered
complete, the operation of all boiler controls must
be checked, particularly the primary control and
high limit control.
Page 45
X: System Start-Up (continued)
Figure 38: Cad Cell Location
2. VERIFY OIL PRIMARY CONTROL
FEATURES using procedures outlined in
Instructions furnished with control or instructions as
follows:
a. GeniSys 7505 Control Features, see Figure 39.
i.The GeniSys 7505 is a microprocessor-
based control. The indicator light provides
diagnostic information for lockout, recycling
and cad cell status. There is a manual reset
button to exit the Lockout Mode.
ii. Pump Priming Cycle: To facilitate purging
air from the oil lines and lters, the 7505 can
be placed in a purge routine by:
• After the burner starts, press and hold the
reset button for 15 seconds until the
yellow light turns on. This indicates that
the button has been held long enough.
• Release the reset button. The yellow
light will turn off and the burner will start
up again.
• At burner start up, click the reset button
while the igniter is till on. This will
transition the control to a dedicated
Pump Prime mode, during which the
motor, igniter, and valve are powered for
four (4) minutes. The yellow light will be
on.
• At the end of four (4) minutes, the yellow
light will turn off and the control will
automatically return to standby mode.
iii. Limited Recycle: This feature limits the
number of recycle trials (for each call
for heat) to a maximum of three trials. If
the ame is lost three times and does not
successfully satisfy a call for heat, the 7505
locks out.
Figure 39: GeniSys 7505 Oil Primary Terminals,
LED's and Reset Button
iv. Limited Reset (Restricted Mode): In order
to limit the accumulation of unburned oil in
the combustion area, the control can only be
reset three times. The reset count returns to
zero each time a call for heat is successfully
completed.
v. T-T Jumper: Select models have pre-
installed T-T jumper. DO NOT remove
jumper.
NOTE:DO NOT remove "T-T" jumper unless
wiring diagram indicates a direct connection
from thermostat and/or tankless heater
HydroStat 3250 control to the oil burner
primary control's "T-T" terminal. Refer to
appropriate wiring diagram, see Figures 27
and 28.
vi. Diagnostic LED: The indicator light on oil
primary control provides lockout, recycle
and cad cell indications as follows:
• Flashing at 1 Hz (½ second on, ½ second
off): system is locked out or in Restricted
Mode.
• Flashing at ¼ Hz (2 seconds on, 2 seconds
off): control is in Recycle Mode.
• On: cad cell is sensing ame.
• Off: cad cell is not sensing ame.
45
Page 46
X: System Start-Up (continued)
vii. Cad Cell Resistance Check: For proper
operation it is important that the cad
cell resistance is below 1600 ohms. During
a normal call for heat, the cad cell leads
can be unplugged from the control and the
resistance measured with a meter in the
conventional way.
Conduct these tests with ame present, see
chart below.
Flame Detection Range
Normal (0 - 1600 ohms)
Limited (1600 ohms to lockout)
3. CHECK OIL PRIMARY CONTROL
CAUTION
Due to the potential hazard of line voltage, only a
trained, experienced service technician should
perform the following safety checks.
This control contains no eld-serviceable parts.
DO NOT attempt to take it apart. Replace entire
control if operation is not as described.
a. Preliminary Steps
• Check wiring connections and power supply.
• Make sure power is on to the controls.
• Make sure limit control is closed.
• Check contacts between ignitor and the
electrodes.
• Check the oil pump pressure.
• Check the piping to the oil tank.
• Check the oil nozzle, oil supply and oil lter.
b. Check Safety Features
Safe Start:
• Place a jumper across cad cell terminals.
• Follow procedure to turn on burner. Burner
must not start, indicator light turns on and
control remains in Idle Mode.
• Remove jumper.
c. Simulate Ignition or Flame Failure:
• Follow procedure to turn on burner.
• Check cad cell resistance. If resistance is
below 1600 OHMS and burner runs beyond
safety cut-out time, cad cell is good.
• If safety switch shuts down burner and
resistance is above 1600 OHMS, open line
switch to boiler. Access cad cell under ignitor,
clean face of cad cell and see that cell is
securely in socket. Check gasket around
perimeter of ignitor lid for proper seal. If
gasket is missing or damaged, replace gasket.
Room light can effect cad cell resistance. Reset
safety switch.
• Close line switch to boiler. If burner starts
and runs beyond safety switch cut-off
time, cell is good. If not, install new cell.
• Close hand valve in oil supply line.
• Failure occurs, device enters Recycle Mode.
• Device tries to restart system after
approximately 60 seconds.
• After third Recycle Mode trial, safety
switch locks out within safety switch
timing indicated on label and control
enters Restricted Mode. Ignition and
motor stop and oil valves closes.
d. Power Failure Check: After Flame is
established, turn the power off to the control/
burner. The burner should shut down safely.
When power is restored a normal ignition
sequence should be started.
WARNING
Cad Cell Jumper must be removed after this
check.
4. CHECK HIGH LIMIT
a. Adjust system thermostat(s) to highest setting.
b. Allow burner to run until boiler water
temperature exceeds high limit setting. The
burner should shut down and circulators continue
running.
c. Allow the temperature to drop below control
setting. The burner must restart.
d. Boiler installation is not considered complete
until this check has been made.
5. CHECK LOW WATER CUT-OFF CONTROL, if
required on this boiler application. See Appendix
"B" at the rear of this manual for 'How to Test'.
J. IF CONTROLS MEET REQUIREMENT outlined
in Paragraph I.
Allow boiler to operate for approximately 30 minute,
conrm the boiler and system have no leaks.
K. IF CONTROLS DO NOT MEET
REQUIREMENTS outlined in Paragraphs I-1 thru
I-5, replace control and repeat checkout procedures.

XII: MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS
A. WATER BOILERS:
1.Filling of boiler and system.
GENERAL — In a hot water heating system, the
boiler and entire system (other than the expansion
tank) must be full of water for satisfactory
operation. Water should be added to the system until
the boiler pressure gauge registers 12 psi. To insure
that the system is full, water should come out of all
air vents when opened.
2. BOILING OUT OF BOILER AND SYSTEM. The
oil and grease which accumulate in a new hot water
boiler can be washed out in the following manner:
a. Ideally, shut off valves have been installed
between the boiler return manifold and the rest
of the system, to minimize the amount of system
draining.
b. Drain the boiler to a level below the relief valve
tapping.
DANGER
Assure that the boiler is at zero pressure before
removing the relief valve. Open the safety valve
to relieve all internal pressure prior to proceeding.
Safety valve discharge piping must be piped such
that the potential for burns is eliminated.
c. Remove relief valve using extreme care to avoid
damaging it.
d. Add an appropriate amount of recommended boil
out compound.
e. Replace relief valve.
f. Fill the entire system with water.
g. Start ring the boiler.
h. Circulate the water through the entire system.
i. Vent the system, including the radiation.
j. Allow boiler water to reach operating
temperature, if possible.
k. Continue to circulate the water for a few hours.
l. Stop ring the boiler.
m. Drain the system in a manner and to a location
that hot water can be discharged with safety.
n. Remove plugs from all available returns and
wash the water side of the boiler as thoroughly as
possible, using a high-pressure water stream.
o. Rell the system with fresh water.
3. Add appropriate boiler water treatment compounds
as recommended by your qualied water treatment

4. Make pH or Alkalinity Test.
After boiler and system have been cleaned and relled
as previously described, test the pH of the water in the
system. This can easily be done by drawing a small
sample of boiler water and testing with hydrion paper
which is used in the same manner as litmus paper,
except it gives specic readings. A color chart on the
side of the small hydrion dispenser gives the reading
pH. Hydrion paper is inexpensive and obtainable
from any chemical supply house or through your local
druggist. The pH should be higher than 7 but lower
than 11. Add some of the washout chemical (caustic
soda), if necessary, to bring the pH within the specied
range. With this lower level of protection, care must
be exercised to eliminate all of the free oxygen in the
system.
5. Boiler is now ready to be put into service.
B.EXCESSIVE MAKE-UP WATER
A leaky system will increase the volume of make-up
water supplied to the boiler, which can signicantly
shorten the life of the boiler. Entrained in make-up
water are dissolved minerals, salts and oxygen. When
the fresh, cool make-up water is heated in the boiler,
the minerals fall out as sediment, the salts coat the
inside of the boiler, and the oxygen escapes as a gas.
The accumulation of sediment eventually isolates the
water from contacting the steel. When this happens
the steel in that area gets extremely hot and eventually
cracks. The presence of free oxygen or chloride salts in
the boiler creates a corrosive atmosphere which, if the
concentration becomes high enough, can corrode the steel
through from the inside. More make-up water and higher
concentrations of contaminants damage the boiler sooner.
Our warranty does not cover corrosion and sedimentrelated damage. Clearly it is in everyone’s best interest
to prevent this type of failure. You can do your part by
ensuring that your system is leak-free, keeping leakage
to less than 2 percent of the boiler water volume each
month. Refer to chart below.

C. ATTENTION TO BOILER WHILE NOT IN
OPERATION
NOTICE
If boiler is not used during winter time, it must be
fully drained to prevent freeze damage.
1. Prevent Freeze Damage
Important: If boiler is NOT used during winter
time, it must be fully drained to prevent freeze
damage.
2. Spray inside surfaces with light lubricating or
crankcase oil using gun with extended stem so as to
reach all corners.
3. Always keep the manual fuel supply valve shut off
if the burner is shut down for an extended period of
time.
4. To recondition the heating system in the fall season
after a prolonged shut down, follow the instructions
outlined in Section X, System Start-Up, Paragraphs
A through K.
WARNING
This boiler contains controls which may cause
the boiler to shut down and not restart without
service. If damage due to frozen pipes is a
possibility, the heating system should not be
left unattended in cold weather; or appropriate
safeguards and alarms should be installed on the
heating system to prevent damage if the boiler is
inoperative.

XIII: BOILER CLEANING
WARNING
All boiler cleaning must be completed with burner service switch turned off. Boilers equipped with burner
swing door have a potential hazard which can cause severe property damage, personal injury or loss of life
if ignored. Before opening swing door, turn off service switch to boiler to prevent accidental ring of burner
outside the combustion chamber. Disconnect the burner plug from the receptacle in the front jacket. Be sure
to tighten swing door fastener completely when service is completed.
A.CLEAN THE FLUEWAYS (See Figure 40).
1. For access to the combustion chamber remove the
two (2) 3/8" - 16 cap screws. If boiler is equipped
with exible fuel line(s), swing door open.
2. Remove the two smoke box clean-out covers from
the rear smoke box by removing the four 5/16"-18
hex head bolts. It is NOT necessary to remove the
vent connector from the smoke box to clean boiler.
If necessary, remove the vent connector if there is
evidence of heavy soot accumulation in the boiler
or to inspect base of chimney for condensate or
accumulation of debris.
3. Remove the bafes (if installed) from the ue
passages. Refer to Section III, Paragraph F for
Bafe Installation.
4. Clean the 3rd Pass – Insert a 2" dia. x 42" long
wire or ber bristle brush into each of the two 3rd
passes. Using long strokes push the brush all the
way through the boiler until the brush has exited
the smoke box opening. Pull the brush all the way
forward until it has exited the front of the boiler.
Continue this operation for the entire height of the
ue way until clean. Repeat the operation for the
other 3rd pass ue way.
5. Clean the 2nd Pass - Insert a 2" dia. x 42" long wire
or ber bristle brush into each of the two 2nd passes.
Using long strokes push the brush all the way
through the boiler until the brush hits the back wall
of the reversing chamber. Pull the brush all the way
forward until it has exited the front of the boiler.
Continue this operation for the entire height of the
ue way until clean. Repeat the operation for the
other 2nd pass ue way.
6. Vacuum the loose debris in the bottom of the
combustion chamber and smoke box.
C.AFTER CLEANING, vacuum all remaining debris
as necessary. Inspect burner swing door insulation, and
rope gasket for signs of damage. If damaged, replace as
needed.
D. REASSEMBLE BOILER.
CAUTION
Do not start the burner unless the burner swing
door and canopy cover plates are secured in
place.
1 Insert the bafes (if originally installed) into the
correct ue way. Refer to Section III, Paragraph F
for Bafe Installation.
2. Attach the smoke box clean-out covers onto the
rear of the boiler. Verify that the rope gasket is
in good working order before assembly. Replace
rope gasket if necessary. Use the 3/8" hardware
originally removed. Do not over tighten. They
should be snug but not bottomed out.
NOTICE
When securing burner swing door make sure door
is drawn-in equally on both sides.
Tighten swing door hardware to provide adequate
seal to rope gasket around perimeter of door.
Use an alternating tightening method from right side
to left side cap screw to pull door tight equally.
NOTICE
Do not overtighten. The rope gasket will provide
sufcient seal when the door is snugged into
place.
B. CLEAN THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER
Use a wire or ber bristle brush to clean the surfaces
of the combustion chamber. Vacuum all of the loose
debris in the bottom of the combustion chamber.

Figure 40: Cleaning of Boiler Flueways
WARNING
The boiler must be connected to an approved chimney in good condition. Serious property damage could
result if the boiler is connected to a dirty or inadequate chimney. The interior of the chimney ue must be
inspected and cleaned before the start of the heating season and should be inspected periodically throughout
the heating season for any obstructions. A clean and unobstructed chimney ue is necessary to allow noxious
fumes that could cause injury or loss of life to vent safely and will contribute toward maintaining the boiler's
efciency.

XIV: TROUBLESHOOTING
A. COMBUSTION
1. NOZZLES — Although the nozzle is a relatively
inexpensive device, its function is critical to the
successful operation of the oil burner. The selection
of the nozzle supplied with the FORCEOL boiler
is the result of extensive testing to obtain the best
ame shape and efcient combustion. Other brands
of the same spray angle and spray pattern may be
used but may not perform at the expected level of
CO2 and smoke. Nozzles are delicate and should be
protected from dirt and abuse. Nozzles are massproduced and can vary from sample to sample. For
all of those reasons a spare nozzle is a desirable item
for a serviceman to have.
2. FUEL LEAKS — Any fuel leak between the
pump and the nozzle will be detrimental to good
combustion results. Look for wet surfaces in the air
tube, under the ignitor, and around the air inlet. Any
such leaks should be repaired as they may cause
erratic burning of the fuel and in the extreme case
may become a re hazard.
3. SUCTION LINE LEAKS — Any such leaks should
be repaired, as they may cause erratic burning of
the fuel and in extreme cases may become a re
hazard. Whatever it takes, The Oil Must Be Free
of Air. This can be a tough problem, but it must be
resolved. Try bleeding the pump through a clear
tube. There must be no froth visible. There are
various test kits available to enable you to look at
the oil through clear tubing adapted to the supply
line at the pump tting. Air eliminators are on the
market that have potential. Also, electronic sight
glasses are being used with good success. At times,
new tubing must be run to the tank or new ttings
put on. Just make sure you get the air out before
you leave.
Any air leaks in the fuel line will cause an unstable
ame and may cause delayed ignition noises. Use
only are ttings in the fuel lines.
4. GASKET LEAKS — If 11.5 to 12.5% CO2 with a
#1 smoke cannot be obtained in the breeching, look
for air leaks around the burner mounting gasket,
observation door, and canopy gasket. Such air leaks
will cause a lower CO2 reading in the breeching. The
smaller the ring rate the greater effect an air leak
can have on CO2 readings.
5. DIRT — A fuel lter is a good investment.
Accidental accumulation of dirt in the fuel system
can clog the nozzle or nozzle strainer and produce a
poor spray pattern from the nozzle. The smaller the
ring rate, the smaller the slots become in the nozzle
and the more prone to plugging it becomes with the
same amount of dirt.
6. WATER — Water in the fuel in large amounts will
stall the fuel pump. Water in the fuel in smaller
amounts will cause excessive wear on the pump,
but more importantly water doesn’t burn. It chills
the ame and causes smoke and unburned fuel to
pass out of the combustion chamber and clog the
ueways of the boiler.
7. COLD OIL — If the oil temperature approaching
the fuel pump is 40°F or lower, poor combustion or
delayed ignition may result. Cold oil is harder to
atomize at the nozzle. Thus, the spray droplets get
larger and the ame shape gets longer. An outside
fuel tank that is above grade or has fuel lines in a
shallow bury is a good candidate for cold oil. The
best solution is to locate the tank near the boiler in
the basement utility room or bury the tank and lines
deep enough to keep the oil above 40°F. Check
environmental issues with local authorities having
jurisdiction.
8. FLAME SHAPE — Looking into the combustion
chamber through the observation port, the ame
should appear straight with no sparklers rolling up
toward the crown of the chamber. If the ame drags
to the right or left, sends sparklers upward or makes
wet spots on the target wall, the nozzle should be
replaced. If the condition persists look for fuel leaks,
air leaks, water or dirt in the fuel as described above.
9. START-UP NOISE — Late ignition is the cause
of start-up noises. If it occurs recheck for electrode
settings, ame shape, air or water in the fuel lines.
10. SHUT DOWN NOISE — If the ame runs out of
air before it runs out of fuel, an after burn with noise
may occur. That may be the result of a faulty cut-off
valve in the fuel pump, or it may be air trapped in the
nozzle line. It may take several ring cycles for that
air to be fully vented through the nozzle. Water in the
fuel or poor ame shape can also cause shut down
noises.
NOTICE
CHECK TEST PROCEDURE. A very good test for
isolating fuel side problems is to disconnect the
fuel system and with a 24" length of tubing, re
out of an auxiliary ve gallon pail of clean, fresh,
warm #2 oil from another source. If the burner runs
successfully when drawing out of the auxiliary
pail then the problem is isolated to the fuel or fuel
lines being used on the jobsite.

DO NOT ATTEMPT to cut factory wires to install an aftermarket Low Water Cut Off (LWCO).
Only use connections specically identied for Low Water Cut Off.
In all cases, follow the Low Water Cut Off (LWCO) manufacturer's instructions.
When
A low water cutoff is required to protect a hot water
boiler when any connected heat distributor (radiation)
is installed below the top of the hot water boiler (i.e.
baseboard on the same oor level as the boiler). In
addition, some jurisdictions require the use of a LWCO
with a hot water boiler.
Where
The universal location for a LWCO on both gas and oil
hot water boilers is above the boiler, in either the supply
or return piping. The minimum safe water level of a
water boiler is at the uppermost top of the boiler; that is,
it must be full of water to operate safely.
It is recommended that the LWCO control is installed
above the boiler to provide the highest level of
protection. However, where the LWCO control is
approved by the LWCO control manufacturer for
installation in a high boiler tapping of a water boiler,
the use of the listed LWCO control is permitted when
it is installed according to the LWCO manufacturer’s
instructions.
What Kind
Typically, in residential applications, a probe type
LWCO is used instead of a oat type, due to their
relative costs and the simplicity of piping for a probe
LWCO.
connection must have a
prevent bridging between the probe and the tee. Also,
the run of the tee must have a minimum diameter to
prevent the end of the probe from touching or being
located too close to the inside wall of the run of the tee.
Ideally, manual shutoff valves should be located
above the LWCO and the boiler to allow for servicing.
This will allow probe removal for inspection without
draining the heating system. Many probe LWCO
manufacturers recommend an annual inspection of the
probe.
minimum diameter to
How to Wire
LWCO’s are available in either 120 VAC or 24 VAC
congurations. The 120 VAC conguration can be
universally applied to both gas and oil boilers by wiring
it in the line voltage service to the boiler (after the
service switch, if so equipped).
The presence of water in a properly installed LWCO
will cause the normally open contact of the LWCO to
close, thus providing continuity of the 120 VAC service
to the boiler.
It is recommended to supply power to the probe LWCO
with the same line voltage boiler service as shown
below.
How to Pipe
A “tee” is commonly used to connect the probe LWCO
to the supply or return piping, as shown below.
Select the appropriate size tee using the LWCO
manufacturer’s instructions. Often, the branch
LWCO Location

Wiring of Typical LWCO
Page 69
Appendix B: Low Water Cut-off (LWCO) on Hot Water Boilers (continued)
A 24 VAC LWCO is used primarily for gas red
boilers where a 24 volt control circuit exists within the
boiler. However, a 24 VAC LWCO can only be used
if the boiler manufacturer has provided piping and
wiring connections and instructions to allow for this
application.
How to Test
Shut off fuel supply. Lower water level until water
level is BELOW the LWCO. Generate a boiler demand
by turning up thermostat. Boiler should not attempt to
operate. Increase the water level by lling the system.
The boiler should attempt to operate once the water
level is above the LWCO.
