SC Series Boilers – Installation and Service Manual

1 ABOUT OUR MANUALS

Your Super Hot boiler has been provided with two manuals:

• User's Information Manual - This manual is intended for the owner or user of the boiler and provides
information on routine operation and maintenance, and emergency shutdown.

• Installation and Service Manual - This manual must only be used by a qualified heating installer,
service technician or gas supplier. Installation or service by anyone unqualified to do so may

result in severe personal injury, death or substantial property damage.

Both manuals should be kept in the envelope provided and affixed adjacent to the boiler so that they are
readily available for future reference.

2 LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS

This boiler is always equipped with an ignition device which automatically and directly lights the main
burners (there is no pilot burner).

There are two possible ignition systems:

1. direct spark ignition with combination gas valve (equipped with gas control knob) and module.

2. hot surface ignition with combination gas valve (equipped with gas control knob) and module.

The lighting instructions shown in this section apply to both ignition systems. In addition, the lighting
instructions have been printed on a label attached to the boiler. If you are unsure which type of gas valve
or ignition system your boiler is equipped with, check the wiring diagram sticker on the boiler or contact
the factory.

WARNING

Should boiler overheat, or the gas supply fail to shut off, do not turn off or disconnect the
electrical supply to the circulating pump. Instead, shut off the gas supply at a location external
to the boiler.

3 AREA AROUND BOILER

Keep boiler area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and
liquids.

Do not store anything against the boiler or allow dirt or debris to accumulate in the area immediately
surrounding the boiler. It is unsafe for the flow of supply and exhaust air to be obstructed in any way.

Should your boiler be subjected to fire, flood or some other unusual condition, turn off all gas and
electrical supply. If you are unable to turn off the gas, call your gas company or gas supplier at once. Do
not put the boiler in operation again until it has been ascertained by a qualified agency that the controls
are functioning correctly. The installer should always clearly identify the emergency shut-off devices and
make the owner aware of their location and method of operation.

WARNING

Do not use this boiler if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualified service
technician to inspect the boiler and to replace any part of the control system and any gas
control which has been under water.

4 CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS

To identify gas leaks, smell for gas around boiler area and gas piping connections. To check a specific
area, including the manifold joint connected to the gas valve outlet, for leakage, spray a mixture of soap
and water onto the suspected area – active bubbling indicates a gas leak. DO NOT TEST FOR LEAKS
WITH AN OPEN FLAME.

Propane or liquefied petroleum (LP) is heavier than air may collect or "pool" in a low area in the event of a
leak from defective equipment. This gas may then ignite resulting in a fire or explosion. Smell near to the
ground and low points when checking for propane gas leaks.

If you smell gas, STOP! Follow "A" in the safety instructions in Section 2. Gas leaks must be repaired
immediately.

5 CORROSIVE ATMOSPHERES

If a gas boiler is to be installed near a corrosive or potentially corrosive air supply, the boiler should be
isolated from it and outside air should be supplied.

Chemical vapors from products containing chlorine or fluorine must be avoided. Even though these
chemicals may be safe to breathe, corrosive substances can become liberated when passed through a
gas flame. Even at low concentrations, these chemicals can significantly contaminate the air supply and
shorten the life of any gas-fired appliance. The following is a list of some of the products which should be
avoided:

• bleaches and chlorinated cleaning products

• paints and sprays

• water softeners (calcium or sodium chloride)

• leaking refrigeration equipment

• freon from common aerosol dispensers

These chemicals are especially commons near swimming pools, beauty shops, dry cleaning
establishments, laundry areas, workshops, and garages. The warranty is void when failure is due to

corrosion.
