WARNING
Boiler materials of construction, products of combustion and the fuel contain alumina, silica, heavy metals,
carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, aldehydes and/or other toxic or harmful substances which can cause
death or serious injury and which are known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects and
other reproductive harm. Always use proper safety clothing, respirators and equipment when servicing
or working nearby the boiler.
This boiler contains very hot water under high pressures. 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 and connected to an approved vent system in good condition. Do
not operate boiler with the absence of an approved vent system.
This boiler needs fresh air for safe operation and must be installed so there are provisions for adequate
combustion and ventilation air.
The interior of the venting and air intake systems must be inspected and cleaned before the start of the
heating season and should be inspected periodically throughout the heating season for any obstructions.
Clean and unobstructed venting and air intake systems are necessary to allow noxious fumes that could
cause injury or loss of life to vent safely and will contribute toward maintaining the boiler's efciency.
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/propane). 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 and disconnect two halves of Burner Swing Door Interlock wiring harness to prevent accidental
ring of burner outside the combustion chamber. Be sure to tighten swing door fastener completely and
reconnect two halves of Burner Swing Door Interlock when service is completed.
