SECTION 3. Lighting the Boiler
Safe lighting and other performance criteria were
met with the gas manifold and control assembly pro-
vided on the boiler when the boiler underwent tests
specified in ANSI-Z21.13a 1983 Standard.
CAUTION: Liquefied petroleum gas is heavier than air
and sinks to the ground. Exercise extreme care in
lighting boiler in confined areas.
For Standing Pilot Models
WARNING: If you do not follow these instructions
exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing property
damage, personal injury or loss of life.
A. This boiler has a pilot which must be lighted by
hand. When lighting the pilot, follow these instructions
exactly.
B. BEFORE LIGHTING Smell all around the boiler
area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor because
some gas is heavier than air and will settle on the floor.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS
Do not try to light any appliance.
Do not touch any electric switch;
Do not use any phone in your building.
Immediately call your gas supplier from a
neighbor's phone. Follow the gas supplier's
instructions.
If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the
fire department.
C. Use only your hand to push in, move or turn the gas
control knob or lever. Never use tools. If the knob or
lever will not push in, move or turn by hand, don't try to
repair it, call a qualified service technician. Force or
attempted repair may result in a fire or explosion.
D. 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.
