Failure to adhere to the guidelines on this page can result in se-
vere personal injury, death or substantial property damage.
Boiler service and maintenance —
• To avoid electric shock, disconnect electrical supply before per-
forming maintenance.
• To avoid severe burns,
allow boiler to cool before performing main-
tenance.
• You must maintain the boiler as outlined in the manual and have the
boiler
started up and serviced at least annually by a qualified
service technician
to ensure boiler/system reliability.
Boiler operation —
• Do not block flow of combustion or ventilation air to boiler. This
boiler is equipped with a control which will automatically shut down
the boiler should air or vent be blocked. If vent or air blockage is
easily accessible and removable, remove it. The boiler should attempt
to restart within an hour. If blockage is not obvious or cannot be re-
moved, have the boiler and system checked by a qualified service tech-
nician.
• Should overheating occur or gas supply fail to shut off, do not
turn off or disconnect electrical supply to pump. Instead, shut off
the gas supply
at a location external to the appliance.
• Do not use this boiler if any part has been under water. Immedi-
ately 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.
• Have the building monitored when it is vacant for an extended
period. Safety controls can shut down the boiler at any time. The loss
of heat can result in significant damage due to freezing.
Boiler water —
• DO NOT use petroleum-based cleaning or sealing compounds in
boiler system. Water seal deterioration will occur, causing leakage be-
tween sections and damage to heating system components. This can
result in substantial property damage.
• DO NOT use "homemade cures" or "boiler patent medicines".
Serious damage to boiler, personnel and/or property may result.
• Continual fresh makeup water will reduce boiler life. Mineral build-
up in sections reduces heat transfer, overheats cast iron, and causes
section failure. Addition of oxygen and other gases can cause internal
corrosion. Leaks in boiler or piping must be repaired at once to pre-
vent makeup water.
• Do not add cold water to hot boiler. Thermal shock can cause sec-
tions to crack.
