Operating instructions

Ifthe boiler is part of a planned heating system, locateit where
shown on your plan. Ifboiler isto be part of an existingsystem,it
is usuallybest to put it where the old one was. Ifyou plan to change
location,you willneed additional materials as wellas an adequate
base. Thefollowingrules apply:
1. Theboiler must be level.Metal shims may be used under base
legsfor finalleveling.
2. Usea raised baseif floor can becomewet or damp.
3. Thevent pipe connection should be as short as possible.
4. Additional clearancesfor servicemay exceedclearancesfor fire
protection. Alwayscomplywith the minimum fireprotection
clearancesshown on the boiler.An 18inch clearance should
be maintained on any side where passageisrequired to access
for cleaning,servicing,inspection or replacement of any part
that may need attention. An 18inch clearanceis recommended
on the control sidefor servicing. Figure 2 and Table2 shows
minimum clearances to combustible construction. Consult the
National Fuel Gas Code for further information.
5. Equipment shallbe installedin a location in which the facilities
forventilation permit satisfactorycombustion of gas,proper
venting,and maintenance of ambient temperature at safelimits
under normal conditions of use. Equipment shallbe located so
as not to interfere with proper circulation of air. When normal
infiltration does not provide the necessaryair, outside airshall
be introduced (see"Fresh Air for Combustion").
6. Adviseowner to keep air passagesfree of obstructions. Ven-
tilating and combustion air must enter boiler room without
restrictions.
.
Thefloor supporting the boiler must be noncombustible. If itis
combustible, pleaserefer to RepairParts Listfor the appropriate
Combustible Floor Basepart number. We use a 2" Cladlitepad
as a combustible floor base. Theseare availablefrom your local
supplier. Use24" x 30"pad for 2-5 section boilers,and a mini-
mum 30"x 30" pad for 6-7 sections boilers. Theboiler must be
centered on the combustible floor base.
8,
Theboiler shall be installedsuch that the automatic gas ignition
systemcomponents are protected from water (dripping, spray-
ing, rain, etc.)during appliance operation and service(circula-
tor replacement, control replacement, etc..)
