3.4 FUEL CONVERSION
The SL modulating boilers are factory re-tested to operate with natural gas, or propane
as ordered. The rating plate will be marked to indicate which fuel the particular boiler
has been set up with. Firing a boiler with a fuel other than what is listed on the rating
plate is prohibited unless the following conversion procedure is completed by a qualied
technician.
Refer to the preceding section 3.3 - COMMISSIONING. The Zero-offset valve adjustment
cap on the gas valve has been factory sealed using red paint-seal compound. This cap
must not be tampered with. The Zero-offset screw is not to be adjusted in the eld.
Fuel conversion requires hardware adjustments (orice insertion or removal) as well as
measurement and possible tuning of the gas:air mixture. Detailed instructions including parts
and labeling are found in the Fuel Conversion kits.
Fuel conversions must be carried out by a qualied technician:
1. Ensure you are installing the correct fuel conversion kit for your boiler. Compare the
boiler model number with the Kit # found in Table 8.
2. Read the fuel conversion instructions supplied with the fuel conversion kit.
3. Carefully follow the procedures of the fuel conversion instructions on:
• Fuel Conversion
• Combustion Testing and Adjustment
• Placing conversion labels associated with the new fuel onto the boiler.
4. Carefully follow the “Prior to Start-Up” – Section 3.2 and “Commissioning” – Section
3.3 procedures on the preceding pages 3-2 and 3-3.
