WARNING
In addition to preventing
ingestion of chemical
contaminants, care must be
taken to ensure air intake
terminals are not installed in
locations where contamination
might occur due to ingestion of
particulate foreign material (dust,
dirt and debris).
NOTE
Care must be taken when
installing air intake piping to
ensure that a “trap” is not formed
in the piping so as to allow a
build-up of water, and blockage
of intake air.
Such blockage will result in a
boiler safety shut-down.
WARNING
Intake air openings must be
congured such that rain or
other forms of moisture cannot
enter the air intake piping
system. Otherwise serious
damage to the boiler may result.
NOTE
Combustion fan blockages
can occur when environmental
particulate and foreign matter
contaminants (leaves, dust,
dandelion & cottonwood uff,
etc) are drawn into the air intake.
In areas where this problem
is suspected to be an issue,
intake air ltration should be
considered. Contact Factory.
Filters should be checked and
cleaned or replaced on a regular
schedule based on the severity
of the problem.
