Installation or repairs made by unqualified persons
can result in hazards to you and others. Installation
MUST conform with codes or, in the absence of
local codes, with codes of the country having
jurisdiction.
The information contained in this manual is
intended for use by a qualified service technician
familiar with safety procedures and equipped with
the proper tools and test instruments.
Failure to carefully read and follow all instructions
in this manual can result in furnace malfunction,
property damage, personal injury and/or death.
WARNINGWARNING
Fire hazard
The furnace must be installed in a level position,
never where it will slope to the front.
If the furnace were installed in that position, oil
could drain into the furnace vestibule and create a
fire hazard, instead of draining properly into the
combustion chamber.
NOTE: It is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer
to contact a qualified installer to ensure that the installation is
adequate and conforms to governing codes and ordinances.
a. This furnace is NOT approved for installation in mobile homes,
trailers or recreation vehicles.
b. You must have a sufficient supply of fresh air for combustion and
ventilation to the area in which the furnace is located.
c. Do NOT use this furnace as a construction heater or to heat a
building that is under construction.
d. Use only the Type of fuel oil approved for this furnace (see
Rating Plate on unit). Overfiring will result in failure of heat
exchanger and cause dangerous operation.
e. Visually check all oil line joints for signs of wetness, which would
indicate a leak.
f. Connect furnace to the chimney.
g. The points in Part 2 “Operation” are vital to the proper and safe
operation of the heating system. Take the time to be sure they
are all done.
