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 a side-wall terminal or 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.
h. Follow the rules of the NFPA Pamphlet No.31 (for
USA) and B-139 (for Canada) or local codes for
locating and installing the oil storage tank.
i. Follow a regular service and maintenance schedule
for efficient and safe operation.
j. Before servicing, allow furnace to cool. Always shut
off electricity and fuel to furnace when servicing.
This will prevent electrical shock or burns.
k. Seal supply and return air ducts.
I. The vent system MUST be checked to determine
that it is the correct type and size.
m. Install correct filter type and size.
n. Unit MUST be installed so electrical components
are protected from direct contact with water.
2.1) Safety Rules:
Your unit is built to provide many years of safe and
dependable service providing it is properly installed and
maintained. However, abuse and/or improper use can
shorten the life of the unit and create hazards for you,
the owner.
a. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission
recommends that users of oil-burning appliances
install carbon monoxide detectors. There can be
various sources of carbon monoxide in a building or
dwelling. The sources could be gas-fired clothes
dryers, gas cooking stoves, water heaters,
furnaces, gas-fired fireplaces, wood fireplaces, and
several other items. Carbon monoxide can cause
serious bodily injury and/or death. Therefore, to
help alert people of potentially dangerous carbon
monoxide levels, you should have carbon monoxide
detectors listed by a nationally recognised agency
(e.g. Underwriters Laboratories or International
Approval Services) installed and maintained in the
building or dwelling (see Note).
b. There can be numerous sources of fire or smoke in
a building or dwelling. Fire or smoke can cause
serious bodily injury, death, and/or property
damage. Therefore, in order to alert people of
potentially dangerous fire or smoke, you should
have fire and smoke detectors listed by
Underwriters Laboratories installed and maintained
in the building or dwelling (see Note below).
NOTE: The manufacturer of your furnace does not test
any detectors and makes no representations regarding
any brand or type of detector.
CAUTION
Insure that the area around the combustion air
intake terminal is free of snow, ice and debris.
CAUTION
The air pressure switch MUST be used when
the furnace is vented by the side-wall.
CAUTION
Do not use any commercially available soot
remover. This furnace has fiber type
refractory combustion chamber. Normal
servicing of this unit does not require
cleanings of the combustion chamber. Use
extreme care if for any reason you have to
work in the area of the combustion chamber.
2.2) Freezing Temperatures and Your
Structure:
Freeze warning.
Turn off water system.
If your unit remains shut off during cold
weather the water pipes could freeze and
burst, resulting in serious water damage.
Your unit is equipped with safety devices that may keep
it from operating if sensors detect abnormal conditions
such as clogged exhaust flues.
If the structure will be unattended during cold weather
you should take these precautions.
