1. Installer must be a trained, experienced technician and should read all instructions before
installation.
2. Inspect the boiler, jacket and all components to be sure damage has not occurred in shipment. If
damage is evident, do not install the boiler. Contact your distributor immediately. A claim must be
filed with the freight carrier that transported the boiler from the factory to the distributor.
3. Disconnect power supply before connecting wiring.
4. Refer to local codes for oil burning equipment, for recommended installation practice. You will
need to be familiar with NFPA International Standard 31, “Standard for the Installation of Oil
Burning Equipment”.
5. A complete heat loss calculation is necessary to choose the proper size unit to install. The boiler
should be sized to within 25% of the actual heat loss of the structure. Over sizing will result in
short cycling and inefficient operation.
6. When moving the boiler, do not push against the jacket or burner. Damage will result.
7. If the boiler is vented to a chimney, be certain the chimney is clean and free of obstructions. The
chimney must be masonry with tile lining or metal insulated with a stainless steel surface. The
chimney must be properly sized. Draft requirements are essential for safe and proper operation of
the boiler.
8. If the boiler is connected to a venting device, make sure that it is listed by a recognized testing
service. Follow the venting device manufacturer’s installation instructions. Verify that the venting
device installation complies with the recommendations of the manufacturer and local and state
codes.
9. Conduct a thorough checkout when installation is complete. Check for indications of leaks and
make sure that no material is left adjacent to the boiler.
10. The use of low sulfur No. 2 heating oil is highly recommended.
11. Modification, substitution or elimination of factory equipped, supplied or specified components
may result in property damage, personal injury or the loss of life.
