GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This boiler must be grounded in accordance with the National
Electrical Code, Canadian Electrical Code and/or local codes.
Boiler is polarity sensitive; correct wiring is imperative for proper
operation.
This boiler must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent
wiring system, or an equipment grounding conductor must be
run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment
grounding terminal or lead on the boiler.
CORRECT GAS
Make sure the gas on which the boiler will operate is the same as
that speci fied on the boiler rating plate. Do not install the boiler if
equipped for a different type of gas; con sult your supplier.
PRECAUTIONS
If the unit is exposed to the following, do not operate until
all corrective steps have been made by a qualified service
technician:
1. Exposure to fire.
2. If damaged.
3. Firing without water.
4. Sooting.
If the boiler has been exposed to flooding, it must be replaced.
PROPANE OR LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM (LP) GAS
MODELS
Boilers for propane (LP) gas are different from natural gas models.
A natural gas boiler will not function safely on propane (LP) gas
and no attempt should be made to convert a boiler from natural
gas to propane (LP) gas.
Propane (LP) gas must be used with great caution. It is highly
explosive and heavier than air. It collects first in the low areas
making its odor difficult to detect at nose level. If propane (LP)
gas is present or even suspected, do not attempt to find the cause
yourself. Leave the building, leaving doors open to ventilate, then
call your gas supplier or service agent. Keep area clear until a
service call has been made.
At times you may not be able to smell an propane (LP) gas
leak. One cause is odor fade, which is a loss of the chemical
odorant that gives propane (LP) gas its distinctive smell. Another
cause can be your physical condition, such as having a cold or
diminishing sense of smell with age. For these reasons, the use
of a propane gas detector is recommended.
If you experience an out of gas situation, do not try to relight
boilers yourself. Call your local service agent. Only trained propane
(LP) professionals should conduct the required safety checks in
accordance with industry standards.
