followed in regards to the requirements for spill containment and SPCC paperwork. Oil leaks
pose slip/fall hazards, and pose a risk for fires. DO NOT USE GASOLINE OR ANY OIL
CONTAINING GASOLINE. Do not add any cleaning fluids or oil additives to the used oil
burned in this appliance. The use of unauthorized fuels will void the warranty and U.L. listing.
See section 1.5.1 for a list of allowable fuels. The end user of the boiler is responsible for
ensuring that all correct precautions are taken in managing their used oil.
Combustion Exhaust Gases: The exhaust products from the combustion are
dangerous to breathe. The boiler must be attached to a flue which properly vents the exhaust
out of the building to the atmosphere at all times, to assure safe and proper operation of the
burner. If proper draft cannot be established, changes to the building construction or a draft
inducer will be required in order to provide adequate make-up air.
Safe Maintenance: Used oil contains mineral additives and deposits called
“ash” that will not burn. Ash collects in the boiler and flue with regular use over time. Ash must
be cleaned out of the combustion chamber/heat exchanger and flue pipe on a scheduled
basis. Follow the minimum maintenance instructed in section 8. Wear proper protective
clothing; including gloves, safety glasses, and a dust mask or respirator whenever any
cleaning is performed, including the cleaning of the heat exchanger, flue piping and exhaust
stack.
Vapor/Dust Ignition: Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable liquids or
vapors near this boiler, as they may be ignited by the burner. Do not operate the boiler in dusty
or otherwise dangerous environments.
Flammable liquids: Do not create a fire or explosion hazard by using or placing
flammable liquids such as gasoline or solvents near the boiler. A flammable liquid is any liquid
that has a closed-cup flash point below 100°F (37.8°C), as determined by the test procedures
and apparatus set forth in 1.7.4 of NFPA 30.
Minimum Clearance
– Safe clearance to combustibles (Section 1.6) shall be
adhered to.
Height, Weight, Guarding and General Safe Practices: The boilers are installed
with flue systems at heights which pose a risk for injuries due to a fall. Many of the
components are heavy, and pose the risk of injury with improper lifting and handling. Always
follow safe practices and use proper equipment. Never climb on the equipment. Do not take
risks when installing or servicing the equipment. All cover plates, enclosures, and guards must
be maintained in place at all times, except during maintenance and servicing. Failure to
observe general safety rules and to follow safety rules specific to the tools and equipment used
or being worked on may result in product/property damage, personal injury or death.
