RECAUTIONS
Provide a suitable location for the boiler, away from normal personnel traffic, with adequate working space, adequate
clearances, proper ventilation and lighting, with a structure sufficiently strong and rigid to support the weight of the
boiler, all piping, and accessories.
2.5.1 Electrical
Hazards
•
Shock hazard! Properly lockout/tagout the electrical service and all other
energy sources before working on or near the boiler.
•
Shock hazard! Do not spray water directly on this boiler or on any electrical
components.
•
Electrical hazard! Do not alter wiring connections.
2.5.2
Burn, Fire, and Explosion Hazards
•
Burn, fire, and explosion hazards! Installation must be in strict conformance to all
applicable codes and standards including NFPA 54, ANSI Z223.1 and CAN/CSA
B.149. Install all required vent lines for gas devices. Refer to Section 3.6.
•
Hazard from incorrect fuels! Possible fire, explosion, overheating, and damage. Do
not use any fuels except the design fuels for the unit.
•
Overfire hazards! High pressure in gas supply could result in overfiring of this or other
devices supplied from the same source.
•
Fire and explosion hazards! Close the main gas shutoff before servicing boiler.
•
Fire and explosion hazards! Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors
or liquids in the vicinity of this or any other gas fired appliance.
•
Burn hazard! Possible hot surfaces. Do not touch gas vent during firing operation.
Use only factory recommended vent components.
•
Burn hazard! Pipes, vents, and boiler components could be hot. Do not touch piping
or stack surfaces during operation or immediately after shutdown of the boiler.
•
Burn hazard! Hot fluids. Use caution when servicing or draining boiler.
•
Fire and explosion hazards! Use caution when servicing burner. Propane (LPG) is heavier than air and may
linger in the combustion chamber, vent lines, or elsewhere.
•
Gas leak hazard! Make sure the burner is installed correctly and blower/transition is securely fastened following
any maintenance performed on them. These connections may leak gas if assembled incorrectly.
•
Gas leak hazard! All threaded gas connections must be made using a pipe compound that is resistant to liquefied
petroleum gas.
Do not
use Teflon
™
tape on threaded gas piping.
•
Gas leak hazard! Check entire gas train for leaks after installation. If there is a smell of gas, shut down the boiler
and obtain immediate assistance from trained service personnel and/or your local fire department.
•
Overfire hazard! Possible fire and explosion from excess gas pressure. Make sure that gas inlet pressure does
not exceed 14 inches W.C.
•
Overfire hazard! Possible fire and explosion. Possible malfunction of regulators and/or gas safety shut off /
control valves. Maintain all gas train components in good condition. Do not alter wiring connections. Annual
inspection by factory-trained personnel for proper set-up and operation is recommended.
•
Overfire and underfire hazards! Possible fire, explosion, overheating, and component failure. Do not attempt to
adjust firing rate of the boiler. The firing rate must be adjusted
only
by factory trained personnel.
