General Information

1A. Introduction

This manual contains installation, operation and

maintenance instruction for the Mighty Max hydronic
boiler, Model HH, sizes 320M, 400M, 520M, 625M,
775M and 1000M. Review all application and
installation procedures completely before proceeding
with the installation. Consult the local factory
representative or Laars factory with any questions
regarding this equipment. Experience has shown that
most operating problems are caused by improper
installation. The HH boilers are offered in an indoor
version and an outdoor version (see Figure 1). Table 1
lists the input/output ratings for each boiler size.

The indoor version is convertible for outdoor use

with the installation of a conversion kit. See Section 6,
Parts List, for part number.

1B. Warranty

The Mighty Max HH boilers are sold with a

limited factory warranty. Details are specified on the
back cover of this manual.

Make all warranty claims to an authorized Laars

representative or directly to the factory. Claims must
include the heater serial number and model number
(this information can be found on the rating plate),
installation date, and name of the installer. Shipping
costs are not included in the warranty coverage.
