 WARNING

Throttle adjustments shown in Table 2 are approximate. The fi nal throttle setting must be found using a 

combustions analyzer. Leaving the Boiler in operation with a CO level in excess of 200PPM air-free could 

result in injury or death from carbon monoxide poisoning. Leaving the Boiler in operation with a CO

2

 level 

outside of the range shown in Table 3 could also result in injury or death from carbon monoxide poisoning, 

even if the Boiler is operating at an air-free CO level below 200PPM during this adjustment procedure.
If the throttle is very far out of adjustment on the “rich” (counter-clockwise) side, the Boiler burner may 

be running at 0% excess air or even with a air defi ciency. Operating the Boiler in this condition may cause 

property damage, personal injury or loss of life. Under these conditions, most combustion analyzers used 

in the fi eld will show 0% O

2

 and a very high (over 1000PPM) CO. Combustion readings will also appear to 

be unresponsive to throttle adjustment. If the Boiler appears to be operating under this condition, turn the 

throttle screw clockwise until the fl ame lengthens signifi cantly and is mostly blue. Then, slowly turn the 

throttle counter-clockwise, using a combustion analyzer to achieve the required CO

2

 as described in these 

instructions.
