Remove boiler from wood pallet
1. After removing the outer shipping carton from the boiler,
remove the parts box.
2. Remove the front door to access the lag bolts in front of
the unit (FIG. 2-1).
3. To remove the boiler from the pallet (after removing the
front door):
a. Remove the two lag bolts from the wood pallet
inside the boiler (FIG. 2-1).
b. Detach the boiler from the lag bolts in the rear of the
unit, see FIG. 2-1.
Do not drop the boiler or bump the jacket
on the fl oor or pallet. Damage to the boiler
can result.
For a boiler already installed, you must
turn off gas supply, turn off power and
allow boiler to cool before proceeding.
You must also completely test the boiler
after conversion to verify performance
as described under Start-up, Section 10
of this manual. Failure to comply could
result in severe personal injury, death, or
substantial property damage.
For the 400 Model you must install a
propane orifi ce to operate the Knight XL
on propane gas. Verify when installing that
the orifi ce size marking matches boiler size
(Model 400 - 8.0 LP orifi ce stamping).
Models 501 - 801 do not require an orifi ce
installation for propane operation, but
they will require a valve adjustment.
