Prepare boiler location — contamination
1d
Table 1 Corrosive or destructive contaminants and likely locations
To prevent potential of severe personal injury or death, check for products or areas listed
below before installing boiler. If any of these contaminants are found:
• remove contaminants permanently
— OR —
• isolate boiler and provide outside combustion air. See national, provincial or local codes
for further information.
Please review the following information on potential
combustion air contamination problems. Refer to Table 1 for products and areas which may cause
contaminated combustion air.
CONSTRUCTION DUST HAZARD — Airborne particulates, such as drywall dust
or fiberglass dust, will cause blockage of the CGi burners, resulting in carbon monoxide
production, a fire hazard, or building freeze damage. If the boiler is operated during
construction, you must isolate the boiler air supply to provide clean air for combus-
tion. Follow the instruction manual guidelines for piping intake air. If you are unable
to ensure uncontaminated air in the boiler air intake at all times, you must inspect
the boiler at least once weekly . When inspecting, clean the burners if necessary using
the procedure given on page 39. Failure to follow these guidelines could result in severe
personal injury, death or substantial property damage.
