SECTION I - GENERAL INFORMATION (Continued)
A. INSPECT SHIPMENT carefully for any signs of
damage.
1. ALL EQUIPMENT is carefully manufactured,
inspected and packed. Our responsibility ceases
upon delivery of crated boiler to the carrier in good
condition.
2. ANY CLAIMS for damage or shortage in shipment
must be filed immediately against the carrier by the
consignee. No claims for variances from, or short-
age in orders, will be allowed by the manufacturer
unless presented within sixty (60) days after the
receipt of goods.
B. LOCATE THE UNIT
1. RECOMMENDED SERVICE CLEARANCE
- Locate the unit in the boiler room so as to
provide ease of venting and adequate clearance
for maintenance, serviceability, and installation of
piping. Refer to Figure 1 for boiler dimensional
data.
FRONT — Provide 43” service clearance for
removal, maintenance, and servicing of burner and
controls.
REAR — Provide a minimum clearance from the
boiler jacket for access to flame observation port,
rear flue damper and vent piping, relief valve, and
boiler return piping. See Table III.
LEFT SIDE — Provide a minimum clearance from
the boiler jacket of 26” for cleaning of flueways and
installation and removal of tankless heater(s).
RIGHT SIDE — Provide a minimum clearance from
the boiler jacket of 12”.
TOP — Provide a minimum clearance from the
boiler jacket of 24”
NOTICE
Recommended clearance for service may be
reduced to minimum clearance to combustible
material. However, increased service and
maintenance difficulty will result.
WARNING
Boiler is suitable for installation on combustible
floor. Do not install boiler on carpeting.
Floor construction should have adequate load
bearing characteristics to bear the weight of
the boiler filled with water (see Table 1). A
boiler foundation similar to the one shown in
Figure 2 is recommended if the boiler room
floor is weak or uneven or if a water condi-
tion exists.
2. FOR MINIMUM CLEARANCES to combustible
materials, See Table II.
3. PROVIDE ADEQUATE FOUNDATION for the
unit. Refer to Figure 2.
