Tjernlund SS1 SideShot (Discontinued Version - Pre UC1 Universal Control) 8504041 Rev A 11/99 - Manual (Page 4)

CAUTIONS
1. Disconnect power supply from the SideShot and heating equipment when making wiring connections and servicing the
SideShot. Failure to do so may result in personal injury and/or equipment damage.
2. Failure to install, maintain and/or operate the SideShot in accordance with manufacturer's instructions may result in conditions
which can produce bodily injury and property damage.
3. The SideShot must be installed by a qualified installer (an individual properly licensed and/or trained) in accordance with all
local codes or, in their absence, in accordance with the appropriate National Fire Protection Association #31, #54, #211 and the
National Electrical Code.
4. Plan the vent layout so that the code required clearances are maintained from plumbing, wiring and combustible materials.
5. The SideShot motor shaft must be mounted horizontally to ensure proper operation of the Fan Proving Switch and prevent
motor bearing wear.
6. Flue gas temperatures must not exceed 650oF at SideShot inlet. Ambient temperature must not exceed 104oF.
7. Make certain power source is adequate for the SideShot requirements. Do not add the SideShot to a circuit when the total elec-
trical load is unknown.
8. "Safety Inspection of a Previously Used Appliance", pages 3 and 4 must be completed when replacing a conventional chimney
venting system or when SideShot is installed on used heating equipment.
*SAFETY INSPECTION OF A PREVIOUSLY USED OIL APPLIANCE
(Perform prior to SideShot installation)
The following procedure is intended as a guide to aid in determining that an appliance is properly installed and is in safe condition
for continuing use.
This procedure is based on central furnace and boiler installations and it should be recognized that generalized procedures
cannot anticipate all situations. Accordingly, in some cases deviation from this procedure may be necessary to determine safe
operation of the equipment.
a. This procedure should be performed prior to any attempt at modifications of the appliance or installation of the SideShot.
b. If it is determined there is a condition which could result in unsafe operation, the appliance should be shut off and the owner
advised of the unsafe condition.
The following steps should be followed in making the safety inspection:
1. Visually inspect the venting system and determine there is no blockage or restriction, leakage, corrosion or other deficiencies
which could cause an unsafe condition.
2. Inspect burner and primary control for proper operation.
3. Applicable only to furnaces: Inspect heat exchanger for cracks, openings or excessive corrosion. Check both the limit control
and fan control for proper operation.
4. Applicable only to boilers: Inspect for evidence of water or combustion product leaks. Determine that the water pumps are in
operating condition. Test low water cutoffs, automatic feed controls, pressure and temperature limit controls and relief valves in
accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations to determine that they are in operating order.
