Tjernlund SS2 SideShot (Discontinued Version - Pre UC1 Universal Control) 8504063 Rev B 11/99 - Manual (Page 4)

CAUTIONS
1. Disconnect power supply from the SS2 and heating equipment when making wiring connections and servicing the SS2.
Failure to do so may result in personal injury and/or equipment damage.
2. Failure to install, maintain and/or operate the SS2 in accordance with manufacturer's instructions may result in conditions
which can produce bodily injury and property damage.
3. The SS2 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, #211 and the
National Electrical Code. In the absence of local codes in Canada, installations must comply with CSA Std 139 (The National
Building Code of Canada) and CSA Std 22.1 (The Canadian Electrical Code).
4. Plan the vent layout so that the code required clearances are maintained from plumbing, wiring and combustible materials.
5. Flue gas temperatures must not exceed 650oF (343oC) at SS2 inlet. Ambient temperature must not exceed 104oF (40oC).
6 Flue gas temperature at vent system inlet must be at least 250oF (121oC) during appliance steady state.
7. Make certain power source is adequate for the SS2 requirements. Do not add the SS2 to a circuit when the total electrical load
is unknown.
8. "Safety Inspection of a Previously Used Appliance", below must be completed when replacing a conventional chimney
venting system or when SS2 is installed on used heating equipment.
SAFETY INSPECTION OF A PREVIOUSLY USED OIL APPLIANCE
(Perform prior to SS2 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 SS2.
b. If it is determined there is a condition which could result in an 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.
