SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Installing and servicing heating equipment can be hazardous due to
gas and electrical components. Only trained and qualified person­
nel should install, repair, or service heating equipment.
When working on heating equipment, observe precautions in the
literature, tags, and labels attached to or shipped with the unit and
other safety precautions that may apply.
Follow all safety codes. In the United States, follow all safety
codes including the National Fuel Gas Code NFPA No. 54-
1988/ANSI Z223.1-1988. Wear safety glasses and work gloves.
Have fire extinguisher available during start-up and adjustment
procedures and service calls.
Recognize safety information. This is the safety-alert symbol ^ .
When you see this symbol on the unit and in instructions or
manuals, be alert to the potential for personal injury,
Understand the signal word DANGER, WARNING, or CAU­
TION. These words are used with the safety-alert symbol. DAN­
GER identifies the most serious hazards which will result in severe
personal injury or death. WARNING signifies hazards that could
result in personal injury or death. CAUTION is used to identify
unsafe practices which would result in minor personal injury or
product and property damage.
These instructions cover minimum requirements and conform to
existing national standards and safety codes. In some instances,
these instructions exceed certain local codes and ordinances,
especially those that may not have kept up with changing residen­
tial construction practices. We require these instructions as a
minimum for a safe installation.
INTRODUCTION
Model 61SW is a low-pressure, sectional, cast-iron water boiler.
The design of model 61SW is certified by A.G.A. for use with
natural and propane gases (model 61SWC with natural gas and
61SWE with propane gas). It is tested for a maximum working
pressure of 50 psi on water in accordance with American Society
-of—Mechanical—Engineers-(A.S.M.E..)—Code_IM_Standards_for_
cast-iron boilers. It is to be installed indoors only. All boilers are
factory assembled.

INSTALLATION
£k CAUTION
Do not install the boiler in a corrosive or contaminated
"atmosphere. Make~sure~ all”combustion“and“circulating-air
“All installations are subjectTo Codes established by localTitiiities or
other authorities having jurisdiction. This jurisdiction normally
covers electrical wiring, gas piping, flue specification, and insula­
tion of adjacent combustible material where required clearances
cannot be maintained. The installation must conform with the
National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA No. 54-1988/ANSI Z223.1-1988.
Where required by the authority having jurisdiction, the installa­
tion must conform to the American Society of Mechanical Engi­
neers’ Safety Code for Controls and Safety Devices for Automat­
ically Fired Boilers, No. CSD-1.
requirements are adhered to, in addition to all local codes and
ordinances.
Do not use this boiler during construction when adhesives,
"sealersrand/or new carpets are being installed-If-lhe-boiler-is-
required during construction, use clean outside air for com­
bustion and ventilation. Compounds of chlorine and fluorine
when burned with combustion àirïbim“aci3swKiclrwill cause
corrosion of the sections and metal vent systems. Some of
these compounds are found in paneling and dry wall adhe­
sives, paints, thinners, masonry cleaning materials, and many
other solvents commonly used in the construction process.
Step 1—Location
1. The boiler must be installed on a level foundation. Metal
shims may be used to level if required. Locate the boiler near
a gas vent or a chimney.
Manufacturer reserves the right to discontinue, or change at any time, specifications or designs without notice and without incurring obligations.
