INTRODUCTION This boiler cannot be used with all types of chimneys. Read these instructions carefully before installing. These Gas-Fired Hot Water Boilers are low-pressure, sectional cast iron boilers design certified by the American Gas Association (A.G.A.) and Canadian Gas Association (C.G.A.) for use with natural and propane gases. They are constructed and hydrostatically tested for a maximum working pressure of 50 psi in accordance with the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (A.S.M.E.)

INSTALLATION—SYSTEM PIPING 1. Place boiler in selected location (as close to chimney as possible). Boiler is shipped assembled. Only the relief valve with a drain line to carry any water to a drain and a drain valve need to be installed. 2. Install relief valve on 3/4-in. pipe nipple in tapped opening in left end section. Connect a drain line of same pipe size (3/4 in.) to carry any water away to a drain. No shutoff of any description shall be placed between safety relief valve and boiler, or on

3. Boiler installation site experiences gusting or high winds. A power venter can help prevent the boiler from short cycling due to gusting or high winds by providing vent exhaust pressures greater than the boiler’s induced draft blower alone. 4. When installer or homeowner prefers a negative pressure vent system instead of a positive pressure vent system. 5. May be more cost effective than stainless steel venting, particularly at longer vent lengths. The Fields Controls power vent kit includes

4. Install a sediment trap upstream of gas controls. 5. Use 2 pipe wrenches when making connection to gas valve to keep it from turning. 6. Install a manual shutoff valve in vertical pipe about 5 ft above floor. 7. Tighten all joints securely. 8. Propane gas connections should only be made be a licensed propane installer. 9. Two-stage regulation should be used by propane installer. 10. Propane gas piping should be checked be propane installer. PROCEDURE 3—CHECKING GAS PIPING Upon completion of p

PROCEDURE 9—CIRCULATING PUMP Every forced hot water system requires a circulating pump. A separate pump or zone valve is required for each zone if there are 2 or more zones. This pump must have the capacity to provide circulation required by system. The pump is connected into return main just ahead of boiler and wired to electrical system. PROCEDURE 10—BLOWER (DRAFT INDUCER) The blower provides a means for pulling air through boiler and exhausting flue gases into vent system. The blower shuts of

BEFORE OPERATING, smell all around appliance area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor because some gas is heavier than air and will settle on the floor. WARNING: IF YOU SMELL GAS: • Do not attempt to operate any appliance; do not touch any electric switch; do not use any phone in your building. • Leave the building immediately and call your gas supplier. • If your gas supplier cannot be reached, call the fire department. WARNING: When turning gas control knob, use only your hand to turn

MAINTAINING BOILER PROCEDURE 1—BURNERS A visual check of pilot and main burner flames should be made at least once each year, preferably at beginning of heating season. See Checking and Adjusting section and Fig. 9, 11, and 12. Main burner flame should form a sharp blue cone with no yellow. PROCEDURE 2—RELIEF VALVE This valve should open automatically when system pressure exceeds pressure rating (usually 30 psi) of relief valve. Should it ever fail to open under this condition, shut down system.

12. Be sure to check tightness of pilot connections and condition of burner flames after reassembly. (See Fig. 11.) 13. Be sure vent pipe connections to chimney are secure and no obstructions are present. PROCEDURE 8—BLOWER The blower motor features permanently lubricated ball bearing construction. Lubrication is not required. SERVICE HINTS You may avoid inconvenience and service calls by checking these points before you call for service. FOR YOUR SAFETY WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS 1. Do not try
