DANGERAsphyxiation Hazard. These instructions include a procedure for adjusting the air-fuel mixture on this boiler. Always use a combustion analyzer to measure the CO2 (or Oxygen) and Carbon Monoxide (CO) levels in flue gas. Adjusting the air-fuel mixture without a proper combustion analyzer will result in unreliable boiler operation, personal injury, or death due to carbon monoxide poisoning. Explosion Hazard, Electrical Shock Hazard, Burn Hazard. The gas supply shall be shut off prior to disconnecting the electrical power, before proceeding with the conversion.

WARNINGThe throttle adjustments shown in Table 7 are approximate. The final throttle setting must be found using a combustion analyzer. Leaving the boiler in operation with a CO level in excess of 200PPM air-free could result in injury or death from carbon monoxide poisoning.

WARNINGAsphyxiation Hazard. Use combustion analyzer for all gas valve adjustments. Low fire offset screw is very sensitive. Adjust offset no more than 1/8 turn before checking combustion with analyzer. Maximum total offset adjustment ± 1 turn. Adjustments greater than ± 1 turn may damage regulator diaphragm. Failure to follow these instructions could result in death, serious injury or substantial property damage.
