PRECAUTIONS  
Waste oil may contain many foreign materials. Waste oil may also contain  
gasoline. Therefore, specific precautions on the handling and storage of waste  
oils are to be observed when using, cleaning and maintaining this heater. Use a  
screen in a funnel when pouring oil into storage tank to catch foreign  
material, i.e., gasket material and sealant fibers, etc. WARNING: This  
appliance is not designated for use in hazardous atmospheres containing  
flammable vapors or combustible dust, or atmospheres containing  
chlorinated or halogenated hydrocarbons. Do not expose this unit to rain  
or moisture. If installed in high moisture atmosphere, a special cover for  
the integrated air compressor must be obtained from factory to avoid  
rusting of internal raw metals. If this occurs, see trouble-shooting guide for  
remedy. Uses only crank case oil, gear oil, hydraulic oils, auto trans. Fluid or #1  
and #2 furnace oil. Do not use old, contaminated oils that have been stored in  
underground tanks or outside barrels for long periods. Excessive water and  
sludge may be present, causing quick filter plugging.  
NOTES: The instructions contained in this manual apply to the installation,  
operation, and service of Omni Waste oil fired boiler. The following instructions  
should be carefully followed for obtaining the best possible installation, operation  
and service conditions. Specifications are subject to change without notice. This  
product was designed to provide an economical disposal of waste oil. Proper  
operation depends on the consistency of the oil. Any water or foreign material in  
the oil may cause the unit to shut down.  
This appliance is designed for commercial or industrial use only.  
UNCRATING: Immediately upon uncrating units, check rating plate for certainty  
of electrical and mechanical characteristics. Also check the unit for any damage  
that may have been incurred in shipment, if any damage is found, file a claim  
with the transporting agency. The unit has been tested and inspected at the

IMPORTANT  
NOTICE TO OWNER  
AND INSTALLER  
To enjoy the long term benefits of burning your used oil in an Omni Waste Oil Boiler, it is  
necessary to become familiar with the correct installation operation and maintenance of your new  
boiler. Before installing or operating this appliance, make sure you read and understand this  
manual.  
IMPROPER INSTALLATION OR LACK OF  
MAINTENANCE  
WILL VOID THE WARRANTY  
------------WARNING------------  
Improper Installation, adjustment, alteration service or  
maintenance can cause property damage, injury, or loss  
of life. For assistance or additional information consult  
a qualified installer or service agency. Read these  
instructions carefully before installing  
Identical to any oil burning appliance, without adequate draft over the fire, the combustion  
gases cannot escape the appliance. The flame will lengthen resulting in an overheated  
combustion chamber. Even if the heater is installed correctly and adequate draft achieved, a  
flue passage blockage will affect the draft. Burning used oil is similar to burning wood. A fine gray  
ash accumulates in the chamber and flue passage. This accumulation of ash will eventually affect  
the draft. It is important to remove this ash before the draft is affected.  
Note:  
All illustrations and specifications contained herein are based on  
the latest information available at time of publication approval.

OIL BURNER TECHNOLOGY  
Omni’s patented burner technology improves the efficiency of the oil burn process by continuous  
stabilization of the oil viscosity. Optimum atomization (spray) is accomplished by precisely pre-  
heating the oil and air prior to introduction to the combustion chamber. The waste oil enters into  
the Oil Pre-Heater Block (figure2) and is pre-heated to operating thermo setpoint, then  
compressed air from the air compressor (figure1) is mixed with the oil prior to spraying out the  
nozzle similar to fuel injection, by breaking up the oil droplets into a finer mist or spray  
(atomization). Electrodes mounted just above the nozzle (figure3) provides continuous electrical  
arc across electrode to electrode igniting the fine oil mist as it sprays out of the nozzle. Once  
ignited the flame is forced into a swirl caused by the burners blower and specially designed flame  
cone (figure3) providing a very efficient and thorough burn of the waste oil.  
Burner Components  
Igniter Transformer: (figure1) Supplies high voltage to the electrodes generating  
electrical arc igniting the oil.  
Oil Valve: (figure3) energizes when burner is running and de-energizes when burner is  
not running eliminating bleed back of oil out of the Pre-heater block.  
Air Band: (figure1) Adjusts amount of air introduced into the combustion chamber.  
Oil Primary Control: (figure1) Controls the oil burner ignition. Checks for flame in the  
combustion chamber, if no flame is detected within 45 seconds, the oil primary will  
shutdown the oil burner. To restart the unit, reset the red button on the oil primary.  
Oil Pre-Heater Block: (figure2) Pre-heats the oil and air before entering combustion  
chamber.  
Photo Eye: (figure2) Senses flame in combustion chamber and signals oil primary when  
no flame is present.  
Igniter Springs: (figure2) Transfers the high voltage from the igniter transformer to the  
electrodes (when door is closed)  
Air Pressure Gauge: (figure1) Displays air pressure supplied by onboard air  
compressor.  
Air Compressor: (figure1) Supplies air used within pre-heater block to aid in atomization  
of the oil.  
Air Muffler/Filter: (figure2) Filters air and muffles the sound generated by the  
compressor.  
Pre-Heater Control Circuit Board: (figure2) Precisely controls temperature of the Oil  
Pre-Heater Block and controls safety feature of not allowing burner to energize until oil  
has established operating thermo setpoint or shutdown burner if Pre-Heater Block  
temperature falls below shutdown thermo setpoint.  
Electrodes: (figure3) Provides continuous high voltage electrical arc from electrode to  
electrode igniting the waste oil as it is being sprayed out of the nozzle.  
Nozzle: (figure3) Low pressure nozzle for oil spray pattern.  
Flame Cone: (figure3) Specially engineered flame cone forces the flame into a swirl  
pattern improving the burn thoroughness.  
Burner Motor: (figure3) Multitask motor turns the burner blower and integrated air  
compressor.

Installation, Operation, And Service Instructions  
Air Pressure Adjuster: (figure1) Adjusts the air pressure going to the pre-heater block.  
Should be adjusted between 12 PSI and 13PSI as indicated on the Air Pressure Gauge  
on the burner for thorough burn of the waste oil.  
Note: In order to insure proper air adjustment, air gauge must read 0 when burner  
is cycled off or powered down.  
Oil Pressure Gauge: (figure1) Displays oil pressure at the burner. Adjustment at the Oil  
Pump must be made to achieve oil pressure readings at the burner as indicated below.

COMBUSTION AIR SUPPLY  
WARNING  
Failure to provide an adequate supply of fresh air for combustion will result in hazardous  
operating conditions.  
Note  
If you use a fireplace or a kitchen or bathroom exhaust fan, you should install an outside  
air intake. These devices will rob the boiler and water heater of combustion air.  
1. In unconfined spaces in buildings infiltration may be adequate to provide air for  
combustion and ventilation. However, in buildings of unusually tight  
construction, additional air must be provided as described in Item2. (b) below.  
2. Boiler located in confined space:  
[Note: Confined space may be defined as a space whose volume is less than 50  
cubic feet per 1000 Btuh of total input of all appliances installed in that space.]  
(a) All air from inside of building:  
Providing infiltration in the rest of the building is adequate, the  
confined space may be provided with two permanent openings  
communicating directly with another room or rooms of sufficient  
volume that the total volume of all spaces meets the criteria for  
unconfined space. One opening must be within 12 inches of the  
bottom of the enclosure. See Figure 7.

CHIMNEY OR VENT REQUIREMENTS  
WARNING  
Inspect existing chimney to make sure it is clean, the right size, properly constructed and  
in good condition before installing boiler. Failure to do so may cause a hazardous  
operating condition.  
NOTE  
Venting must conform with applicable local codes and for the National Board of Fire  
Underwriters.  
1. Chimney must be a Class A chimney.  
2. This is a high efficiency boiler which operates with a low stack temperature  
which may be subject to condensation in a cool or improperly designed chimney.  
Accordingly, the right vent or liner is very important.  
a) Masonry chimney with three walls exposed to outdoors may require  
the use of a 316 stainless steel liner.  
b) Masonry chimney with all inside walls—use a tile liner.  
16  
Installation, Operation, And Service Instructions  
3. Breeching  
See Table 2 for minimum recommended breeching and chimney sizes.  
Keep run boiler to chimney as short as possible.  
Use as few elbows as possible.  
Slope upward towards chimney at not less than 1/4” per foot.  
Use a sealed-in thimble for the chimney connection.  
Connect together all sections and/or fittings with sheet metal screws and  
seal with silicone sealant.  
4. When more than one appliance is connected to the same chimney, the chimney’s  
internal cross-sectional area must be at a minimum equal to the area of the largest  
vent plus 50% of the area of each additional vent.  
5. Clearances—vent pipe between boiler and chimney must be a minimum of 6”  
from any combustible material.

SIDE-WALL VENTING---IMPORTANT NOTE  
Two problems arise when side wall venting any oil appliance;  
1. There is sometimes an accelerated rate at which soot builds up on the cad-cell,  
spinner, etc.  
2. There is the potential for severe soot damage to the side of the structure in the  
event that the boiler operates at a high smoke level. This can happen for many  
reasons, some of which are out of the control of both the installer and  
appliance manufacturer.  
Econo Heat recommends the use of a chimney to vent our residential oil boilers. If a  
power venter must be used, it is the responsibility of the installer and power vent  
manufacturer to “engineer” the power vent system.  
ECONO HEAT WILL ASSUME NO REPONSIBILITY FOR SOOT DAMAGE  
TO SIDING, ETC. FROM A POWER VENTED OIL BOILER. THIS  
APPLIES REGARDLESS OF THE CAUSE OF THE SOOTING.  
LOCATING THE BOILER  
WARNING  
Boiler must not be installed in an area where gasoline, paint or other combustible  
materials or flammable vapors or liquids are present.  
1. Consider all piping and venting connections before selecting a location. Locate as  
close to the chimney as possible, observing the following clearances requirements  
from combustible surfaces:  
Front ......................24”  
Top ......................... 6” above controls  
Left Side ................. 6”  
Right Side ............... 6”  
Back ........................18”  
2. Boiler is not intended for installation on combustible floor. Further, to facilitate  
servicing it is desirable to raise the boiler at least 8” off the floor. It is  
recommended that concrete blocks be employed to build up a foundation. Ensure  
that top surface of foundation is level.  
18  
Installation, Operation, And Service Instructions  
INSTALLING THE BOILER  
Placing The Boiler (OWB-9 – OWB-25)  
1. Move the boiler as close as possible to its final location in the crate.  
2. Remove the two lag screws holding the rear feet to the skid.  
3. Remove the front jacket panel. Cut the band holding the front of the boiler to the  
skid.  
4. Move the boiler into the final position.  
5. Waste Oil Piping: USE ONLY 3/8” nominal ID copper tubing with flare fittings only on the  
oil suction from the tank to the oil pump and oil pump to burner. DO NOT use ferrule  
fittings or teflon tape on any pipe fittings. Keep suction line approximately 6” from  
bottom of oil tank to prevent suction of sludge (Figure 11). Use only an inside oil storage  
tank. Do Not draw from an outside tank, especially not an underground tank directly to  
burner. A separate transfer pump from an outside tank with proper filtration to the inside  
supply tank is acceptable.  
6. The fuel pump included with burner is to be mounted at tank level or below. PUMP MUST  
BE MOUNTED HORIZONTAL AND LOCATED NEXT TO WASTE OIL SUPPLY TANK.

BREECHING INSTALLATION  
The breeching connection on OWB-9, OWB-15 and OWB-25 is 7 inches regardless of  
input. Refer to Table 1 for minimum breeching sizes. Breeching run should be as short  
as possible with as few elbows a practical. Unless marginal draft conditions exist, a  
brametric draft control must be installed in the breeching and should be approximately 18  
inches from the boiler breeching connection. Breeching should not project into the  
chimney beyond the inside wall of the chimney. Connect the breeching to the chimney  
with a thimble or slip joint to facilitate cleaning. See Figure 12.

WATER PIPING CONNECTIONS  
1. OWB-9, OWB-15, and OWB-25 boilers are shipped complete with circulating pump.  
To make the piping connections to the boiler ready to connect to the system piping,  
the following will also be required at a minimum:  
1 – Air Purger (same size as supply pipe)  
1 – Pressure reducing Fill Valve  
1 – Expansion Tank (sized to system design requirements)  
1 – Automatic Air Vent  
2. The following accessories may also be required, depending upon overall system  
design and code requirements:  
1 – Low Water Cutoff may be required if boiler is located above radiation level.  
Check requirements of state or local code bodies and insurance companies. If  
required use a probe-type designed for water system use and install in tee in  
supply piping above the boiler.  
1 – Manual Reset High Limit----Required by some state or local codes. Also  
required if system is to comply with ASME code.  
1 – Backflow Preventer----- Required by many State and local codes.  
3. Additional circulating pumps or zone valves may also be required if the system is to  
be multi-zone or if it is to include a domestic hot water storage tank with coil.  
WARNING  
The expansion tank must be properly sized to system requirements. An under-sized  
expansion tank will cause system water to be lost through the relief valve and make-up  
water to be introduced through the fill valve. Continual introduction of fresh water into  
the system will cause mineral build-up in the boiler sections and eventual section failure.  
4. There are two types of expansion tanks used, the closed type and the pre-pressurized  
diaphragm tank Most new installations use the diaphragm type tank, however some  
installations still employ the closed type tank.  
(a) Piping Connections with closed type expansion tank----See Figure 16. Piping  
from tee in supply to tank should be 3/4 inch. If horizontal piping is  
employed, pipe must be pitched up toward tank 1/4 inch per foot.

SYSTEM PIPING  
Supply and return and system piping should be sized by determining the pressure drop,  
required flow rate and pump capacity.  
WARNING  
Discharge piping from relief valve must be piped to a drain or must terminate 6” above  
floor to eliminate damage to the structure or personal injury. It must not be piped to a  
point where freezing might occur.

2. MULTIPLE ZONING WITH CIRCULATORS -----  
Each pump will require a separate relay (Honeywell R845A or White Rodgers 829A-  
845, or equivalent). Install a flow control valve in each zone including the indirect  
water heater to prevent gravity circulation. Install a balancing valve in each zone and  
adjust so that flow in each zone is about the same. See Figure 19.  
3. RADIANT PANEL OR OTHER LOW TEMPERATURE SYSTEM----  
The temperature of the system water coming back to the return port of the boiler must  
not be permitted to drop below about 135 Degree F for an extended period of time.  
Return water temperatures of 130 Degree F or lower will cause condensation on the  
exterior surface of the heat exchanger and corrosion and eventual heat exchanger  
failure will result. Radiant floor and ceiling panel heating systems typically operate  
with maximum supply water temperatures of 140 Degree F or less. A standard piping  
arrangement would, under these circumstances, permit return water temperatures of  
120 Degree F and lower. Accordingly, such systems must be piped such that the  
return water temperature will be high enough at all times to prevent condensation.

NOTE  
Bypass A shown in figure 20. above should not exceed 12 inches in length. If it  
is not practical to maintain a 12 inch length or less then increase the pipe size of  
the bypass by one size.  
4. LARGE WATER CONTENT SYSTEMS------  
Such systems as converted gravity systems, old systems with cast iron radiators, and  
also newer systems that employ outdoor reset control present a potential problem with  
low return water temperatures and condensation. The boiler must be protected from  
condensation in such cases by using a by-pass as shown in Figure 21.

5. INTEGRATED SYSTEM (HEAT AND DOMESTIC HOT WATER) -----  
With a single heating zone priority for domestic hot water may be provided through  
the use of a 3-port zone valve. This system assures that full boiler output is available  
to recover the storage tank quickly and should be used where supply of domestic hot  
water on demand is critical.  
For this application use a full throated valve with a minimum pressure drop. See

6. INTEGRATED SYSTEM WITH MULTIPLE HEATING ZONES AND NO  
PRIORITY FOR DOMESTIC HOT WATER, USING ZONE VALVES-----  
Where the boiler output is large relative to the heating capacity of the coil in the  
indirect water heater priority for domestic hot water is not necessary. Further, with  
multiple heating zones there is less likelihood that all zones will call for heat at once  
and require full boiler output for heating. Because the tank is usually close to the  
boiler, the pressure drop through the coil circuit will generally be less than through a  
heating zone circuit, which will provide some measure of priority for domestic hot  
water. This can be enhanced by increasing the pipe size to the coil e.g. if 3/4 inch  
pipe is used on the heating zones run 1 inch pipe to the coil. (See Figure 23.) Should  
priority for domestic hot water be mandatory, it can be provided as shown in Wiring  
Section, Figure 24.

Each pump will require a separate relay (Honeywell R845A or White Rodgers 828A-

water heater to prevent gravity circulation. Install a balancing valve in each zone and  
adjust so that flow in each zone is about the same. (see Figure 24.) While this basic  
system does not provide priority for domestic hot water, priority can be provided as

Installation, Operation, And Service Instructions  
Single Zone Wiring  
WARNING  
All wiring and grounding must be done in accordance with the authority having  
jurisdiction or, in the absence of such authority, with the National Electrical Code  
(ANSI/NFPA70).  
1) 120 Volt Wiring—The boiler should be provided with its own 20A branch circuit  
with fused disconnect. All 120 volt connections are made inside the L8148A aquastat  
relay as follows (also see Fig. 31 or 32):  
Hot (“black”)- Terminal “L1”  
Neutral (“white”)- Terminal “L2”  
Ground (“Green” or bare)- Ground screw on case of L8148A  
2) Thermostat Wiring—Follow thermostat manufacturer instructions. To insure proper  
thermostat operation, avoid installation in areas of poor air circulation, hot spots (near  
any heat source or in direct sunlight), cold spots (outside walls, walls adjacent to  
unheated areas, locations subject to drafts). Provide Class II circuit between  
thermostat and boiler. Connect thermostat wire leads to terminals “T” and “T” inside  
L8148A aquastat relay.  
Wiring Variations  
1) Multiple Circulator Zones—Figure 35 shows wiring for two or more circulator zones  
using Honeywell R845As. One R845A is required for each circulator zone.  
Circulator terminals “C1” and “C2” on the L8148A are not used. A DPST  
Honeywell RA832A may be substituted in place of the R845A using the “X” and “X”  
terminals in place of the “5” and “6” terminals on a R845A. A call for heat from any  
thermostat will energize the DPST relay in that zone”s R845A. When this relay is  
energized, electrical continuity is created between terminals 3 and 4, energizing the  
circulator for that zone. At the same time, electrical continuity is created between  
terminals 5 and 6 on the R845A, creating a current path from terminal “T” to “T” on  
the L8148A. Assuming that the supply water temperature is below the high limit  
setting, the normal ignition sequence will be initiated.  
2) Multiple Zones using Zone Valves—Figure 34 shows wiring for multiple zones using  
Honeywell V8043F zone valves. This wiring diagram may be used for other 24-volt  
zone valves as long as they are equipped with end switches. Do not attempt to use the  
transformer on the L8148A to power the zone valves; use a separate transformer. Up  
to five V8043Fs may be powered by one 48VA transformer, such as the Honeywell  
AT87A. A call for heat from a given thermostat will result in the application of 24  
volts across the TH and TR terminals on the corresponding zone valve, energizing the  
zone valve motor. The zone valve opens and the end switch contacts are then made.  
The end switches are connected in parallel with each other and to the “T” and “T”  
Installation, Operation, And Service Instructions  
37  
thermostat connections so that any zone valve that opens will also start the circulator  
and fire the boiler(assuming the high limit is not open). Zone valve terminal TH/TR  
has no internal connection on the zone valve; it is merely a “binding post” used to  
connect two or more wires.

BOILER START-UP AND ADJUSTMENTS  
FILL SYSTEM  
1. Close manual air vents (if used) and automatic air vents. Attach hose to boiler drain  
on return connection and run to a drain or to outdoors. Open drain cock and close  
shutoff valve on boiler supply pipe.  
2. HEATING ONLY – SINGLE ZONE SYSTEM---  
Open manual valve in cold water feed line and set the fill valve to fast fill. Allow  
water to flow through the system and out the hose until there is a steady flow of water  
through the hose with no air bubbles.  
Next, open the shutoff valve in the drain until air bubbles cease. Then take the fill  
valve off fast fill, close the drain cock, remove the hose and open all automatic air  
vents.  
Also open all manual air vents one at a time and close when water squirts out.  
Observe the temperature/pressure gauge. System pressure with a cold fill should be  
in the 12 to 14 psi range.  
3. MULTI-ZONE SYSTEMS-HEATING ONLY OR HEAT & DOMESTIC HOT  
WATER WITH ZONE VALVES---  
To ensure good circulation through all zones with no air pockets, each zone should be  
purged of air individually. With all zone valves in the manual open position let water  
flow through the system by opening the drain cocks so water can exit the system  
through a hose as in 1. above.  
When system seems to be full and free of air, close the drain cock, and the shutoff  
valve on the boiler supply pipe, leaving the manual valve on the cold water feed open.  
Now release the manual openers to close all but one zone valve. Open the drain cock  
and put the fill valve on fast fill. When the flow through hose becomes steady with  
no air bubbles, take the fill valve off fast fill and then close the drain cock.  
Repeat this procedure with each zone until all zones have been purged. Open the  
shutoff valve on the boiler supply pipe. Then open all manual air vents one at a time.  
When water sprays out of the air vents should have the cap loosened so it can vent air.  
4. MULTI-ZONE SYSTEMS ZONED WITH CIRCULATORS---  
Following the same procedures as in 3. above using the manual shutoff valves to  
isolate a zone instead of zone valves.  
5. Check system pressure on the temperature/pressure gauge on the boiler. Pressure  
should be in the 12 to 14 psi range. If pressure is over 14 psi drain a little water out  
with the drain cock. Watch gauge for a few minutes to ensure pressure does not build  
back up. If pressure is too high with system cold there is a good possibility the relief  
valve will blow off when the system is brought up to temperature. Too high a  
pressure with the system cold indicates a faulty fill valve.

Installation, Operation, And Service Instructions  
WASTE OIL BURNER STARTUP  
WARNING  
DO NOT fire boiler without water or boiler sections will overheat and eventually crack  
6. IMPORTANT- Prior to starting the unit, pre-fill the filter and fuel line with oil to assist priming  
procedure. Oil pump motor turns at low RPM’s and would take significant time to complete  
priming process if not pre-filled. Make sure the oil supply line fittings are air tight. Vacuum  
leaks are notoriously hard to find. Pressurizing the line with oil in it can help to locate leaks.  
7. During the initial power up process the burner is locked out from energizing until the oil has  
been properly pre-heated to operating thermo setpoint, approx 3 to 5 minute duration. Once  
the oil has been pre-heated, power is then applied to burner componenets and oil pump.  
8. Making sure the thermostat is turned off, apply power to the burner. Switch burner main  
power switch to ON position. After allowing the oil pre-heater time to establish temperature  
setpoint, approximately 5 minutes. Jump the “T” terminals on the Oil Primary (Figure 1).  
Once the burner is running, temporarily jump the “F” terminals on the Oil Primary. This will  
allow the burner to run during the pump priming process.  
9. Priming the oil pump: Open bleeder valve one turn until all air is expelled (Figure 4). This  
may need to be done twice to insure all air is removed. IMPORTANT: When fully purged and  
flame is established remove temporarily jumpers on “F” terminals of the Oil Primary to allow  
safety features of the unit to operate properly.  
10. Adjust air supply of integrated air compressor to 8-12 P.S.I. This is factory preset, however,  
due to freight handling settings may be compromised.  
11. Combustion air band (Figure1) should be open approximately 1/2” or until flame is clear  
yellow, not orange. Opening the air band too far may cause delayed in starting or even  
prevent the flame from starting.  
WATER TREATMENT  
Generally no water treatment will be required. Care should be taken to ensure that the  
system does not lose water from leaks, or continual relief valve operation since continual  
make-up water will reduce boiler life.  
FREEZE PROTECTION  
Where freeze protection is required use antifreeze made especially for hydronic systems  
such as inhibited Propylene Glycol. DO NOT use automotive type antifreeze. Follow  
antifreeze manufacturer’s directions for quantity. A 50% solution provides protection to  
–30 degree F. For boiler water content see page 11.  
Installation, Operation, And Service Instructions

MAINTENANCE  
WASTE OIL BURNER:  
1. Weekly Drain water from storage tank.  
2. Monthly Clean pump screen on oil pump assembly of sludge and remove  
any water. Access to screen is by removing pump cover. Clean flame  
cone of deposits.  
3. Yearly Inspect and adjust electrodes per (figure 37). CAUTION: turn off  
main electrical power before checking or adjusting electrode  
settings. Inspect and check alignment of nozzle in relation to flame  
cone/burner tube (figure 37). Tip of nozzle must be 1/4” forward of inside  
radius of flame cone. If nozzle is behind inside radius of flame cone,  
coking will occur and flame cone can clog. To adjust, loosen Pre-Heater  
block securing nut and set screw, push fore or aft as needed then  
retighten securing nut and set screw.  
BOILER:  
1. Clean Boiler using procedure below.  
2. Check all water system piping for leaks. Repair any found.  
3. Check pressure relief valve operation by opening with manual lever. If it fails to  
relieve, replace immediately.  
4. Check operation of safety controls, low water cutoff and manual reset high limit  
(if provided).  
5. Check breeching connections to ensure there are no flue gas leaks. Seal any leaks  
found with High Temperature Silicone Sealant.  
6. Check flue gas temperature at the test point in the breeching. If gross flue gas  
temperature is 550 degrees F or above, suspect that cleaning of the boiler  
flueways is required.  
BOILER CLEANING:  
Turn off the power with the line switch. Disconnect the electrical plug at the J-Box by  
the Aquastat Relay. Remove the four hex head bolts from the outer corners of the burner  
mounting plate and swing open the burner door with burner mounted to provide access to  
the boiler flueways. Remove sludge and deposits from Stainless Steel Insert. When all  
deposits are removed, close burner door, and plug in the electrical lead, restore the power  
and turn burner on. If a boiler is to be shut down and taken out of service for a period of  
time, the boiler should be cleaned immediately upon shut down while the flueways are  
still warm. When the boiler gets cold, the deposits harden making cleaning difficult.  
Further, hardened deposits will absorb moisture and cause corrosion.  
IMPORTANT  
It is essential that the boiler be cleaned on an annual basis, even if no soot is present.  
Sulfer, and other deposits which may be present, can cause severe corrosion damage  
if they are not removed periodically.

TROUBLE-SHOOTING GUIDE  
NO HEAT:  
1. Check burner power switch and make sure power is available to the whole control  
system.  
2. If included in system, check low-water cutoff and/or manual reset high limit.  
3. Check room thermostat(s) and zone valves or pump relays (if used).  
4. Make sure there is oil in tank.  
5. Inquire if reset button on burner oil primary control has been tripped. If reset button  
continues to trip then DO NOT ATTEMPT TO START BURNER.  
Open burner door by disconnecting the plug-in lead and remove the four hex head  
bolts. Examine the combustion chamber for unburned oil and oil vapor. If present,  
clean up oil.  
With burner door open check cad cell for soot or dirt deposits, check nozzle and if  
clogged, replace with nozzle of identical make and style. Check electrodes for proper  
gap and for soot or oil deposits. Also check porcelains for cracks.  
Close burner door and re-connect electric cord. Press reset button while watching  
through the observation port. If burner fires immediately and flame looks good, cycle  
several times.  
If burner does not fire immediately, or if it fires but flame looks ragged and/or smoky,  
shut burner down and check the fuel delivery system. The problem may be air in the  
intake line so tighten all fittings and tighten the unused intake port plug. Also check  
the filter cover and gasket.  
Also check the pump filter and clean it with a brush and fuel oil or kerosene if it looks  
dirty.  
INADEQUATE HEAT:  
1. Check thermostat and heat anticipator setting. A wrong setting can cause short  
cycling and inadequate heating.  
2. Check to see if the distribution system is airbound. If pump and boiler are running  
and the pipe connection to the boiler supply port is hot, check the pipe temperature at  
the inlet to the first radiator. If it is cool or only lukewarm, then the problem is lack of  
circulation. Look for air in the system, a valve partially closed, a zone valve failed in  
the closed position, a pump failure. The most common fault is air in the system.  
RELIEF VALVE LEAKS CONSTANTLY:  
1. Check system pressure. With system hot, pressure should be in the 20 psi to 25 psi  
range, not to exceed 25 psi. With system cold, pressure should be in the 12-14 psi  
range. If pressure is over these ranges, then suspect the pressure reducing fill valve or  
the expansion tank. A diaphragm tank may be too small, may have a ruptured  
diaphragm (this would cause a very sharp rise in pressure as system water heats up  
and a sudden opening of the relief valve) or may be over-pressurized. A closed type  
expansion tank may be undersized, may be improperly piped to the boiler, may be  
water logged.  
2. Relief valve may be defective, or it may have foreign material lodged on the seat.
