STA-RITE SR333LP - Manual (Page 3)

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS ( Continued )
This appliance is equipped with an uncon-
ventional gas control valve that is factory set with a mani-
fold pressure of -.2 inches wc. Improper installation,
adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause
property damage, personal injury or loss of life.
Installation or service must be performed by a qualified
installer, service agency or the gas supplier. If this control is
replaced, it must be replaced with an identical control.
Do not attempt to adjust the gas flow by adjusting the reg-
ulator setting.
Risk of fire or explosion from incorrect fuel
use or faulty fuel conversion. Do not try to run a heater set
up for natural gas on propane gas or vice versa. Only qual-
ified service technicians should attempt to convert heater
from one fuel to the other.
Do not attempt to alter the rated input or type of gas by
changing the orifice. If it is necessary to convert to a different
type of gas, consult your Sta-Rite dealer. Serious malfunction
of the burner can occur which may result in loss of life. Any
additions, changes, or conversions required in order for the
appliance to satisfactorily meet the application needs must be
made by a Sta-Rite dealer or other qualified agency using
factory specified and approved parts.
The heater is available for use with natural gas. It can be
converted to propane gas. Refer to the nameplate for the
type of gas the heater is equipped to use.
• Use this heater only with natural gas. Do not attempt to
convert it to another type of gas.
• If propane gas is the only available fuel, have a qualified
service technician convert the heater to propane before
putting heater into operation.
Risk of fire or explosion from flammable
vapors. Do not store gasoline, cleaning fluids, varnishes,
paints, or other volatile flammable liquids near heater or in
the same room with heater.
Risk of fire, carbon monoxide poisoning, or
asphyxiation if exhaust venting system leaks. Only quali-
fied service technicians should attempt to service the
heater, as leakage of exhaust products or flammable gas
may result from incorrect servicing.
Risk of explosion if unit is installed near
propane gas storage. Propane (LP) gas is heavier than air.
Consult local codes and fire protection authorities about
specific installation requirements and restrictions. Locate
the heater away from propane gas storage and filling equip-
ment as specified by the Standard for the Storage and
Handling of Liquified Petroleum Gases, CAN/CSA B149.2
(latest edition) or ANSI/NFPA 58 (latest edition).
Risk of asphyxiation if exhaust is not correct-
ly vented. Follow venting instructions exactly when
installing heater. Do not use a draft hood with this heater,
as the exhaust is under pressure from the burner blower
and a draft hood will allow exhaust fumes to blow into the
room housing the heater.
The heater is supplied with an integral venting system for
outdoor installation. A vent conversion kit (See Page 14 for
Part Numbers for Conversion Kits) is available for installa-
tions in enclosures (Canada) or indoors (U.S.). Use the
specified venting, and only the specified venting, when
heater is installed in an enclosure or indoors. In Canada,
this pool heater can only be installed outdoors or in an
enclosure that is not normally occupied and does not
directly communicate with occupied areas. See Page 11 for
enclosure venting requirements.
Label all wires prior to disconnection when
servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and
dangerous operation. Wiring errors can also destroy the
control board.
Connect heater to 120 or 240 Volt, 60 Hz., 1 Phase power
only.
Verify proper operation after servicing.
Do not allow children to play on or around heater or asso-
ciated equipment.
Never allow children to use the pool or spa without adult
supervision.
Read and follow other safety information contained in this
manual prior to operating this pool heater.
GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS/
REQUIREMENTS
NOTICE: Combustion air contaminated by corrosive chemi-
cal fumes can damage the heater and will void the warranty.
NOTICE: The Combination Gas Control Valve on this
appliance differs from most appliance gas controls. If it
must be replaced, for safety reasons replace it only with an
identical gas control.
NOTICE: The jacket covers must be in place to provide
proper ventilation. Do not operate the heater for more than
five (5) minutes with the jacket covers removed.
This heater is design certified by CSA International as com-
plying with the Standard for Gas Fired Pool Heaters, ANSI
Z21.56* CSA 4.7, and is intended for use in heating fresh
water swimming pools or spas.
NOTICE: Do not use this heater as a heating boiler, water
heater, or for heating salt-water pools. This heater is
intended for use in heating fresh water swimming pools or
spas only.
The heater requires an external 120 or 240 VAC single-
phase electric power source.
The heater is design certified by CSA International for
installation on combustible flooring. Specified minimum
clearances must be maintained to combustible surfaces
(see “Installation Instructions”, Pages 9 and 10).
The heater should be located in an area where leakage of
the heater or connections will not result in damage to the
area adjacent to the heater or to the structure. When such
locations cannot be avoided, it is recommended that a suit-
able drain pan, adequately drained, be installed under the
heater. The pan must not restrict air flow.
