GS110 DIRECT VENT BOILER INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS Page 27
INSTRUCTIONS TO THE INSTALLER
The INSTALLER must give this copy of the INSTAL-
LATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS to the
boiler owner and make sure that the owner or operator
has a basic understanding of the following:
1. The operating instructions, the type of ignition
system installed and how it operates.
2. What the labels on the boiler say.
3. How to start up and shut off the boiler.
4. How to turn the gas and electrical power on or off.
5. What to do if the boiler ignition system locks out.
6. Where to check the system temperature and
pressure and what they should be.
7. The importance of reading, understanding and
following these instructions.
8. The importance of visually inspecting the vent
system on a monthly basis.
The INSTALLER MUST make sure that the owner
knows to shut the boiler off and call for service if the
following conditions occur:
1. Yellow lazy flames or flames outside the jacket.
2. Gas smell or other strange odors.
3. Discoloration of the boiler or surrounding materials.
4. Water leaking from the heating system piping or
relief valve.
5. Flue products leaking from the vent system into the
living space. Dampness or condensation in the
building is a good indicator of this condition.
6. The boiler's flame rollout safety system is actuated.
7. Control malfunction or sporadic operation.
Any appliance that burns natural gas, propane gas, fuel
oil, wood or coal is capable of producing carbon
monoxide (CO). Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a gas, which
is odorless, colorless and tasteless but is very toxic. If
your Smith boiler is not working properly, or is not vented
properly, dangerous levels of CO may accumulate. CO
is lighter than air and thus may travel throughout the
building.
BRIEF EXPOSURE TO HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF
CO, OR PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO LESSER
AMOUNTS OF CO MAY RESULT IN CARBON MON-
OXIDE POISONING! EXPOSURE CAN BE FATAL
AND EXPOSURE TO HIGH CONCENTRATIONS MAY
RESULT IN THE SUDDEN ONSET OF SYMPTOMS
INCLUDING UNCONSCIOUSNESS.
Symptoms of CO poisoning include the following:
Dizziness, vision problems, shortness of breath,
headaches, loss of muscle control, unclear thinking,
nausea, weakness and unconsciousness.
The symptoms of CO poisoning are often confused with
those of influenza, and the highest incidence of
poisoning occurs at the onset of cold weather or during
flu season. A victim may not experience any symptoms,
only one symptom, or a few symptoms. Suspect the
presence of carbon monoxide if symptoms tend to
disappear when you leave your home.
The following signs may indicate the presence of carbon
monoxide:
• Hot gases from appliance, venting system, pipes or
chimney, escaping into the living space.
• Flames coming out around the appliance.
• Yellow colored flames in the appliance.
• Stale or smelly air.
• The presence of soot or carbon in or around the
appliance.
• Very high unexplained humidity inside the building.
If any of the symptoms of CO poisoning occur, or if any
of the signs of carbon monoxide are present, VACATE
THE PREMISES IMMEDIATELY AND CONTACT A
QUALIFIED HEATING SERVICE COMPANY OR THE
GAS COMPANY OR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT!
