e) Install new pressure regulator adjustment screw
until it is flush with the top of the casting.
f) After e) above, turn adjustment screw clockwise
as follows:
Propane Gas — 5-
3
⁄
4
full turns
Natural Gas — 6 full turns
g) Install the NEW cap screw.
h) Place the gas valve conversion label from the
Honeywell kit over the gas valve model number.
3.
Pilot Burner Conversion
a) Disconnect pilot line from gas valve.
b) Disconnect flame sensor.
Standing pilot— disconnect thermocouple from
gas valve.
Intermittent ignition — disconnect ignition wire
from S8600 ignition control.
c) BE SURE BURNERS ARE COOL BEFORE
CONTINUING. NOTE LOCATION OF BURNER
WITH PILOT. REMOVE THE BURNER RETAINER
CLIP OF THE PILOT-BURNER. REMOVE THE
BURNER. DISCONNECT THE PILOT TUBE AND
EITHER THE THERMOCOUPLE FOR STANDING
PILOT OR IGNITION WIRE FROM IGNITION
CONTROL. (See figure 6).
d) Remove pilot burner and replace with new pilot
burner.
e) Replace pilot tubing on pilot burner. (It is best to
cut off old ferrule and use new one to ensure a
proper seal.)
f) Replace thermocouple or ignition wire on pilot
assembly.
g) Remove existing main burner orifice from the
manifold and replace with an orifice from the kit.
(See figure 7).
h) Replace the pilot-burner into the boiler. Replace
the burner retainer clip.
4.
Orifice Replacement - Remove all other burner
retainer clips and remove the rest of the burners.
a) Remove existing main burner orifices from the
manifold.
b) Install the orifices from the kit. (There may be
more orifices than required.)
c) Reinstall the main burners making sure that the
pilot burner is in the same position as above.
5.
Ignition Control Replacement (for IID only)
IMPORTANT
FOR CONVERSION OF BOILERS EQUIPPED
WITH AN INTERMITTENT IGNITION SYSTEM
TO PROPANE, THE IGNITION CONTROL MUST
BE CHANGED. FAILURE TO INSTALL THE COR-
RECT IGNITION CONTROL COULD CAUSE A
HAZARDOUS CONDITION RESULTING IN AN
EXPLOSION OR CARBON MONOXIDE POISON-
ING AND WOULD VOID ANY WARRANTY.
a) Remove the S8600F Control from the right side of
the boiler. Note the location of the wires so that
they may be installed on the proper terminals of
the replacement control.
b) Install the NEW S8600M or S8670E control
supplied in the kit. Reconnect the wires, including
the ignition wire. Check applicable wiring diagram
on pages 9 to 15 or the diagram on the boiler to
make certain that the wiring is correct.
6.
Registration Card and Labels:
a) Fill out the Boiler Conversion Label, Affidavit Label
and Gas Valve Label. Affix the Boiler Conversion
Label adjacent to the rating plate on the boiler
jacket. Affix the Affidavit Label to the front jacket
panel adjacent to the Slant/Fin logo. Affix the Gas
Valve label on the inside jacket panel above the
gas valve.
b) Fill out the Registration Card. REMEMBER THAT
THIS CARD MUST BE RECEIVED WITHIN 10
DAYS OR THE WARRANTY COULD BE VOIDED.
FINAL CHECKS:
1.
Are the burners installed correctly (ports are up)?
2.
Is the pilot in the correct position?
3.
All of the wiring is correct?
4.
All the labels have been filled out and affixed to
the boiler?
5.
Has the Registration Card been filled out?
GAS LEAK TESTS
Warning: DO NOT OMIT these tests. Open all gas cocks
upstream of the boiler gas valve. Paint all pipe joints from
the main gas cock to the gas valve with a rich soap and
water solution. Bubbles indicate gas leakage. To stop the
leak, tighten the joints and fittings. DO NOT USE AN
OPEN FLAME FOR TESTING.
