Slant/Fin Kicker - Manual (Page 2)

Plumbing Connections
Use appropriate soft solder that conforms to the
requirements of the local authority having jurisdiction.
1. Solder (nominal)
1 ⁄
2
" copper tubing from the
building’s hot water space heating system to the
hot water supply and return connections of the
heating coil, which are located at the rear, left side
of the unit.
NOTE: The RETURN is the header tube that
contains the
1 ⁄
8
" NPT air vent fitting.
2. CAUTION: Shield combustible materials from
torch flame while soldering connections.
3. After soldering the hot water tubing, fill the system
with water, vent the heat exchanger using air vent
assembled to header, and check soldered joints
for leaks and/or restrictions.
Electrical Connections
1.
CAUTION: SHUT OFF electrical power before wiring.
DO NOT restore electrical power until installation is
complete.
2. All electrical connections must comply with either the
U.S. National Electrical Code, (latest ANSI/NFPA No.
70) or the latest Canadian Electrical Code, (CSA
Standard C22.1, Part 1), whichever code applies, plus
any current, applicable local codes.
3. Note that all electrical connections are located at
the rear, right side of the unit.
4. Refer to the wiring diagram, Fig. 2, and connect
the hot (120V) electrical service input to the black
lead with a wire nut. Similarly connect the neutral
to the white lead, and then fasten the ground wire
to the green screw provided on the chassis. Field
wire must be 75°C, minimum, and of adequate
gauge and over-current protection.
5. Upon completion of all plumbing and electrical
connections, re-install or replace cabinet base,
which must completely cover the opening through
which chassis was placed on to the floor.
6. CAUTION: DO NOT electrically energize or run
the unit until cabinet base and grille are in place
and secured.
Operation
1. Press top of toggle switch for high-speed fan
operation and bottom of switch for low fan speed.
The center position of the switch shuts the fan off.
2. Note that to prevent air drafts, The Kicker’s fan
turns on only when hot water is circulating through its
coil. The circulation of hot water is generally
controlled by the space thermostat. If water is
circulating through the coil but the fan does not turn
on, the boiler water temperature must be raised. The
fan is activated when the temperature control senses
that the water circulating through the coil is at a
temperature of at least 130°F to 140°F.
3. When the fan is on, room air enters the left side of
the grille and heated air is discharged into the
room from the right side.
4. CAUTION:
a. DO NOT block air flow in or out of grille.
b. DO NOT store perishable food above heater.
Maintenance
1. Turn off electrical power at the main supply (breaker)
prior to servicing the unit.
2. Remove shelves, drawers and cabinet base to
expose unit. Remove front grille if necessary.
3. Lightly clean blower wheel (fan) with a vacuum
cleaner, using soft brush attachment.
4. Vacuum front grille to remove dirt, dust or lint.
5. Replace cabinet base, front grille (if removed),
shelves and drawers of cabinet.
6. Turn on power at the main electrical supply panel.
