PENNCO GAS BOILER SERIES 2 AND 3

NATURAL, MFD. & MIXED GASES- NOT FULL SHUT OFF

Operating Instructions FOR STEAM, VAPOR OR HOT WATER HEATING SYSTEMS

Steam or Vapor System:

To Light Burners:

If f

depress button on Baso pilot valve for Gas Actuated Controls. For electric controls employing a recycling pilot switch, switch contacts will close when thermocouple is hot. Switch on electric power supply to boiler, fully open main gas valve and set room thermostat to desired temperature. Main burners will light when room temperature is below setting on room thermostat.

marked on the gauge glass.

Water should be changed and boiler washed out at least once each year.

After the heating season is over, close all valves, drain water from boiler and refill with water up to safety valve. Before starting the boiler again, drain off all the water and refill with fresh water to 31" from floor, where marked on gauge glass.

Oil and grease in a steam or vapor boiler retard the generating of steam; causes foaming and unsteady water line. Blow off should be installed in the flow header for the purpose of cleaning the boiler from the top.

To Regulate Burners and Pilots:

1. Adjust mixers until burners burn a blue, medium-soft flame.

2. Do not try to regulate the supply of gas to the burners by the main shut-off cock, open cock full. The gas pressure regulator does this automatically.

3. Then check to see if the boiler is overgassed. In case boiler is overgassed, reduce the gas pressure by turning the adjustment screw, on top of regulator, to the left until the flame burns from all ports with a medium-soft fire.

4. If burner should flash back (burning in the mixer), clos main shut-off cock. After fire ceases to burn in mixer relight, following lighting instructions, and adjust mixer just enough to prevent flash back.

Hot Water, Pressure or Gravity System:

1. To fill, run water into the system. Be sure boiler and system are full of water and all air vented out; then, if:

a. (PRESSURE SYSTEM) -- Set water regulator valve to close at pressure desired.

b. (GRAVITY SYSTEM) -- Set red hand on altitude gauge so it is directly behind the black hand. The red hand will then indicate the position the black hand should be in when the system is full of water.

It will be necessary to vent air from the radiators occasionally after the system has been in operation.

To Shut Down Boiler:

■<*•

1. Switch off electric power supply to ||*Uer.

2. Close main shut-off cock "A".

3. Close Pilot Cock "C".

To Light Pilot:

1. Set room thermostat at lowest possible setting.

2. Switch off electric power supply to boiler.

3. Close main gas valve "A".

4. Wait 5 minutes for any unburned gas to escape.

5. Open pilot valve and light pilot(s). Make sure that all pilots are burning full at all flame holes.

6. Replace firebox door.

General Information:

1. Do not install damper in flue pipe. matically corrects draft.

Draft diverter auto-

Inspect the pilots periodically, making sure that each is burning fully at all flame holes. If, for any reason, thej are found extinguished, do not attempt to relight until after waiting 5 minutes to give any unburned gas a chance to escape.

This gas boiler should be inspected, cleaned and adjustec once a year for the most efficient operation. It is well tc arrange for a regular and qualified service man to dc this work.

	Operation During Failure of Electric Power Supply 4 STEAM AND HOT WATER BOILERS

In case of failure of supply of electric current, boiler will automatically shut off. To place it back in operation while current is off, first make sure the pilot is burning properly— then turn or pull manual reset knob or handle on diaphragm or solenoid gas valve to 'Manual' position and turn off electric power supply switch and leave it off until power has been restored. CAUTION—Shut off boiler by returning manual reset knob or handle to 'Automatic' position before water temperature or steam pressure becomes excessive. Bear in mind that operating the boiler manually is an emergency condition, that the automatic safety controls will not operate to protect the boiler during such operation, and that constant supervision is required to prevent the possibility of damage due to low water or overheating. Never leave the boiler operating under this emergency condition if it is to be unsupervised for any length of time. In the case of a boiler installed on a forced circulation hot water heating system (incorporating a circulating pump) be sure to open flow control valve (or valves), if provided in the supply lines. Also reduce the main burner flames to a minimum adjustment (approximately 1/3 or 1/4 normal size) by partially closing the main gas shut-off valve. Upon resumption of the supply of electric current, return manual reset knob or handle on diaphragm or solenoid gas valve to 'Automatic' position and turn on electric power supply switch. On forced circulation hot water heating systems, return flow control valves to their normal operating position and turn main gas shut-off valve to its wide open position. Completion of these adjustments will restore system to normal automatic operation.

Operating Instructions FOR STEAM, VAPOR OR HOT WATER HEATING SYSTEMS

Steam or Vapor System:

1. The water level should be maintained at the (water line marked on the gauge glass.

2. Water should be changed and boiler washed out at least once each year.

3. After the heating season is over, close all valves, drain water from boiler and refill with water up to safety valve.

4. Before starting the boiler again, drain off all the water and refill with fresh water to 31" from floor, where marked on gauge glass.

To Light Burners:

After pilot is lit and has burned for two or three minutes, depress button on Baso pilot valve for Gas Actuated Controls. For electric controls employing a recycling pilot switch, switch contacts will close when thermocouple is hot. Switch on electric power supply to boiler, fully open main gas valve and set room thermostat to desired temperature.
