SECTION 1 - INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (Save these Instructions!)
INTRODUCTION TO INSTALLERS
Before installing this ECONOBURN™ Wood-Fired Boiler, please read the following instruction
manual carefully. This unit is designed to be a freestanding central heating boiler, or as an add-on
to operate in conjunction with an existing oil, gas, or electric unit, to provide a complete central
heating solution. Before installing be sure unit is properly sized for the intended application. War-
ranty does not cover misapplication of unit.
APPLICABLE STANDARDS
The ECONOBURN™ Wood-Fired Boiler must be installed in accordance with the requirements of
the National Fire Protection Association codes, the American Heating, Ventilation and Air Condi-
tioning Code, The National Board of Fire Underwriters, and the U.L. Standards for solid fuel burn-
ing equipment. In all cases consult your local authorities and fire insurance company for specific
regulations.
UNCRATING
When you receive your ECONOBURN™ Wood-Fired Boiler, check it carefully to ensure that all
components are present and in good condition. If there has been any damage or loss in trans-
portation, please notify the carrier at once. Remove the following from the boiler chambers: (2)
handles, aquastat, silicone, manual, boiler seal, (conditioning agent), pressure relief valve, and
circulator.
CHECKING COMBUSTION CHAMBER
The secondary combustion chamber, located in the lower part of the boiler, is a refractory that
should be centered from side to side, and front to back.
LOCATING THE BOILER
The location of the Boiler must be as close as possible to the tile-lined brick chimney, or factory-
built solid-fuel approved chimney. Keep in mind also the day-to-day operation, and place for ease
of fueling and cleaning.
It is important to provide adequate combustion air to the Boiler. It may be necessary to add a
ventilator to an exterior wall of a closed Boiler room or an airtight basement. The Boiler must be
installed so that the clearances of those of local authorities are met.
If the Boiler must be installed on a combustible floor, a noncombustible base must be built. Two
layers of hollow masonry block (4” thick) are placed at right angles to each other so that the venti-
lation holes of one layer are opposite to those of the other layer.
Also for ember protection, there must be a minimum one layer of 26 ga. galvanized metal beneath
the masonry blocks. This base must extend beyond the Boiler to a minimum distance of 18” in
front and 8” on all sides.

ATTENTION:THIS UNIT MUST BE
INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED PROFESSIONAL!
With the location of the boiler selected the next step is to position the unit and proceed with as-
sembly. If a noncombustible base is not required ECONOBURN™ recommends that the boiler be
placed on masonry blocks (bricks or 8” concrete blocks) if space permits, to allow easier fueling
and to keep the ECONOBURN™ boiler above any possible water in the basement. These blocks
should extend approximately 1” on all sides of the boiler for support and stability.
Continue as follows:
1. Plan all plumbing and electrical runs so that flue pipe is easily removable for cleaning and to
permit movement in the area as necessary.
2. Position masonry blocks and place the unit on top. Level the blocks as necessary.
3. Install aquastat wells, tridicator and pipe fittings using good quality pipe thread sealant or Teflon
tape.
4. Install the aquastats and complete the wiring, plumbing, smoke pipe and fire extinguishing tube
installations as shown in the appropriate electrical and plumbing diagrams.
5. IMPORTANT: Always test all functions under actual firing conditions before leaving the site. Test
especially for correct operation of damper, limit and by-pass zone valve and circulator.
Note: If the ECONOBURN™ boiler is installed above the radiation level, a low water cut off is re-
quired. It should be installed on pipe tees positioned at the supply and return points of the boiler.
WARNING - NEVER LEAVE START UP TO THE OWNER. EXPLAIN
THE OPERATIONS THOROUGHLY TO THE OPERATOR.
COMBUSTION AIR SUPPLY
Air inlets of at least 200 square inches free area must be provided to the room occupied by the
wood fired boiler.
These fresh air inlets must provide or allow free access of fresh outside air to the boiler.
At no time, or under any circumstances can a wood burning boiler be starved of combustion air.
The boiler must at all times be able to maintain the approved stack draft. The barometric draft reg-
ulator must be installed on the boiler smoke pipe in the same room or at least in such a way that
there is unrestricted free passage of air between the combustion air inlet to the boiler or burner
and the barometric draft regulator.
It is important to provide adequate combustion air to the boiler, a minimum 200 square inches
free area. It may be necessary to add a ventilator to an exterior wall of a closed boiler room or an
airtight basement.
Operating a wood or oil fired appliance with inadequate combustion air could be hazardous.
5
OUTSIDE COMBUSTION AIR MAY BE NECESSARY IF:
1. Fans that are installed in the fuel storage area create negative pressures in the room where
the solid fuel-burning appliance is located.
2. The solid-fuel-fired appliance does not draw steadily, smell, experiences smoke roll-out, burns
poorly, or back-drafts whether or not there is combustion present.
3. Any of the above symptoms are alleviated by opening a window slightly on a calm day.
4. The house is equipped with a well-sealed vapor barrier and tight fitting windows and/or has
any powered devices that exhaust house air.
5. There is excessive condensation on windows in the winter.
6. A ventilation system is installed in the house.
DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING AN-
OTHER APPLIANCE. BURN WOOD ONLY!
WARNING - RISK OF FIRE
1) DO NOT OPERATE WITH FUEL LOADING OR ASH REMOVAL
DOORS OPEN.
2) DO NOT STORE FUEL OR OTHER COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL
WITHIN MARKED INSTALLATION CLEARANCES.
3) INSPECT AND CLEAN FLUES AND CHIMNEYS REGULARLY.
CAUTION - HOT SURFACES - KEEP CHILDREN AWAY!
DO NOT TOUCH DURING OPERATION!

BOILERS CONNECTED TO AN EXISTING SYSTEM
i. Shall be installed without interfering with the normal delivery of heated water from the original
boiler.
ii. Shall be installed without affecting the operation of the electrical and mechanical safety
controls of the original boiler.
iii. Shall provide for a changeover from one fuel to the other without requiring manual adjustment
of the controls or components either than the thermostats.
iv. Shall have provisions for preventing, or adequate water capacity within the boiler to prevent
damage from loss of circulation due to electrical power failure.
v. Shall be installed without changing the function of the controls or rewiring the original boiler.
A wiring interconnection is permitted. The electrical system of both boilers shall be powered
from a single branch circuit without exception.
2. A requirement in the recommended piping diagram for the installation of a hot-water circulation
loop that would dissipate at least 10% of the estimated rated heat output of the solid-fuel boiler
when circulation is reduced because of an electrical power failure.
i. The loop can only be made inoperative by a deliberate manual action.
ii. The design parameters for sizing shall be a pipe size > 3/4 inch (18 MM), room temperature of
65°F (18°C), and mean water temperature of 180°F (82°C).
iii. The loop be positioned above the boiler, with features that promote natural thermal circulation
of the water.
3. The recommended piping be such that excessive pressure will not be developed in any portion
of the boiler system.
KEEP THE DOORS CLOSED AND MAINTAIN SEALS IN GOOD CON-
DITION.
CLEANING OF THE HEAT EXCHANGER, FLUE PIPE, CHIMNEY AND
DRAFT INDUCER, IF USED, IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT AT THE END OF
THE HEATING SEASON TO MINIMIZE CORROSION DURING THE SUM-
MER MONTHS CAUSED BY ACCUMULATED ASH.
