SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (Continued)
Do not attempt to adjust the gas flow by adjusting the reg-
ulator setting.
Risk of fire or explosion from incorrect fuel
use or faulty fuel conversion. Do not try to run a heater set
up for natural gas on LP gas (Propane) or vice versa. Only
qualified service technicians should attempt to convert
heater from one fuel to the other.
Do not attempt to alter the rated input or type of gas by
changing the orifice. If it is necessary to convert to a differ-
ent type of gas, consult your Sta-Rite dealer. Serious mal-
function of the burner can occur which may result in loss
of life. Any additions, changes, or conversions required in
order for the appliance to satisfactorily meet the applica-
tion needs must be made by a Sta-Rite dealer or other
qualified agency using factory specified and approved
parts.
The heater is available for use with natural gas or LP
(propane) gas. Refer to the nameplate for the type of gas
the heater is equipped to use.
• Use heater only with the fuel for which it is designed.
Do not attempt to convert from one type of gas to
another.
• If heater design does not match available fuel, have a
qualified service technician convert the heater to the
correct fuel before putting heater into operation.
Risk of fire or explosion from flammable
vapors. Do not store gasoline, cleaning fluids, varnishes,
paints, or other volatile flammable liquids near heater or in
the same room with heater.
Risk of fire, carbon monoxide poisoning, or
asphyxiation if exhaust venting system leaks. Only quali-
fied service technicians should attempt to service the
heater, as leakage of exhaust products or flammable gas
may result from incorrect servicing.
Risk of explosion if an LP (propane) gas unit
is installed in a pit or other low spot. LP gas is heavier
than air. Do not install an LP gas fired heater in pits or
other locations where gas might collect. Consult local
codes and fire protection authorities about specific installa-
tion requirements and restrictions. Locate the heater away
from LP gas storage and filling equipment as specified by
the Standard for the Storage and Handling of Liquified
Petroleum Gases, ANSI/NFPA 58 (latest edition).
Risk of asphyxiation if exhaust is not correct-
ly vented. Follow venting instructions exactly when
installing heater. Do not use a draft hood with this heater,
as the exhaust is under pressure from the burner blower
and a draft hood will allow exhaust fumes to blow into the
room housing the heater.
The heater is supplied with an integral venting system for
outdoor installation. A vent conversion kit (See Page 14 for
Part Numbers for Conversion Kits) is available for indoor
installations. Use the specified venting, and only the speci-
fied venting, when heater is installed indoors.
Label all wires prior to disconnection when
servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and
dangerous operation.
Connect heater to 120 Volt, 60 Hz., 1 Phase power only.
Verify proper operation after servicing.
Do not allow children to play on or around heater or asso-
ciated equipment.
Never allow children to use the pool or spa without adult
supervision.
Read and follow other safety information contained in this
manual prior to operating this pool heater.
GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS/
REQUIREMENTS
NOTICE: Combustion air contaminated by corrosive chemi-
cal fumes can damage the heater and will void the warranty.
NOTICE: The Combination Gas Control Valve on this
appliance differs from most appliance gas controls. If it
must be replaced, for safety reasons replace it only with an
identical gas control.
NOTICE: The jacket covers must be in place to provide
proper ventilation. Do not operate the heater for more than
five (5) minutes with the jacket covers removed.
This heater is design certified by CSA International as com-
plying with the Standard for Gas-Fired Pool heaters, ANSI
Z21.56*CSA 4.7, and is intended for use in heating fresh-
water swimming pools or spas.
NOTICE: Do not use this heater as a heating boiler, water
heater, or for heating salt-water pools. This heater is
intended for use in heating fresh water swimming pools or
spas only.
The heater requires an external 120 VAC single-phase elec-
tric power source.
For indoor installation, the heater must be located as close
as practical to a chimney or gas vent.
The heater is design certified by CSA International for
installation on combustible flooring. Specified minimum
clearances must be maintained to combustible surfaces
(see “Installation Instructions”, Pages 9 - 11).
The heater should be located in an area where leakage of
the heater or connections will not result in damage to the
area adjacent to the heater or to the structure. When such
locations cannot be avoided, it is recommended that a suit-
able drain pan, adequately drained, be installed under the
heater. The pan must not restrict air flow.
The heater may not be installed within five feet of the
inside surface of a pool or spa unless it is separated by a
solid fence, wall or other permanent barrier.
LPG (Propane) fired heaters must not be installed in
garages in Massachusetts, by order of the Massachusetts
State Fire Marshall. For more information, call the Fire
Marshall’s office.
