GENERAL
The Custom Mark III CP Series Oil Fired Unit is a high quality heating unit that will provide many years of comfortable and economical heat if properly installed and given proper care. It is IMPORTANT therefore that these instructions should be followed carefully.
SHIPMENT
The unit is completely assembled at the factory except for the following parts which are packed in a separate carton and strapped to the skids inside the shipping carton:
The jacket extension for 128CPO is shipped in separate carton.
DAMAGE IN TRANSIT
Upon receipt of shipment of this material, inspect all cartons for external damage. If external damage is noted, open the carton and inspect for damage to equipment. Mark the number of cartons received in this condition on the delivering carrier's waybill, and request the services of their inspector.
If, upon opening a carton, concealed damage is discovered, open the entire shipment and note all equipment so damaged. Contact the delivering carrier and request inspection of the damaged equipment. Do not destroy the carton. The inspector from the freight company will need this to determine reason for damage.
Normally claims for any and all damages should be filed with the freight company within five working days after receipt of shipment.
All materials are sold F.O.B. Factory. It is the responsibility of the consignee to file claim with the delivering carrier for material received in a damaged condition.
LOCATING UNIT
BEFORE REMOVING SHIPPING CARTON, LOCATE UNIT IN ITS FINAL POSITION
The carton is plainly marked so as to indicate which is the outlet burner end of the unit which is also the end where the return and flue are located. Clearance should be provided in both the front and rear of the unit for cleaning. Where possible it is good practice to locate the [Pg 2]unit so its sides are parallel to the chimney flue. In all instances locate unit as near chimney flue as possible in order to avoid use of a long flue pipe.
REMOVING CARTON
Once the packaged unit is in its proper place, cut all around the carton on the scored line as shown on carton. The entire carton may then be lifted from the skids.
If it is found necessary to move the unit a little more to place it in the exact location ready for piping, do so before removing skids.
DO NOT PUSH AGAINST ANY PART OF JACKET OR OIL BURNER WHEN MOVING UNIT. TO MOVE UNIT, PUSH AGAINST SKIDS, FLUE BOX OR SMOKE BOX. PUSHING AGAINST JACKET WILL RESULT IN DAMAGE.
REMOVING SKIDS
The skids are specially designed for easy removal. It is necessary, however, to follow these instructions carefully.
IMPORTANT
DO NOT TILT UNIT BY PUSHING AGAINST JACKET
IT IS NOT NECESSARY
AND BY DOING SO THE JACKET WILL BE DAMAGED
LEVELING UNIT
In case floor is uneven, unit may easily be made level by inserting shims under the 4 shipping lugs. These lugs also keep the jacket 1/2" off the floor, protecting it from wet floors and dampness.
PIPING AND WIRING
Once the unit is in its proper location with the packing carton, skids and packing material removed, it is ready for piping and connection from Room Thermostat and 110 V. 60 Cy. A.C. Current.
CONTROL SYSTEM
The controls furnished are for a one zone Forced Water System consisting of T87F Room Thermostat, L8124A-1007 Triple Acting Aquastat and Circulator Relay,[Pg 3] C554A-1018 Cadmium Photocell, R8184G-1005 Burner Relay and V4046A-1009 Oil Valve. Description and complete wiring diagram will be found packed with each control.
SPECIAL CONTROL SYSTEMS
For special control systems such as multiple installations, zone controlled, unit heater, radiant panel, etc., write to factory for wiring diagrams.
CHIMNEY AND BREECHING REQUIREMENTS
The CP boiler should be connected to a vertical vent system that will prevent: (1) positive pressure in the flue, (2) backward flow of flue gas through the unit when the burner stops, and (3) condensation in the flue.
Use double-walled or insulated pipe for sections of the flue in cold areas. All outside vents, except for short extensions, must be insulated to avoid condensation in the flue. Several types of prefabricated chimneys are available providing double-walled or insulated pipe, some with ceramic and others with metallic liners.
While the unit is equipped with an induced draft fan, proper size vent must be provided to remove the gases of combustion. It is recommended that a 4" to 5" increaser be used for venting the 87CPO and 108CPO and a 4" to 6" increaser be used for the 128CPO. For abnormal runs (exceeding 10 ft.), consult factory.
Vent and breeching must be gas tight by sealing with asbestos or thermo-setting pressure sensitive tape.
DRAFT REGULATOR
It is recommended that a draft regulator be installed in chimney flue just below the flue pipe opening, if the unit is attached to an extremely high chimney; an unlined chimney; or a chimney which is constructed on the exterior of the house.
CONTROLS AND TRIM
Controls are installed in place at the Factory. Attach thermo-altimeter in 1/2" tapping in top front of boiler. Install 3/4" × close nipple in 3/4" top connection with 3/4" × 3/4" × 1/2" Tee. 3/4" Tee opening for installation of the relief valve and 1/2" opening for expansion tank.
WIRING
Controls are all in place and wired at the factory except connection to circulator.
REGULATING OIL PRESSURE
Standard nozzles furnished with the burner will produce the stamped rated capacity when used with Commercial Standard No. 2 Fuel Oil, and operated with a pressure of 100 lbs. per square inch. The standard setting of the fuel unit is 100 lbs. Due to difference in tank elevations, the pressure should be adjusted at the time of start up.
FUEL LINES
Care should be employed when attaching the oil lines to the fuel unit. Overtightening or twisting will twist the pump-motor mounting plate and put a stress on the motor bearings.
START UP PROCEDURE
General:
ADJUSTING BURNER (See Figure 1)
Positioning of the nozzle in relation to the face of the cone and the electrodes in relation to the nozzle are very important, also the face of the cone in relation to the face of the choke ring must be set according to the chart for each rate.
If the air shutter openings are too large the oil may not ignite.
NOTE
Final adjustment should be made after
the burner has been firing continuously
for at least 10 minutes, as the fan pulls
less air when the flue gases are hot.
A. CHECK LIMIT CONTROL
NOTE
The Minimum limit setting for any hot water
boiler should be 140 degrees F. in order to
prevent corrosion of the flues on the fire
side. The burner should be run with the primary
control thermostat terminals jumpered and the
burner controlled directly from an aquastat
keeping the boiler hot all the time, thus
eliminating the sweating of the flues on the
fire side caused by starting from a cold start.
BELT ADJUSTMENT
The proper tension on the fuel unit belt drive is set at the factory. However, the belt should be checked periodically to see that the setting is maintained. To check setting, first, remove the belt guard and then, using fingers, compress the belt at a point midway between the sheaves. The proper setting at this point measured between the outer edges of the belt, should be between 1-3/4" and 1-7/8". If adjustment is necessary loosen the two mounting bolts, and move the fuel unit up or down to give the necessary belt setting. Then re-tighten the mounting bolts securely and replace the belt guard.

Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
people in all walks of life.
Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
assistance they need, are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation
Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
status with the IRS.
The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
particular state visit http://pglaf.org
While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
approach us with offers to donate.
International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.

Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
works.
Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
http://www.gutenberg.org
This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
