HEALTH AND SAFETY

INFORMATION FOR THE USER, INSTALLER AND SERVICE ENGINEER

Under the Consumer Protection Act 1987 and the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, it is a

requirement to provide information on substances hazardous to health (COSHH Regulations

1998).

Trianco takes every reasonable care to ensure that its products are designed and constructed to

meet these safety requirements when the products are properly installed and used. To fulfil the

requirements, products are comprehensively tested and examined before despatch.

When working on the appliance, it is the responsibility of the user or engineer to ensure that

personal protective clothing or equipment—appropriate to parts that could be considered

hazardous or harmful—is worn.

This appliance may contain some of the items below:

Insulation and Seals

Glass rope, mineral wool, insulation pads, ceramic fibre, glass insulation.

When handling, avoid inhalation and contact with eyes. These may be harmful and cause

irritation to the skin, eyes, nose or throat. Use disposable gloves, face masks and eye protection.

After handling, wash hands and other exposed areas. When disposing of materials, limit dust and

the risk of inhalation by using a water spray. Ensure materials are securely wrapped.

Seek urgent medical attention if inhaled or ingested. Exposure to eyes and skin should be

followed by immediate cleansing of the affected areas and medical attention if necessary.

Glues, Sealants and Paints

The glues, sealants and paints used present no known hazards when the appliance is used in the

manner for which it is intended.

Mineral Oils

The appliance is designed to run on 28 sec. kerosene class C2. The effects of mineral oils on the

skin will vary depending on the length of exposure.

Avoid any skin contact with oil or clothing contaminated with oil. Kerosene will remove the

protective grease normally present on the surface of the skin, rendering it dry, liable to cracking

and more prone to damage caused by cuts and abrasions. Seek immediate medical attention for

any rash, wart or sore that develops on any part of the body.

Barrier cream that contains lanolin, such as Rosalex Antisolv is recommended together with a

strict regime of personal cleaning.

Do not breath oil vapours. Do not fire the burner in the open (i.e. out of the boiler) as a misfire will

produce unburned oil vapours. Under no circumstances should mineral oils be taken internally.

Note 1 The primary air damper should remain at the position indicated. The secondary air damper settings are

for guidance only; individual site conditions—such as the type of flue and level of draught—will often compel

deviation from the recommended positions. See fig 3 for air damper adjustment instructions.

Note 2 The CO2ratio is correct for a combustion air temperature of 20°C; see fig 2 for other temperatures.

Note 3 The *indicates factory settings. To attain different outputs, changes to the nozzle specification, pump

pressure and air setting may be required. The boiler should be set to match the heat requirements of the

system. Incorrect matching may impede the boiler's correct operation and invalidate its warranty.

BURNER SETUP

Fig 1

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

To set the primary air damper (A), remove the secondary air damper (B) by loosening the screws (1).

Loosen the primary air wheel screw (2) and rotate the primary damper to the required position. Retighten the

screw and replace the secondary damper.

To set the secondary air damper (B), turn the adjustment screw (3) either clockwise (+) or anti-clockwise (–)

using the Allen key provided. The air setting will be indicated in the display window.

COMBUSTION AIR

AIR DAMPER ADJUSTMENT

To conform to Efficiency Directive

92/42/EEC, the concentrations of

CO and CO2in the flue gases must

be verified. As combustion air can

be taken from the room in which the

boiler is situated or from outside,

there may be variations in the ratio

depending on the combustion air

temperature. Use the graph

adjacent to set the correct level.

Example: a 29–36 kW boiler taking

in combustion air at 20°C will

require a CO2ratio of 12%

Fig 2

Fig 3

OIL PUMP

If the burner goes to a lock-out state due to a lack of oil pressure, the pump may require priming. Remove

the pressure gauge bleed port plug until oil is seen to be present and replace the plug.

Single-pipe systems

Where the lowermost part of the tank is above the level of the oil pump, a single-pipe gravity system can

be used. The supply pipe should be connected to the suction port on the burner pump via the flexible hose

(supplied). The pump is pre-set to run on single-pipe oil supplies—the bypass screw (3) must not be

present in the return line (see fig 4).

Two-pipe systems

Where the lowermost part of the tank is below the level of the burner, a two-pipe suction lift is necessary. A

second flexible hose will be required, and the oil pump must first be converted for use. Remove the return

line plug (2), insert the bypass screw (3) and connect a second flexible oil line (not supplied).

Single pipe oil supplies with a de-aerator

Where a two-pipe suction lift is required, but it is not feasible to fit a return pipe, an oil de-aerator can be

used. The burner should be piped—and the pump converted—as for a two-pipe system, up to the de-

aerator, at which point a single pipe can be taken to the storage tank. The de-aerator should be fitted as

close to the boiler as possible—though externally to the premises—at a height no lower than the oil pump.

2. Remove the burner plug from the boiler

control box.

3. Remove the burner from the boiler (fig 8).

4. Remove the blast tube (fig 5), exposing the

nozzle holder assembly.

5. Taking care not to damage the electrodes,

remove the nozzle with an appropriate

socket or box spanner (fig 6)

6. Fit a new nozzle of the same specification.

7. Replace the flame ring in the same position,

check the electrode positions (fig 7) and

tighten.

8. Refit the blast tube.

To remove the burner (2), unscrew the nut that holds it to the mounting flange (1) and pull

away, leaving the mounting flange and gasket (5) attached to the boiler (4). To remove /

replace the flange and gasket, undo the retaining nuts (3).
