HIGH ALTITUDE INSTALLATIONS Ratings specified by manufacturers for most boilers apply for elevations up to 2000 feet (600 m). For elevations above 2000 feet IN CANADA (600 m) ratings must be reduced by a rate of 4% for each 1000 feet (300 m) above sea level. Acceptance of these models for use at altitudes above 2000 feet (600 m) is based on field test of the individual installation by the Example: If a boiler is rated at 610,000 Btu/hr. at sea level, to operate provincial/state authority

To adjust the flow rate setting: CAUTION The switch is factory set at approximately the minimum flow rate, see 1. Remove the flow switch cover. Table 3 on page 9. It must not be set lower than the factory setting as this may result in the switch failing to return at 'no flow' condition. 2. For higher flow rate - turn the range adjusting screw clockwise. 4. Replace flow switch cover. Where units are installed in multiples, 3. For lower flow rate - turn the range adjusting screw each boiler
