User’s Information Manual
Please read before proceeding
The Knight XL Installation and
Operation Manual along with the Knight
XL Service Manual are for use only
by a qualified heating installer/service
technician. Refer only to this User’s
Information Manual for your reference.
Improper installation, adjustment,
alteration, service or maintenance can
cause property damage, personal injury
(exposure to hazardous materials) or
loss of life. Installation and service must
be performed by a qualified installer,
service agency or the gas supplier (who
must read and follow the supplied
instruction before installing, servicing,
or removing this boiler. This boiler
contains materials that have been
identified as carcinogenic, or possibly
carcinogenic, to humans).
Failure to adhere to the guidelines on
this page can result in severe personal
injury, death, or substantial property
damage.
Boiler service and maintenance –
• To avoid electric shock, disconnect electrical supply
before performing maintenance.
• To avoid severe burns, allow boiler to cool before
performing maintenance.
Boiler operation –
• Do not block flow of combustion or ventilation air to
the boiler. This boiler is equipped with a control which
will automatically shut down the boiler should air or
vent be blocked. If vent or air blockage is easily
accessible and removable, remove it. The boiler should
attempt to restart. If blockage is not obvious or cannot
be removed, have the boiler and system checked by a
qualified service technician.
• Should overheating occur or gas supply fail to shut off,
do not turn off or disconnect electrical supply to the
circulator. Instead, shut off the gas supply at a location
external to the appliance.
• Do not use this boiler if any part has been under water.
The possible damage to a flooded appliance can be
extensive and present numerous safety hazards. Any
appliance that has been under water must be replaced.
Boiler water –
• Thoroughly flush the system (without boiler
connected) to remove sediment. The high-efficiency
heat exchanger can be damaged by build-up or
corrosion due to sediment.
• Do not use petroleum-based cleaning or sealing
compounds in the boiler system. Gaskets and seals in
the system may be damaged. This can result in
substantial property damage.
• Do not use “homemade cures” or “boiler patent
medicines”. Serious damage to the boiler, personnel,
and/or property may result.
• Continual fresh make-up water will reduce boiler life.
Mineral buildup in the heat exchanger reduces heat
transfer, overheats the stainless steel heat exchanger,
and causes failure. Addition of oxygen carried in by
makeup water can cause internal corrosion. Leaks in
boiler or piping must be repaired at once to prevent
makeup water.
Freeze protection fluids –
• NEVER use automotive antifreeze. Use only inhibited
propylene glycol solutions, which are specifically
formulated for hydronic systems. Ethylene glycol is
toxic and can attack gaskets and seals used in hydronic
systems.
When calling or writing about the boiler
– Please have the boiler model and serial
number from the boiler rating plate.
Consider piping and installation when
determining boiler location.
Any claims for damage or shortage in
shipment must be filed immediately
against the transportation company by
the consignee.
Factory warranty (shipped with unit)
does not apply to units improperly
installed or improperly operated.

2. Air contaminants -- Products containing chlorine or
fluorine, if allowed to contaminate the boiler intake air,
will cause acidic condensate in the boiler. This will cause
significant damage to the boiler if allowed to continue.
Read the list of potential materials listed in Table 1A on
page 4 of this manual. If any of these products are in the
room from which the boiler takes its combustion air, they
must be removed immediately or the boiler combustion
air (and vent termination) must be relocated to another
area.
Check pressure/temperature gauge
1. Make sure the pressure reading on the boiler pressure/
temperature gauge does not exceed 24 psi (165.5 kPa).
Higher pressure may indicate a problem with the
expansion tank.
2. Contact a qualified service technician if problem persists.
Check vent piping
1. Visually inspect the flue gas vent piping for any signs of
blockage, leakage, or deterioration of the piping. Notify
your qualified service technician at once if you find any
problems.
WARNING Failure to inspect the vent system as noted
above and have it repaired by a qualified
service technician can result in vent system
failure, causing severe personal injury or
death.
Check air piping
1. Visually inspect the air inlet termination to be sure it is
unobstructed. Inspect the entire length of air piping to
ensure piping is intact and all joints are properly sealed.
2. Call your qualified service technician if you notice any
problems.
Check relief valve
1. Inspect the boiler relief valve and the relief valve
discharge pipe for signs of weeping or leakage.
2. If the relief valve often weeps, the expansion tank may
not be working properly. Immediately contact your
qualified service technician to inspect the boiler and
system.
Check condensate drain system
1. Inspect the condensate drain line, condensate PVC
fittings and condensate trap.
