SECTION 2 VTG-IOM-2012-1001 INSTALLATION
! WARNING
All information in this manual is for
reference and guidance purposes,
and does not substitute for required
professional training, conduct,
and strict adherence to applicable
jurisdictional/professional codes and
regulations.
DO NOT USE GASOLINE, CRANKCASE
OIL OR ANY OIL CONTAINING
GASOLINE. If in doubt, contact
your Fulton representative prior to
operation.
Do not store or use gasoline or other
 ammable vapors and liquids or
corrosive materials in the vicinity of
this or any other appliances. Cements
for plastic pipe should be kept away
from all sources of ignition. Proper
ventilation should be maintained to
reduce the hazard and to minimize
breathing of cement vapors.
Damage to the pump seal will occur
immediately if it is run with the return
line closed and the by-pass screw
inserted.
The minimum return water
temperature to the boiler is 160 F
when  ring on oil. Failure to maintain
this will void the warranty.
If the water supply must be
temporarily disconnected from the
condensate drain trap, the boilers
must be turned o to prevent
accidental  ue gas emission into the
boiler room.
4 CAUTION
An uninterruptible water supply is
required and shall be connected to
the ¼” compression  tting on the
condensate drain. The water supply
maintains a water level in the drain kit
to prevent accidental  ue gas emission
into the boiler room.
lines enter the pump from the same height; in this way it will be more
improbable that the suction line fails to prime or stops priming.
Hydraulic Connections
Adhere to the following for hydraulic connections:
1. The oil pumps are equipped with a by-pass that separates the return line
and suction line. The pumps are installed on the pumping unit with the
by-pass closed. It is necessary to connect both hoses to the pump.
2. Damage to the pump seal will occur immediately if it is run with the return
line closed and the by-pass screw inserted.
Oil Pump Priming
Adhere to the following for pump priming:
1. Before starting the burner, make sure that the tank return line is not
clogged. Obstructions in the line could cause damage to the pump seal.
2. The pump leaves the factory with the by-pass closed. Check to make
sure that the valves located on the suction line are open and that there is
su cient fuel in the tank.
3. For self-priming to take place, one of the screws of the pump must be
loosened in order to bleed o the air contained in the suction line.
Oil Filtration
The oil supply to the Vantage boiler should be  ltered and be free of debris.
Regular maintenance of the  lter is required (as per the  lter manufacturer’s
recommendations) to maintain the Vantage warranty. It is the responsibility
of the installing contractor to provide adequate  ltration for the oil supply
system.
Venting
Adhere to the following venting requirements:
1. The Vantage boiler can operate to the combined intake and  ue pressure
drops without altering standard capacities: See Table 4.
2. The pressure drop readings at the boiler exhaust connection and air intake
connection cannot exceed the maximum value stated in Table 4. This
means that the combined pressure drop through the air intake venting (if
installed) and exhaust venting cannot exceed the maximum value stated in
Table 4; this is typically approximately 35 feet and 4 elbows of connection
size piping. If exceeded, the boiler will have to be de-rated or operational
issues will result. Also, the pressure at the boiler exhaust connection must
not exceed a maximum negative value as stated in the table. This pressure
must remain relatively constant throughout the operation of the boiler.
