Installation, Operation, And Service Instructions 3 PRECAUTIONS Waste oil may contain many foreign materials. Waste oil may also contain gasoline. Therefore, specific precaut ions on the handling and storage of waste oils are to be observed when using, cleaning and maintaining this heater.
IMPORTANT NOTICE TO OWNER AND INSTALLER To enjoy the long term benefits of burning your used oil in an Omni Waste Oil Boiler, it is necessary to become familiar with the correct installation operation and maintenance of your new boiler. Before installing or operating this appliance, make sure you read and understand this manual.

OIL BURNER TECHNOLOGY Omni’s patented burner technology improves the e fficiency of the oil burn process by continuous stabilization of the oil viscosity. Optimum atom ization (spray) is accomplished by precisely pre- heating the oil and air prior to introduction to the combustion chamber.
• Air Pressure Adjuster: (figure1) Adjusts the air pressure going to the pre-heater block. Should be adjusted between 12 PSI and 13PSI as indicated on the Air Pressure Gauge on the burner for thorough burn of the waste oil. Note: In order to insure proper air adjustment, air gauge must read 0 when burner is cycled off or powered down.

COMBUSTION AIR SUPPLY WARNING Failure to provide an adequate supply of fresh air for combustion will result in hazardous operating conditions. Note If you use a fireplace or a kitchen or bathroom exhaust fan, you should install an outside air intake. These devices will rob the boiler and water heater of combustion air.
(b) All Air From Outdoors: The confined space shall be provided with two permanent openings, one within 12 inches of the top and another within 12 inches of the bottom of the enclosure. The openings shall comm unicate directly, or by ducts, with the outdoors or crawl or attic spaces which communicate freely with the outdoors.
NOTE All wall openings directly to outdoors must be screened to prevent entry by birds or small animals. With Horizontal Ducts See Figure 10. Note: Each air duct opening shall have a free area of not less than one square inch per 2,000 Btu per hour of the total input rating of all equipment in the enclosure.
3. Breeching • See Table 2 for minimum recommended breeching and chim ney sizes. • Keep run boiler to chimney as short as possible. • Use as few elbows as possible. • Slope upward towards chimney at not less than 1/4” per foot. • Use a sealed-in thimble for the chimney connection.
SIDE-WALL VENTING---IMPORTANT NOTE Two problems arise when side wall venting any oil appliance; 1. There is sometim es an accelerated rate at which soot builds up on the cad-cell, spinner, etc. 2. There is the potential for severe soot damage to the side of the structure in the event that the boiler operates at a high smoke level.
INSTALLING THE BOILER Placing The Boiler (OWB-9 – OWB-25) 1. Move the boiler as close as possible to its final location in the crate. 2. Rem ove the two lag screws holding the rear feet to the skid. 3. Rem ove the front jacket panel. Cut the band holding the front of the boiler to the skid.

Single Zone Wiring WARNING All wiring and grounding must be done in accordance with the authority having j urisdiction or, in the absence of such authority, with the National Electrical Code ( ANSI/NFPA70 ) . 1) 120 Volt Wiring —The boiler should be provided with its own 20A branch circuit with fused disconnect.
thermostat connections so that any zone valve that opens will also start the circulator and fire the boiler(assuming the high limit is not open). Zone valve term inal TH/TR has no internal connection on the zone valve; it is merely a “binding post” used to connect two or more wires.

BOILER START-UP AND ADJUSTMENTS FILL SYSTEM 1. Close m anual air vents (if used) and automatic air vents. Attach hose to boiler drain on return connection and run to a drain or to outdoors. Open drain cock and close shutoff valve on boiler supply pipe.
WARNING DO NOT fire boiler without water or boiler sections will overheat and eventually crack WASTE OIL BURNER STARTUP 6. IMPORTANT- Prior to starting the unit, pre-fill t he filter and fuel line with oil to assist priming procedure. Oil pump motor turns at low RPM’s and would take significant time to complete priming process if not pre-filled.
MAINTENANCE WASTE OIL BURNER: 1. Weekly Drain water from storage tank. 2. Monthly Clean pump screen on oil pump assembly of sludge and remove any water. Access to screen is by removing pump cover. Clean flame cone of deposits. 3. Yearly Inspect and adjust electrodes per (figure 37).
Figure 37 –Electrode Adjusment Diagram When cleaning, inspect all three pieces thoroughly. When disassembling and reassembling nozzle, keep facing up as shown.
TROUBLE-SHOOTING GUIDE NO HEAT: 1. Check burner power switch and m ake sure power is available to the whole control system. 2. If included in system , check low-water cutoff and/or manual reset high limit. 3. Check room thermostat(s) and zone valves or pump relays (if used).
