2.Safety Shutdown Checkout
a.For proper operation the pilot should engulf the thermocouple, powerpile generator or flame sen- sor as shown below.
b. To adjust pilot, turn pilot flow adjustment screw on valve clockwise or counterclockwise to give a steady flame enveloping 3/8 to 1/2 inch of the tip of the thermocouple, generator or flame sensor. Note that turning the pilot adjust screw clockwise will decrease the pilot flame.
c. Check safety shutdown of gas valve by following procedure outlined "CARE" and "MAINTE-
NANCE" section, item
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING: THE FLOW OF COMBUSTION AND VENTILAT- ING AIR TO THE BOILER SHOULD NOT BE OBSTRUCTED. This section must be brought to the attention of the owner by the installer so that the owner can make the necessary arrangements with a qualified service agency for the periodic care and maintenance of this boiler. The installer must inform the owner that the gas supplier can recommend a number of qualified service agencies. The installer must also inform the owner that the lack of proper care and mainte- nance of this boiler and any fuel burning equipment may result in a hazardous condition.
1.GENERAL MAINTENANCE (Refer also to Owner’s Infor- mation Manual)
These operations are recommended to be performed at regular intervals:
A.BOILER HEATING SURFACES: clean off all coatings found.
B.BOILER CONTROLS: check contacts, settings, cor- rect functioning.
C.PIPING: check piping and accessories for leaks.
D.CHIMNEY VENTING SYSTEM: check for obstructions and leaks. If the boiler is vented horizontally through the wall, the outside termination elbow and screen should be checked for any debris blocking the opening and cleaned as required.
E.BOILER ROOM AIR SUPPLY: check air vents for con- tinued POSITIVE supply of air as required. Air needs are greatest in cold weather. Air vents must be open and free of obstruction.
F.WATER SYSTEM: check
1.System to be full of water, and pressure to remain stable at correct setting on gauge.
2.
should not occur.
3.Water lines: slightest leaks should be corrected.
4.Low water cutoff, for operation (see instructions fur- nished with unit).
II.WATER LEVEL CHECK DURING HEATING SEASON:
A.Check water pressure regularly and add water slowly to system when needed. If much water is added, venting may be necessary.
B.Regular loss of water from water boiler system may indicate either a system leak, or a faulty air control system, or a faulty automatic fill valve.
III.ANNUAL INSPECTION AND CLEANING:
A.It is important that this boiler be inspected by a competent serviceperson to help insure safe and reliable operation.
B.Check for gas leaks from valve and gas piping to burners and pilot. If leaks are found, repair or replace as required.
C.This inspection should include:
1.Controls check. See SAFETY CHECK, IV.
2.Recheck of input gas rate to burners. See "Initial Start" paragraph in "Operating Instructions" section.
3.
See "Initial Start" paragraph in "Operating Instruc- tions" section and see "Burner Adjustment" section.
4.Burner and boiler flue passage cleanliness: BURNER AND FLUE CLEANING (see sketch). It is suggested that paper be placed on burners to col- lect any foreign material in cleaning flues.
5.Remove jacket top and flue cover. Remove inducer assembly.
6.Use wire brush to clean flueways.
7.Replace flue cover and
8.If burner surfaces are not clean, or if uneven flame indicates plugged burner ports, remove and clean burners.
1.Disconnect pilot at pilot mount, or disconnect pilot gas line at gas valve, before removing burn- ers next to pilot.
2.Lift burner and remove burner from orifice.
3.Clean and replace burners* and pilot. Adjust
