Vent System
Thoroughly inspect the vent system for any signs of blockage, corrosion or leakage. Immediately replace any unsound vent system piping.
WARNING: Failure to properly inspect the vent system on a regular basis may leave problems undetected that can result in excessive levels of carbon monoxide which can cause severe personal injury or death!
Controls
Use the BOILER OPERATION and BOILER CHECKING AND ADJUSTMENT sections of this manual as a reference.
1.Check the thermostat for proper operation.
2.If the boiler has been equipped with a low water cutoff device, L.W.C.O, ensure that it operates properly. A float type L.W.C.O. should be flushed out.
3.The relief valve should vent water when the test lever is lifted. It should not weep or discharge water at normal system pressure. NEVER try to clean or repair the relief valve! If the valve fails to operate properly, replace it!
4.The aquastat high limit controls the maximum water temperature in the boiler. It is adjustable from 140°F, 60°C to 240°F, 116 °C. If the water temperature reaches the set temperature before the demand for heat has been met, the aquastat high limit should shut the boiler off. The water temperature should never exceed the maximum set point of 240°F, 60°C. The aquastat high limit cannot be repaired. If it fails to function properly replace it.
