Maintenance procedures
The boiler should be inspected and started annually, at the beginning of the heating season, only by a qualified service technician. In addition, the maintenance and care
of the boiler designated on page 3 and explained on the following pages must be performed to assure maximum boiler efficiency and reliability. Failure to service and maintain the boiler and system could result in equipment failure, causing possible severe personal injury, death or substantial property damage.
The following information provides detailed instructions for completing the maintenance items
listed in “Maintain your boiler using this schedule” on page 3. In addition to this maintenance, the boiler must be serviced and started up at the beginning of each heating season by a qualified service technician.
See page 8 for “Troubleshooting” procedures for common problems.
Component information
Rollout thermal fuse element
The Rollout TFE is located above the burners. It cuts off gas flow should flame rollout occur.
Do not attempt to place boiler in operation if rollout
thermal fuse element cuts off gas flow. Immediately call a service technician.Failure to do so can cause severe personal injury, death or substantial property damage.
Spill switch
The Spill switch is attached to the draft diverter. It cuts off gas flow if the vent system becomes blocked.
Do not attempt to place boiler in operation if spill
switch cuts off gas flow. Immediately call a service technician. Failure to do so can cause severe personal injury, death or substantial property damage.
❏Check daily
Boiler area
To prevent potential of severe personal injury, death or
8201 W. Calumet Rd.
Milwaukee, WI 53223l property damage, eliminate all materials discussed below from the boiler vicinity. If found:
•Remove products immediately from the area. If they have been there for an extended period, call a qualified service technician to inspect the boiler and vent system for possible damage from acid corrosion.
•If products cannot be removed, immediately call a qualified service technician to install an outside combustion air source for the boiler (if not already installed).
1.Combustible/flammable materials — Do not store combustible materials, gasoline or any other flammable vapors or liquids near the boiler. Remove immediately if found.
2.Air contaminants — See listing of contaminants on page 2.
Pressure gauge
1.Make sure the pressure reading on the boiler pressure gauge does not exceed 15 psig. Normal operation is usually less than 5 psig. At certain times the system may be under vacuum conditions.
2.Contact a qualified service technician if problem persists.
Air openings
1.Verify that combustion and ventilation air openings to the boiler room and/or building are open and unobstructed.
❏Check monthly
Boiler and system piping
1.Visually inspect for leaks around piping, relief valve and other fittings. Immediately call a qualified service technician to repair any leaks.
Have leaks fixed at once by a qualified service technician. Continual fresh makeup water will reduce
boiler life. Minerals can build up in sections, reducing heat transfer, overheating cast iron, and causing section failure.
Do not use
and system components can occur, resulting in possible severe personal injury, death or substantial property damage.
Venting system
1.Visually inspect all parts or the flue gas venting system for any signs of blockage, leakage or joints or deterioration of the piping.
2.Check vent system operation:
a.With boiler firing, hold a candle or match below lower edge of draft diverter “skirt.” If flame does not blow out, but burns undisturbed, the vent system is working properly. If flame blows out or flickers severely, the vent system must be checked for obstructions or other causes of improper venting.
b.Verify the vent damper opens before burners ignite.
3.Notify your qualified service technician at once if you find any problem.
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.
