Installation & Service Manual

7Maintenance

s.Ensure that all burner ports are cleaned to remove any soot. See Inspection and Cleaning Procedure, page 46.

t.Carefully re-install the heat exchanger, “V” baffles, jacket panels, and wires.

u.Reassemble all gas and water piping. Test for gas leaks.

v.Cycle the appliance and check for proper operation.

Inspection of Heat Exchanger Waterways

Appliances operated in hard water areas should have periodic inspections of the tubes to be sure that no sediment or scale accumulates on the heat transfer surfaces. Inspection plugs are located at both ends of the heat exchanger. Inspection plugs should be removed and tubes inspected at the end of the first 45 days of operation and again at the end of 90 days of operation. If no scale accumulation is observed, inspections can be made at the end of each six months of operation.

Inspect pump every 6 months and oil if required. Use SAE 30 non-detergent oil or lubricant specified by pump manufacturer.

Clear Area

1.Keep appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.

2.Check frequently to be sure the flow of combustion and ventilation air to the boiler is not obstructed.

Review with owner

1.Review the User’s Information Manual with the owner.

2.Emphasize the need to perform the maintenance schedule specified in the User’s Information Manual (and in this manual as well).

3.Remind the owner of the need to call a licensed contractor should the appliance or system exhibit any unusual behavior.

4.Remind the owner to follow the proper shutdown procedure and to schedule an annual start-up at the beginning of the next heating season.
