SECTION XII: BOILER CLEANING

WARNING

All boiler cleaning must be completed with burner service switch turned off. Boilers equipped with burner swing door have a potential haz ard which can cause severe property damage, personal injury or loss of life if ignored. Before opening swing door, turn off service switch to boiler to prevent accidental firing of burner outside the combustion chamber. Be sure to tighten swing door fastener completely when service is completed.

A.CLEAN THE FLUEWAYS (See Figure 30).

1.Prior to cleaning boiler, lay a protective cloth or plastic over combustion chamber blanket to collect debris falling from flueways.

2.For access to combustion chamber remove two (2) 5/16" - 18 cap screws, one on the right (1¼" long) and one on the left (3¼" long). If boiler is equipped with flexible fuel line(s), swing door open.

3.For cleaning from the side:

a.Remove the jacket right side access panel to expose the flue cover plates.

b.Loosen nuts securing the flue cover plates and remove the plates. The rope gasket should be removed with the plates with care to avoid damage to the rope gasket.

4.For cleaning from the top:

a.Remove as much vent pipe as necessary to allow removal of the jacket top panel and canopy.

b.Remove the jacket top panel.

c.Remove the canopy, being careful not to damage the gasket.

5.Using a 1¼” diameter wire or fibre bristle brush (30” handle) clean the flueways. Brush from the top and/or side using horizontal and diagonal strokes for best results. DO NOT allow brush to strike the target wall or liner in the chamber.

B.CLEAN TOP OF BOILER SECTIONS (if cleaning from the top).

Brush and vacuum the tops of the boiler sections.

C.CLEAN THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER.

Using wire or fibre bristle brush, clean crown of boiler and inside of water legs.

WARNING

Do not allow brush to strike target wall or blanket in the combustion chamber.

D.AFTER CLEANING, remove protective cloth or plastic with debris and vacuum as necessary, but be careful not to damage blanket. Inspect target wall, combustion chamber blanket, burner swing door insulation, and rope gasket for signs of damage. If damaged, replace as needed.

E.REASSEMBLE BOILER.

CAUTION

Do not start the burner unless canopy, vent pipe, burner swing door and all flue cover plates are secured in place.

1.Install the canopy taking care to align the gasket without blocking the flueways. If gasket is damaged, replace as needed.

2.Reinstall flue cover plates, making sure rope gasket on each plate is in place and forms a gas tight seal. If damaged replace as needed.

3.Reinstall jacket top panel and/or jacket upper right side access panel with #8 x ½" long sheet metal screws.

4.Reinstall vent pipe on canopy and secure to collar with sheet metal screws.

5.Close burner swing door. Secure door to front section with 5/16" flange nut and washer (right side) and 5/16" x 3½" lg. bolt (left side).

NOTICE

When securing burner swing door make sure door is drawn-in equally on both sides.

Tighten swing door hardware to provide adequate seal to rope gasket around perimeter of door.

Use an alternating tightening method from right side flange nut to left side cap screw to pull door tight equally.
