1.Remove main burners from unit.

2.Check that burner venturi and ports are free of foreign matter.

3.Clean burners with bristle brush and/or vacuum cleaner 3/4" DO NOT distort burner ports or pilot location.

4.Reinstall burners in unit. Making sure front and rear of burners are installed correctly in burner support brackets.

Also check for good flow of combustion and ventilating air to the unit. Maintain a clear area around the boiler at all times.

After placing the boiler in operation check the ignition system safety shutoff devices for proper operation. To accomplish this with the main burners operating, close the pilot adjusting valve on the left side of the manifold. Within four seconds the main burners and pilot should extinguish and the spark igniter on the pilot assembly should begin sparking. If this does not occur immediately, discontinue gas supply by closing main manual shutoff and call a qualified serviceman to correct the situation. If the burners extinguish, and pilot assembly begins sparking, the system is operating correctly so discontinue electrical power, open pilot adjusting valve, and light boiler in accordance with lighting and operating instructions.

For installations above 2000 feet (600 m), refer to HIGH ALTITUDE INSTALLATIONS in the installation section.

PRE-TROUBLE-SHOOTING

Before any extensive trouble-shooting, perform the following:

Ensure that:

Power (120 vac) is supplied to the appliance.

System control (tank temperature control, thermostat, etc.) is calling for appliance operation (call for heat).

Other contacts (switches) are closed (transformer relay, low water cutoff, flow switch, limit controls, pressure switches, etc.)

Gas supply pressure is within the maximum and minimum operating ranges listed on the appliance rating plate/label.

Voltage (24 vac) is supplied by transformer.

Appliance is wired according to wiring diagram.

NOTE: Cross wiring the 24 volt circuit of the relay will short the transformer.

All wire terminals/connectors are firmly attached to valves, modules, switches, limit controls, etc.

There has been no damage caused by freezing, inoperative pumps, etc.
