1.Lubricate the water circulating pump per the instructions on the pump.

2.If a strainer is employed in a pressure reducing valve or the piping, clean it every six months.

3.At start-up, and periodically thereafter, the burner flame should be observed. If the flame has the appearance of ‘sooting’ tips, check for debris near the orifices and call the service technician.

4.Inspect the venting system for obstruction, leakage or corrosion at least once a year.

5.Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors, liquids or chemicals in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

Ne pas entreposer ni utiliser d’essence ni d’autres vapeurs ou liquides inflammables à proximité de cet appareil ou de tout autre appareil.

6.Do not use this boiler if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the heater and replace any part of the control system and any gas control which has been under water.

N’utilisez pas cet appareil s’il a été plongé dans l’eau, même partiellement. Faites inspecter l’appareil par un technicien qualifié et remplac ez toute partie du système de contrôle et toute commande qui ont été plongés dans l’eau.

7.Be sure that all combustion air and ventilation openings are unobstructed.

8.Upon completion of the installation, inspect the external surfaces of the heat exchanger for fouling based on the following schedule:

24 hours 7 days 30 days 90 days Once every six months thereafter.

9.If the boiler is not going to be used for long periods of time in locations where freezing occurs, it should be completely drained of all water. To accomplish this, there is a drain valve on the right side of the boiler which can be opened. This will drain the right side of the boiler. There are two plugs located on the left side of the heater which must be removed to drain that side. Both sides must be drained.

10.The gas and electric controls on the boiler are engineered for long life and dependable operation, but the safety of the equipment depends on their proper functioning. It is

Figure 14. 1) BJVS Pilot; 2) BJVH Pilot;

3) Main Burner Flame Pattern; 4) BJVT Pilot.

strongly recommended that the basic items listed below be inspected by a qualified service technician every year.

a.Water temperature controls

b.Pilot safety system.

c.Automatic gas valves.

d.Flow sensing safety devices.

e.Vent dampers and power venters.

f.Venting system.

NOTE: The Warranty does not cover damage caused by lack of required maintenance, lack of water flow, or improper operating practices.

12.Fouling on the external surfaces of the heat exchanger is caused by incomplete combustion, and is a sign of venting and/or combustion air problems. The heat exchanger can be inspected by using a flashlight and placing a mirror under the burners. An alternate method is to remove the venting and top panel to inspect the exchanger from above. The vent system should be inspected at the same time. If cleaning is required:

a.Shut off all power to the boiler.

b.Remove the draft hood, venting top, flue collector, and heat exchanger baffles.

c.Remove the burners by lifting them off the orifices and pulling them out of the boiler.

d.Use a hand-operated spray bottle filled with water, and a wire brush to clean soot and loose scale from the underside of the heat exchanger. DO NOT USE COMPRESSED AIR, HIGH PRESSURE WATER OR A GARDEN HOSE.

e.Clean any fallen debris from the bottom of the unit.

f.Check to make sure the burner ports and pilot assembly are free of debris before returning the burners to their original position.

g.Reassemble the boiler in reverse order, making sure to replace the heat exchanger baffles.

8.2Boiler Components and Their Operation

1.Gas Valve / Regulator - The gas valve controls gas flow into the manifold. It provides flow only when the temperature control requires heat and only if all safety controls enable operation. It is also a positive pressure regulator. It regulates the gas pressure in the manifold to specifications addressed earlier in this manual. This is necessary for proper operation of the burner system. BJVS 100-225 Only - Gas Valve / Regulator has two output stages controlled by two-stage temperature control.
