Check flame signal

1.At high fire the flame signal shown on the display should be at least 10 microamps.

2.A lower flame signal may indicate a fouled or damaged flame sense electrode. If cleaning the flame sense electrode does not improve, ground wiring is in good condition, and ground continuity is satisfactory, replace the flame sense electrode.

3.See Section 3 - Troubleshooting in the Knight XL Service Manual for other procedures to deal with low flame signal.

Review with owner

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

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

3.Remind the owner of the need to call a licensed contractor should the boiler 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.

Installation & Operation Manual

Cleaning boiler heat exchanger

1.Shut down boiler:

•Follow the “To Turn Off Gas to Appliance” instructions for the boiler in Section 10 - Startup.

•Do not drain the boiler unless it will be exposed to freezing temperatures. If using freeze prevention fluid in system, do not drain.

2.Allow time for the boiler to cool to room temperature if it has been firing.

3.Remove the blower assembly (gas air/arm) from the heat exchanger access cover. Set bolts aside.

4.Remove the nuts securing the heat exchanger access cover to the heat exchanger and set aside.

5.Remove the heat exchanger access cover, cover gasket(s) and chamber insulation assembly.

￿WARNING The boiler contains ceramic fiber materials. Use care when handling these

materials per instructions in the Handling Ceramic Fibers Section of the Knight XL Service Manual. Failure to comply could result in severe personal injury.

6.Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any accumulation on the boiler heating surfaces. Do not use any solvent.

7.Finish cleaning using a clean cloth dampened with warm water.

8.Install access cover gasket, chamber insulation assembly and cover.

9.Secure nuts on the studs. DO NOT overtighten.

10.Re-install the blower assembly (gas air/arm) using the bolts set aside in Step 3.

11.Close isolation valves on piping to isolate boiler from system. Attach a hose to the boiler drain and flush boiler thoroughly with clean water by using purging valves to allow water to flow through the water make-up line to the boiler.

12.When the boiler has been flushed, restore boiler to operation.

13.Perform start-up and check-out procedures in Section 10 - Startup.
