POSSIBLE CAUSE

CORRECTIVE ACTION

•Refer to Section 3 - General Venting of the Knight Boiler Installation and Operation Manual Vent/Air Intake Length for the proper venting and air intake methods for the Knight boiler.

or Obstruction

•Check for obstructions at the vent/air intake terminals.

Gas Supply Pressure

• Refer to Section 7 - Gas Connections of the Knight Boiler Installation and Operation

 

Manual for the proper gas supply for the Knight boiler.

 

 

 

Dirty/Damaged Burner

• Refer to page 31 of this manual for burner removal and cleaning procedures.

• Replace burner if necessary.

 

 

 

 

Gas Valve Adjustment

• Refer to this page for the gas valve adjustment procedure.

 

 

 

Gas valve adjustment procedure

 

Figure 3-2Gas Valve Adjustment

 

If adjustment of the gas valve is deemed necessary, use the following procedure:

Locate the throttle adjustment screw on the side of the venturi valve (FIG. 3-2). Using a screwdriver, turn the screw a 1/4 turn counterclockwise to increase CO2 levels or a 1/4 turn clockwise to decrease CO2 levels. After performing one adjustment on the valve, follow the Combustion Analysis Procedure on page 46 of this manual to measure the combustion.

If combustion is still not within the specified range, repeat the procedure. This procedure SHOULD NOT be performed more than four (4) times. If after four (4) adjustments and the combustion is still not within the specified range, revisit the possible causes in Table 3-6 or replace the gas valve.
