3 Bobcat Model B-120A and B-200A

INSPECTION

Your boiler and heating system will last an indefinitely long time at full efficiency, if it is inspected regularly and is kept in good repair and adjustment. You, the user, should make regular inspections, and report any problems to your service agency. At regular intervals, you should have that agency inspect the system and make repair adjustments as necessary. What you and the service agency should do is listed below. Contact your gas supplier for a list of qualified service and repair agencies.

USER INSPECTION

The user should make the following inspections at least once each month during the heating season and once just before cold weather starts. Bobcat B-120 and B-200 boil- ers may be installed and vented either as direct-vent boil- er, which all air for combustion is obtained directly from outside through the air intake piping or as non-direct- vent boiler, which all air for combustion is taken from inside the boiler room. Typical direct-vent installations are shown on Figures 2 and 3. Non-direct-vent installation is shown on Figures 4, 5 and 6.

1.VENTING AND AIR INTAKE SYSTEM REGULAR INSPECTION

Inspect the system regularly for condensation, corrosion, sagging and/or physical damage. A qualified professional should service the boiler annually and include such an inspection at that time. The homeowner should look over the system monthly for damage, water stains, any signs of rust, other corrosions or separation of the vent and air intake piping (if direct-vent).

Should an inspection turn up signs of condensation, corrosion, sagging or damage, the boiler should be shut down immediately and the condition should be corrected by a qualified professional.

If the boiler is vented horizontally through the wall, the outside termination, louvers and screen should be checked for any debris blocking the opening and cleaned as required.
