(7)If equipped with vent damper, which can ONLY be installed on boilers equipped with 24 volt gas valve:

(a)Your vent damper must be OPEN when the boiler is operating (BURNERS ARE ON). Ask your installer or serviceperson to show you the vent damper posi- tion indicator, indicating the open and closed damper positions. Inspect for proper operation monthly. If damper position indicator indicates that the damper is closed when the boiler is operating, SHUTDOWN the boiler immediately and call your service agency.

(b)This device must be installed and inspected annually by a qualified installer in accordance with the Slant/Fin vent damper installation instructions. If improperly installed, a hazardous condition such as explosion or carbon monoxide poisoning could result. If installed improperly, all vent damper and boiler warranties shall be voided.

If you find during your inspection any unusual noise, water leak, corroded smokepipe, abnor- mal water pressure or flame rollout, call for service immediately.

SERVICE INSPECTION

The selected service organization should make these inspections, preferably once each year, before the cold weather begins:

(1)Make the checks for leaks, corrosion, noise, flame, heat and outside air supply described under User’s Inspection.

(2)Check safety operation of the HIGH LIMIT CON- TROL (and, for steam boilers, the LOW WATER CUTOFF) and GAS VALVE. If the boiler is equipped with an automatic vent damper, check this device for safe and automatic operation.

(3)Check gas input rate, by clocking the gas meter. Inspect burner flame. Clean and adjust burners and adjust gas rate as required.

(4)Disconnect flue pipe from draft hood. Remove draft hood and inspect boiler heating surface below. If any soot, scale or rust is visible, clean the boiler as described in the next section.

(5)Replace any corroded smokepipe. Repair or re- place other devices as found necessary. Check and adjust for normal operation. Explain to the user what was done and what to look for to prevent fu- ture problems.

Figure 21.

CLEANING—BOILER, SMOKEPIPE, CHIMNEY (See Figure 21). If necessary as indicated

in (4) of Service Inspection section, the selected service organization should clean the boiler as follows:

(1)Shut off electric power and gas supply.

(2)Disconnect smokepipe and remove draft hood.

(3)Remove jacket top panel. Remove flue cover from boiler.

(4)Remove access door and remove burners, or place cover over burners for dirt protection.

(5)Brush down boiler flues to bare metal. Clean all debris from bottom of boiler after brushing. Clean burner slots, if necessary.

(6)Replace flue cover and seal with furnace cement. Replace burners if removed. Replace access door.

(7)Inspect draft hood and smokepipe. If corroded, replace. If soot or deposits from condensation are found, clean out, and inspect inside of chimney for soot or other deposits. Clean if necessary.

(8)Reconnect hood and flue pipe and fasten and seal all joints. Turn on gas and electric power.

(9)Check boiler performance after cleaning, and adjust as necessary.

NOTE: Condensate (water), rust, scale and soot are not found in the boiler or smokepipe of normally operating system. If any of these is found, eliminate the cause. The most likely cause of condensate and corrosion or soot is (a) restricted air supply, or (b) a faulty chimney.

Your gas boiler must be installed and serviced by a qualified service agency or gas supplier. The lack of proper service can result in a dangerous condition.
