CARE AND MAINTENANCE

This section must be brought to the attention of the owner by the installer so that the owner can make the necessary arrange- ments with a qualified service agency for the periodic care and maintenance of the boiler. The installer must also inform the owner that the lack of proper care and maintenance of this boiler and any fuel burning equipment may result in a hazardous condi- tion. Installer should discuss contents of the User’s Information Manual (Publication J-UIM) with the owner.

A trained and qualified service technician should perform the inspection listed in these instructions before each heating season and at regular intervals.

I. GENERAL MAINTENANCE

A.Safety check, see page 38.

B.Vent and air intake system inspection

1.Check for obstruction, condensation, corrosion and physical damage.

2.Check outside termination. Screen and louvers should be free of any debris and must be cleaned as required.

3.Perform “Venting and Air intake System Regular Inspection”, see page 16.

C.Piping

Check the following:

1.Water piping and accessories for leaks. Slightest leaks should be corrected.

2.System to be full of water and pressure to remain stable at correct setting on gauge.

3.Air-control system. Noise and air binding in radiation should not occur.

4.Low water cutoff for operation (see instruction furnished with unit).

D.Boiler Room Air Supply

Check air vents for continuous positive supply of air as required. Air needs are greatest in cold weather if boiler installation is non-direct vent method. Air vents must open and free of obstruction.

WARNING: The flow of combustion and ventilating air to the boiler should not be obstructed.

II. INSPECTION DURING HEATING SEASON

A.Check water pressure regularly and add water slowly to system when needed. If much water is added, venting may be necessary. Regular loss of water from boiler system may indicate either a system leak, or a faulty air control system, or a faulty automatic fill valve.

B.Check venting system. See “Venting and Air Intake System Regular Inspection” on page 16.

C.Check condensation drain trap to be full of water. Check for deterioration of the tubing. Check that the trap is not plugged.

D.The combustion blower does not require or have provisions for lubrication.

E.If required, lubricate the circulator as per the manufacturer’s instruction.

III. CLEANING

A.Heat Exchanger: In the unlikely event of flue passage or water passage blockage, service to remedy situation must be performed only by an authorized Slant/FIn representative.

B.Burner: In the unlikely event of blockage or deterioration, service to remedy situation must be performed only by an authorized Slant/Fin representative.

IF REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE NEEDED

When parts are needed, refer to boiler model and serial number shown on the boiler name/rating plate. Refer to publication number J-10PL replacement parts for part numbers. Whenever possible refer to the original order by number and date.

Control identification and replacement should not be attempted by unskilled personnel. Only, simple easily - identified controls and parts may be obtained locally. All other control and parts should be identified by and ordered form Slant./Fin. Relief/Safety valves must be ASME rated for the pressure and gross output of the boiler.

For replacement parts, heating contractors should contact their Slant/Fin boiler distributor.
