VICTORY II VHS Models

3.Perform “Venting System Regular Inspection” on Page 14.

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 radia- tion should not occur.

4.Low water cutoff for operation (see instructions fur- nished with unit).

D.Boiler Room Air Supply

Check air vents for continued positive supply of air as required. Air needs are greatest in cold weather. Air vents must be open and free of obstruction.

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

2.Inspection During Heating Season

A.Check water pressure regularly and add water slowly to system when needed. If much water is added, vent- ing may be necessary. Regular loss of water from boil- er 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 System Regular Inspection” on Page 14.

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

3.Annual Inspection and Cleaning

The following must be done by a competent serviceperson to help insure safe and reliable operation:

A.Flue passage cleaning

See Figure 23. It is suggested that paper be placed on burners to collect any foreign material in cleaning flues.

1.Remove control box (see instruction under “Safety Check”. See Figure 20).

2.Remove jacket top.

3.Remove inducer assembly.

4.Remove flue collector.

5.Use wire brush to clean flue passages.

6.Replace flue collector and re-seal with furnace cement.

7.Replace inducer assembly, jacket top and control box.

8.Remove and dispose of paper and accumulated material.

Figure 23.

B. Cleaning of burners

If burners’ surfaces are not clean, or uneven flame indicates plugged burner parts, remove and clean burners.

1.Remove pilot gas line at gas valve.

2.Disconnect pilot burner assembly from pilot bracket.

3.Lift burner and remove burner from orifice.

4.Clean burners. To clean burners, run a clean flue brush up the tube until all foreign matter is removed.

5.Replace burners, pilot assembly, ignitor and sensor wires.

6.Adjust burners and pilot assembly.

C.Re-check of input gas rate of burners. See “Burner Adjustment” on Page 19.

D.Re-adjusting for best flame characteristics of main flame and pilot burner flame. See “Burner Adjustment” on Page 19.

E.To prolong the life of inducer motor, lubricate with Anderol 465 or SAE 20 motor oil annually. Turn off power and place 4-6 drops of above mentioned lubri- cate in each of two oil holes. Lubricate circulator per manufacturer’s instruction. DO NOT over oil any motor.

WARNING:

The ceramic combustion chamber in the burner box contains crystalline silica.

Wear proper dust mask and gloves when servicing combustion chamber or burners.

Crystalline Silica has been identified as a carcinogen or possibly carcinogenic to humans.
