SECTION 4: MAINTENANCE

This boiler has been designed to provide years of trouble free performance in normal installations. Examination by the homeowner at the beginning of each heating season, and in mid-heating season, should assure continued good perfor- mance. In addition, the boiler should be examined by a qualified service professional at least once every year.

DANGER:To avoid fire and explosion hazards: Do not store anything against the boiler or allow dirt or debris to accumulate in the area immediately surrounding the boiler. Keep boiler area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids. Lint, paper or rags must not be allowed to accumulate near the burners. Do not place clothing on boiler casing to dry.

NOTE: Do not draw water from heating system for clean- ing. Minerals in the water can build up on the heat transfer surfaces and cause overheating and subsequent failure of the cast iron sections.

NOTE: To reduce the risk of fouling, the low water cut-off should be blown down at least once a week during heating season.

BEFORE EACH HEATING SEASON

1.Remove and inspect draft diverter and smoke pipe (con- necting draft diverter to chimney or vent) for obstructions, soot accumulation, rust or corrosion. Clean and replace as necessary. Check tightness of joints; seal all joints where necessary.

2.Check boiler flue passageways in the boiler sections for any blockage or soot accumulation. Remove jacket top and draft diverter. Using a flashlight, examine all flue passage- ways.

a.If passageways are free of soot and obstructions, replace draft diverter and seal with furnace cement.

b.If passageways need cleaning, remove flueway baffles and burners as described in paragraph 3 below. Insert long-handle bristle flue brush down between section tubes and upward through sections from combustion chamber in both diagonal directions to remove carbon from finned surfaces. Vacuum debris. Replace the draft diverter and seal with furnace cement.

c.Reinstall jacket top panel.

3.Check and clean burner assembly. Remove burner access panel. Lift burners up and to rear until burners are disen- gaged from orifices. Brush top of burners with soft bristle brush and blow out with air or vacuum.
