Check boiler interior piping
1.Remove boiler jacket top.
2.Visually inspect for leaks around internal piping, circulators, relief valve and other fittings. Immedi- ately call a qualified service technician to repair any leaks.
Have leaks fixed at once by a qualifed service techni- cian. Continual fresh makeup water will reduce boiler life. Minerals can build up in sections, reducing heat transfer, overheating cast iron, and causing section fail- ure.
Do not use
Check venting system
1.Visually inspect the flue gas vent piping for any signs of blockage, leakage or joints or deteriora- tion of the piping. Notify your qualified service technician at once if you find any problem.
Failure to inspect the vent system as noted above and have them repaired by a qualifed service technician can result in vent system failure, causing severe personal injury or death.
Figure 1 — Relief valve
Check boiler relief valve
1.Inspect the boiler relief valve (see Figure 1) and the relief valve discharge pipe for signs of weeping or leakage.
2.If the relief valve often weeps, the expansion tank may not be working properly. Immediately con- tact your qualified service technician to inspect the boiler and system.
Check condensate drain system
1.Inspect condensate drain fittings and tubing. Verify that condensate can flow freely to drain.
Check automatic air vents (if used)
1.See Figure 2.
2.Remove the cap from any automatic air vent in the system and check operation by depressing valve B slightly with the tip of a screwdriver.
3.If the air vent valve appears to be working freely and not leaking, replace cap A, twisting all the way on.
4.Loosen cap A one turn to allow vent to operate.
5.Have vent replaced if it does not operate correctly.
