valve and run through start-up procedure, The
safety switch should lock out as in flame failure.
C.
Power failure
- Turn off main power supply switch
while burner is operating. When burner stops,
restore power and burner should start.
If operation is not as described as above, check
wiring and controls.
Preventive maintenance - of oil fired boiler reduces
operating costs. Boiler and vent pipe should be
inspected for accumulation of soot or scale deposits
periodically but at least once every year before start
of each heating season. When soot is present on
section walls and flueways, improper combustion will
result, causing additional sooting and scaling until
flueways are completely closed. To remove soot and
scale from flueways, remove top jacket panel, top
clean-out plate, open burner swing door.

Periodic Inspection - and tightening of tankless
heater/cover plate bolts will reduce risk of leaks. See
Replacement Parts "Heat Exchanger" section.
