HANDLING CERAM IC FIBER
MATERIALS
REMOVING BURNER GASKET or
COVER PLATE INSULATION
The Ultra burner gasket (models 80
and 105) and cover plate insula-
tion (all models) contain ceramic
fi ber material. Ceramic fi bers can
be converted to cristobalite in very
high temperature applications. The
International Agency for Research
on Cancer (IARC) has concluded,
"Crystalline silica inhaled in the
form of quartz or cristobalite from
occupational sources is carcinogenic
to humans (Group 1).":
■ Avoid breathing dust and contact with skin
and eyes.
Use NIOSH certified dust respirator
(N95). This type of respirator is based on
the OSHA requirements for cristobalite
at the time this document was written.
Other types of respirators may be needed
depending on the job site conditions.
Current NIOSH recommendations can
be found on the NIOSH web site at http://
www.cdc.gov/niosh/homepage.html.
NIOSH approved respirators, manufactur-
ers, and phone numbers are also listed on
this web site.
Wear long-sleeved, loose fi tting clothing,
gloves, and eye protection.
■ Apply enough water to the combustion
chamber lining or base insulation to prevent
airborne dust.
■ Remove combustion chamber lining or base
insulation from the boiler and place it in a
plastic bag for disposal.
■ Wash potentially contaminated clothes
separately from other clothing. Rinse clothes
washer thoroughly.
NIOSH stated First Aid
■ Eye: Irrigate immediately
■ Breathing: Fresh air.

gas-fired water boiler — Boiler Manual
FIRST-YEAR SPECIAL INSPECTION
heat exchanger cover plate gasket, burner gasket (80
and 105 only), new ignitor, and ignitor gasket. See list-
ing in Replacement parts section of this manual. These
parts must be on hand when you perform the fi rst-year
inspection in the event they must be replaced.
Failure to replace the items above when needed could
result in severe personal injury, death or substantial
property damage.
a fi rst-year inspection of the boiler. This must include the fol-
lowing
a. Remove the heat exchanger cover plate (see page 112 for
instructions on removal and replacement).
b. Inspect the heat exchanger and clean if necessary (see "Clean-
ing the heat exchanger — pin side when required," page 125,
and all referenced illustrations and instructions).
c. Inspect the cover plate insulation and gasket. Replace if not
in good condition.
d. Remove the burner and inspect carefully. Clean the burner
thoroughly using a vacuum cleaner and a soft brush if
needed. Make sure there is no blockage or accumulation of
debris in the burner or the burner ports. Replace the burner
if necessary.
e. Models 80 and 105 only — inspect the burner gasket, and
replace if the gasket is not in good condition. Make sure the
burner is clean. Then securely fasten it tightly to the cover
plate.
f. Disconnect condensate trap and drain lines. Inspect, then
fl ush thoroughly.
2. Determine follow-up maintenance and service needs based on
the condition of the heat exchanger and condensate lines.
a. If the heat exchanger shows substantial fouling, or if con-
densate lines show accumulation of sediment, schedule a
follow-up service call to perform the fi rst-year inspection
again, sooner than the normal twelve months between.
b. Heavy fouling of the exchanger or condensate lines indicates
possible combustion air contamination. Inspect the air in-
take area carefully, and remove possible contaminants. See
Figure 11, page 16 , for products to avoid.
You must eliminate causes of corrosion and contami-
nation to ensure reliable operation of the boiler and
system.
