Maintenance
6
The boiler should be inspected and started annually, at the beginning of the heating
season, only by a qualified service technician. In addition, the maintenance and care of
the boiler designated on page 5 and explained on the following pages must be performed
to assure maximum boiler efficiency and reliability. Failure to service and maintain the
boiler and system could result in equipment failure, causing possible severe personal
injury, death or substantial property damage.
The following information provides detailed instructions for completing the mainte-
nance items listed in the maintenance schedule, page 5. In addition to this maintenance,
the boiler must be serviced and started up at the beginning of each heating season by
a qualified service technician.
Check boiler area
To prevent potential of severe per-
sonal injury, death or substantial
property damage, eliminate all
materials discussed below from
the boiler vicinity. If contaminants
are found:
Remove products immediately
from the area. If they have been
there for an extended period, call
a qualified service technician to
inspect the boiler and vent system
for possible damage from acid cor-
rosion.
If products cannot be removed, im-
mediately call a qualified service
technician to address the problem.
1. Combustible/flammable materials — Do not
store combustible materials, gasoline or any
other flammable vapors or liquids near the
boiler. Remove immediately if found.
2. Air contaminants — Products containing
chlorine or fluorine, if allowed to con-
taminate the boiler intake air, will cause
acidic condensate in the vent and boiler.
This will cause significant damage to the vent
and/or boiler if allowed to continue.
3. Read the list of potential materials listed
on page 4 of this manual. If any of these
products are in the room from which the
boiler takes its combustion air, they must be
removed immediately or the boiler combus-
tion air must be supplied from outside.
4. See WARNING above.
Check air openings
1. Verify that combustion and ventilation air
openings to the boiler room and/or building
are open and unobstructed.
2. Verify that boiler vent discharge and air
intake are clean and free of obstructions.
Remove any debris on the air intake or flue
exhaust openings.
Check boiler pressure/
temperature gauge
1. Make sure the pressure reading on the boiler
pressure/temperature gauge does not exceed
24 psig. Higher pressure may indicate a
problem with the expansion tank.
2. Contact a qualified service technician if
problem persists.
Verify that boiler jacket
door is securely closed
Visually inspect boiler jacket door to be sure it
is sealed all around its perimeter. Verify that the
door latches are secure.
The boiler jacket door must be
securely fastened to the boiler
to prevent boiler from drawing
air from inside the boiler room.
Latches should be secure.
This is particularly important if the
boiler is located in the same room
as other appliances.
Failure to keep the door securely
fastened could result in severe
personal injury or death.
Contact your installer or techni-
cian immediately if the front
door does not close correctly or
if the door gaskets are damaged.
