In order to ensure that the boiler
continues to operate at its peak
performance, safety and efficiency,
observe and follow the
recommendations for maintenance,
inspection and service routine. Early
detection of problems and their
immediate repair will usually result in
less damage, lower repair cost and
continued safe operation.
Check pressure gage for correct system (water) pressure.
Check for water on floor from discharge pipe of the
pressure relief valve or any other pipe, pipe joint, valve or
air vent.
Check for moisture, water, or appearance of rust on flue
gas pipes or their joints.
The area around the outside side wall vent terminal must be
inspected frequently when severe weather conditions
prevail, otherwise on a weekly basis to ensure that the vent
terminal is not blocked by snow, ice or debris.
Ensure that nothing is obstructing the flow of combustion
ventilation air and no chemicals, garbage, gasoline,
chlorides, combustible materials, flammable vapors and
liquids are stored (not even temporarily) in the vicinity of
the boiler.
Inspect low water cut-offs, including flushing of float types
(if used).
Inspect flow switch (if used).
Inspect main burner flame and pilot burner (see Figs. 13
and 14a on page 29).
A service/inspection of the boiler and the system is
mandatory once a year.
Before heating season starts, boiler/burner should be
serviced by a qualified service agency. The owner should
establish a service contract with a qualified service agency.
