Maintenance Procedures - Slant/Fin CB-45 Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES

This section must be brought to the owner's attention, so
the owner can make necessary arrangements with a
qualified heating contractor for periodic maintenance of
this boiler. Installer must also inform owner that the lack of
proper care and maintenance of this boiler may result in a
hazardous condition. Installer should discuss contents of
the User's Information Manual with the owner.
KEEP THE BOILER AREA CLEAR AND FREE FROM
COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS, GASOLINE AND OTHER
FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS.
BEFORE EACH HEATING SEASON
A trained and qualified service technician should perform the
inspections listed in these instructions at least once a year.
Air filter: Located in sheet metal box in front area of boiler.
One quarter turn fasteners hold air filter box cover on.
Replace (recommended) or clean filter annually (more
often if conditions dictate). Slant/Fin replacement air filter,
part number 66-0515 must be used. Can be cleaned with
soap and water; after drying, spray with an adhesive-type
air filter spray which will attract/hold airborne dust particles.
Vent termination: Check for and remove obstructions.
Closet installations: Check for and remove ventilation
and/or combustion air opening obstructions.
Vent tubing: Check for and repair tubing separation, leaks
or sagging.
Vent tubing (externally): Check for corrosion of vent
material. If corrosion is present, replace and reseal
exhaust tubing assembly. If corrosion is present on
galvanized vent material (approved for use on Category I
installations only), this material should be replaced with
#29-4C stainless steel.
Vent and air intake tubing (internally): Check for and
remove obstructions. To inspect, remove tubing from
boiler. When finished, reseal all removed tubing parts with
manufacturer's specified sealant.
Heat exchanger: In the unlikely event of boiler flue
passage blockage, service to remedy situation must be
performed only by an authorized Slant/Fin representative.
Burner: Annual service of the burner is not necessary. Follow
the burner removal procedure on page 27 when improper
operation of the boiler necessitates inspection of this part.
System water: Check if full of water and properly
pressurized. Check for and correct radiation system
air "noise".
Water piping: Check for and repair any leaks.
Gas piping: Check for and repair any leaks.
Clear plastic tubing: Located around burner enclosure
area. Check for cracked, loose or blocked conditions.
Replace if necessary.
Safety shutdown controls: Check operation as detailed on
page 21 in this manual.
Blower: This is a sealed component which does not
require lubrication. Check convoluted boot on blower
outlet for air leakage. Replace if necessary.
Circulator: Some models require lubrication. S.A.E. #20
oil recommended.
WATER TREATMENT
A good water treatment program will extend the useful life
of the boiler and is especially recommended in areas
where water quality is a problem. A reputable water
treatment company should be consulted for determining
the best overall treatment program for this equipment.
FREEZE PROTECTION
If anti-freeze must be used, INHIBITED PROPYLENE
GLYCOL is recommended as it is practically non-toxic. Fo
useful information on the characteristics and mixing
proportions of anti-freeze in heating systems, obtain a
copy of Technical Topics No. 2A from Hydronics Institute,
34 Russo Place, Berkeley Heights, NJ 07922.
WARNING: DO NOT USE ETHYLENE GLYCOL,
AN AUTOMOTIVE-TYPE OR UNDILUTED ANTI-FREEZE. SEVERE BOILER
DAMAGE CAN RESULT.
IF REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE NEEDED
When parts are needed, refer to boiler model and serial
number shown on the boiler name/rating plate. Whenever
possible refer to the original order by number and date.
Control identification and replacement should not be
attempted by unskilled personnel. Only simple, easily
identified controls and parts may be obtained locally. All
other controls and parts should be identified by and
ordered from Slant/Fin. Relief/Safety valves must be ASME
rated for the pressure and gross output of the boiler.
This boiler is equipped with an unconventional gas
control. If this control is replaced, it must be replaced with
an identical gas control and calibrated as specified in the
Operation Procedures.
