It is suggested that a qualified service agency be employed to make an annual
inspection of the boiler and the heating system. They are experienced in making the
inspection outlined below. In the event repairs or corrections are necessary they can
make the proper changes for safe operation of the boiler.

controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation. Verify proper
operation after service.
1. 1. BEGINNING OF EACH HEATING SEASON
A. Before seasonal start up it is advisable to have a competent service agency
check the boiler for soot and scale in the flues, clean the burners and check the
gas input rate to maintain high operating efficiency and safe operation.
B. The service agency should make certain the system is filled with water to
minimum pressure and open air vents - if used - to expel any air that may have
accumulated in the system.
C. Check automatic air vents for leakage.
D. Inspect the venting system at the start of each heating season. Check the pipe from
the boiler for signs of deterioration and sagging joints. Repair if necessary. Remove
the vent pipe from the boiler and check for obstructions.
E. Clean condensate tee & trap.
Periodically check the condensate trap for water/condensate. The trap should
always have water in it. Refill the trap if it runs dry. If the trap runs dry then flue
gasses can escape.
Periodic cleaning of the condensate
collection system is required. When a
condensate collection system is
installed in a venting system, it is
recommended that the cleaning
become a part of the annual servicing.
The procedure for cleaning this
system is as follows:
1. Remove tubing from condensate
tee.
2. Empty all liquid from tubing.
3. Rinse tubing inside & out in a sink
with water.
4. If the inside of the tubing cannot be
cleaned, the tubing should be replaced with the same type and size of tubing.
5. Add water to trap before replacing.
6. Replace tubing as described in figure 11 above.
7. Visually inspect entire piping system and if any leaks appear, have them repaired
as soon as possible. DO NOT use petroleum based stop leak compounds.
