HANDLING CERAMIC FIBER
MATERIALS
REMOVING BURNER GASKET or
COVER PLATE INSULATION
The ECO cover plate refractory
contain ceramic fiber material.
Ceramic fibers 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, manufacturers, and phone
numbers are also listed on this web site.
• Wear long-sleeved, loose fitting clothing,
gloves, and eye protection.
■ Handle carefully to minimize dust that could
be caused by abrasion.
■ If replacement is necessary, remove the
refractory 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.

— Boiler Manual
FIRST-YEAR SPECIAL INSPECTION
It is recommended that you obtain a Weil-McLain
Boiler Maintenance kit before attempting the
first-year inspection, to ensure all parts that may
be needed are available
exchanger cover plate gasket, burner gasket, new ignitor,
and ignitor gasket. See listing in Replacement parts
section of this manual. These parts must be on hand
when you perform the first-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.
1. No later than 12 months
first-year inspection of the boiler. This should include the following
in addition to routine annual start-up procedures
a. Inspect the heat exchanger and clean if necessary (see page 105,
ECO 70 or 110, or page 111, ECO 155, for access and cleaning
procedures).
b. Inspect the cover plate refractory and gasket. Replace if not in
good condition.
c. Inspect the burner and inspect carefully. Clean the burner
thoroughly using a vacuum cleaner and compressed air if
needed.
d. Make sure there is no blockage or accumulation of debris in
the burner or the burner ports. Replace the burner if necessary.
e. ECO 70 or 110: Check the burner for tightness. Remove the
cover plate refractory and tighten the burner mounting screws
if needed, following the instructions on page 105.
f. ECO 155: Check burner access cover for tightness.
g. Make sure to follow the inspection procedure given in "Check
exchanger and vent seals," page 87.
h. Disconnect the condensate trap and drain lines. Inspect, then
flush thoroughly. Reinstall and refill the trap per page 81.
2. Determine any 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 condensate
lines show accumulation of sediment, schedule a follow-up
service call to perform the first-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 intake
area carefully, and remove possible contaminants. See page 22,
for products to avoid.
You must eliminate causes of corrosion and contamination
to ensure reliable operation of the boiler and system.
