hand side panel. See 5.1, 5.2 & 5.3 in 'Routine
Maintenance'.

system pressure by opening the pressure relief valve,
then part drain the water from the boiler by opening the
bleed valve on the right hand side of the diverter valve.

and fluehood will need to be removed, see 5.4 & 5.5 in
'Routine Maintenance'

vent cap is left loose.
Re-assemble in reverse order, ensure that the
