c. Fit the hand hole assembly as follows:
i.
Place the gasket on the hand hole
plate and ensure that it is seating
correctly. Do not use any grease,
lubricant, or adh esive.
ii. Position the plate in the boiler. Set
the yoke and tighten the securing nut
sufficiently enough to provide a snug
fit. Verify the position of the plate in
the boiler, then make it hand tight and
then snug with wrench about
Do not compress excessively.

gasket.
iii. If the gasket leaks while pressure
is being built up, tighten only enough
to stop leakage. Never tighten more
than necessary to prevent leakage.
Excessive tightening may shorten the
life of the gasket.

d. Refill the boiler with fresh water.
NOTE
After a new Fulton Boiler has been in
operation for several months, pieces of
burned metal will be found in the space
at the bottom of the boiler. These pieces
of metal are the remains of a light gauge
metal form which was used during
manufacture for forming the boiler
insulation. This is a normal condition
and does not affect the efficiency or the
life of the boiler in any way.

Troubleshooting
The following trouble shooting guide will
assist in the diagnosis and the correction of
minor field problems. It contains instructions
and information necessary to locate and
isolate possible troubles which occur during
normal operation. It should be used in
conjunction with the unit wiring diagram and
the component literature provided in
Section 7 of this manual.
The following lists cover the most common
troubles that may occur on the Fulton gas
fired boilers. Refer to left hand column of
the chart to locate the problem. Determine
which cause, listed in the center column,
that represents the problem by performing
the corrective action as listed in the right
hand column titled "REMEDY".
