10. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE FEEDER
1. Periodic checks of the furnace during operation of the boiler can only be
carried out through the furnace doors.
2. Remove the slag periodically, if it accumulates in the furnace of the boiler
(it may impede the flow of air).
3. Check the fuel level in the tank.
4. The fuel put into the reservoir must be dry.
5. Check whether no dust or other waste accumulated in the tank and the
feeder cover pipe, and remove it when necessary.
6. Check condition of air nozzles and patency of air outlets.
7. Periodically clean dust and residues of fuel or ash from the feeder.
8. Regularly clean the motor casing using a dry cloth.
9. Do not use any solvents for cleaning as they may damage sealing rings
and gaskets.
10. When the boiler, together with the feeder, is removed from operation, qu-
arterly start the augers, moving grate mechanism and blower fan for 15
minutes – thus preventing any blocking of the moving parts.
11. Check the accumulation of dust or other waste in the air chamber – thro-
ugh the clean out (access to the ash box, see. Figure 7 item 14)
