HANDLING CERAMIC FIBER
MATERIALS
REMOVAL OF SIGHT GLASS GASKET
The sight glass gasket in this product contains
ceramic fiber materials that have been identi-
fied as carcinogenic, or possibly carcinogenic,
to humans. Ceramic fibers can be converted
to cristobalite in very high temperature ap-
plications. 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 respira-
tors 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.
❏ Apply enough water to the sight glass gasket to prevent
airborne dust.
❏ Remove sight glass gasket 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.

FIRED WATER BOILER
FIRST-YEAR SPECIAL INSPECTION
1.
perform a first-year inspection of the boiler. This must
include the following
start-up procedures
a. Remove the heat exchanger cover plate. Inspect the
heat exchanger and clean if necessary. See instruc-
tions for removing and replacing the heat exchanger
cover plate, and for cleaning the heat exchanger, in
the Maintenance section of this manual.
b. Make sure the burner is clean.
c. Make sure the burner gasket is in good condition.
Replace if necessary.
d. Disconnect condensate trap and drain lines. In-
spect, then flush thoroughly.
2. Determine 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 " Corrosive contami-
nants and sources," Figure 21, page 24, for products
to avoid.
You must eliminate causes of corrosion and
contamination to ensure reliable operation
of the boiler and system.
