CHAPTER 17 - MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES

17.1. Service Technician Maintenance Procedures

WARNING
The EXALT must be inspected and serviced annually,
preferably at the start of the heating season, by a
qualified service technician. In addition, the owner
maintenance and care of the unit as outlined in
Chapter 16 on page 83 and further explained in
the EXALT User's Information manual should be
performed to assure maximum efficiency and
reliability of the unit. Failure to service and maintain
the EXALT and the system components can result in
equipment failure, resulting in substantial property
damage, serious injury, or death.
NOTICE
The following information provides detailed
instructions for completing the service techni-
cian maintenance items outlined in the main-
tenance schedule of Chapter 16 on page 83.

17.2. Reported Problems

Any problems reported by the owner should be
checked, verified and corrected before proceeding
with any maintenance procedures.

17.3. Check Surrounding Area

• Verify that the area surrounding the EXALT is free of
combustible / flammable materials or flammable
vapors or liquids. Remove immediately if found.
• Verify that combustion air inlet area is free of any
contaminates. Refer to the materials listed in
Section 2.1 on page 5 of this manual. If any of
these products are in the area from which the unit
takes its combustion air, they must be removed
immediately or the combustion air intake must be
relocated to another area.

17.4. Inspect Burner Area

• Remove the boiler front jacket panel and venturi
inlet elbow.
• Vacuum any dirt or debris from the burner/blower
components.
• Check the burner plate mounting nuts for
tightness, see Section 17.24 on page 87 for
torque specification.
• Check burner plate gasket for discoloration or damage.
• Check for flue gas leakage where the condensate
pan connects to the heat exchanger and at the top
and bottom of the internal vent pipe.
84
• Re-install venturi inlet elbow and front jacket panel
when completed.
WARNING
Do not use solvents to clean any of the burner
components. The components could be damaged,
resulting in unreliable or unsafe operation. Failure
to comply with this instruction can result in sub-
stantial property damage, serious injury, or death.

17.5. Check System Piping

• Inspect all water and gas piping for leaks and verify
that the piping is properly supported.
• Inspect the fittings and components on the unit
and verify they are leak free.
WARNING
Eliminate all system water leaks. Continual fresh
make-up water will reduce the heat exchanger life
causing boiler failure. Leaking water may also cause
severe property damage to the surrounding area.
Inspect the gas supply piping using the procedure
11.3.3 on page 71
outlined in Section
comply with this instruction can result in substantial
property damage, serious injury, or death.

17.6. Clean Condensate Drain Assembly

NOTICE
For the EXALT Combi unit, the front panel needs
to be removed to gain access to the condensate
drain assembly.
• Loosen the retaining nut from the condensate drain
assembly and disconnect the assembly from the boiler.
• Empty any water from the trap and flush with fresh
water as necessary to clean.
• Remove plastic ball and clean with fresh water.
• Check the drain piping from the condensate drain
assembly to the drain. Refer to Section 6.2 on page
37. Flush to clean as necessary.
• Install the plastic ball into the condensate drain
assembly and reassemble onto the boiler by
tightening the retaining nut with rubber seal onto
the boiler. Hand tight only.
• Remove the fill plug on the condensate drain
assembly and fill with water. See Fig. 24 on page 38.
• Replace the fill plug on drain assembly.
