Annual Cleaning Instructions
Annually, before the heating season begins (fall) or immediately after it ends (spring), the Triton is to be cleaned
and serviced by a licensed burner technician. If the burner is not used for an extended period of time, it must also
be cleaned before being put back into service (start-up).
Handling Instructions - Accidental contact with potentially carcinogenic insulating
materials can occur when cleaning the boiler. Read and follow the handling instructions in
Section 9.0 regarding recommended personal protective equipment before commencing service on the boiler.
Cleaning the Fire Tubes:

3. Remove burner.
4. Remove breeching, jacket tops, smoke hood, and baffles (see Figure 10-1 for boiler parts breakout).
5. Carefully clean fire tubes from the top down with a fire tube brush. To prevent damaging the ceramic
refractory in the combustion chamber, do not extend brush beyond bottom of the fire tubes.
6. Vacuum debris out of the burner and combustion chamber.
7. Reinstall the burner and seal around burner flange with high temperature silicone.
