Maintenance
7.1
Notes on safety for the maintenance
The periodic maintenance is essential for the good operation,
safety, yield and duration of the burner.
It allows you to reduce consumption and polluting emissions and
to keep the product in a reliable state over time.
The maintenance interventions and the calibration
of the burner must only be carried out by qualified,
authorised personnel, in accordance with the con-
tents of this manual and in compliance with the
DANGER
standards and regulations of current laws.

Maintenance programme
7.2.1
Maintenance frequency
The gas combustion system should be checked at
least once a year by a representative of the man-
ufacturer or another specialised technician.
7.2.2
Safety test - with no gas supply
To perform commissioning in safety conditions, it is very impor-
tant to check correct wiring between gas valves and burner.
For this purpose, after checking that connections comply with the
burner wiring diagrams, it is necessary to carry out a start-up cy-
cle with gas cock closed (dry test).
1
The manual gas valve must be closed using the locking/
unlocking device ("Lock-out / tag out" procedure).
2
Ensure that burner limit electrical contacts are closed
3
Ensure that minimum gas pressure switch contact is closed
4
Try to start the burner.
The start-up cycle must occur according to the following steps:
-
Fan motor start-up for pre-purging
-
Gas valve leak detection control, if applicable.
-
Pre-purging completion
-
Achievement of the ignition point
-
Power supply of the ignition transformer
-
Supply of gas valves.
As gas is closed, the burner cannot ignite and its control box will
switch to stop or safety lockout condition.
The actual supply of gas valves can be checked by inserting a
tester; some valves are equipped with lights (or closing/opening
position indicators) that activate as soon as they are powered.
IF POWER SUPPLY OF GAS VALVES OC-
CURS IN UNEXPECTED MOMENTS, DO NOT
OPEN THE MANUAL VALVE, DISCONNECT
WARNING
POWER SUPPLY, CHECK WIRINGS, COR-
RECT THE ERRORS AND CARRY OUT THE
WHOLE TEST AGAIN.

Maintenance
Before carrying out any maintenance, cleaning or checking oper-
ations:
Disconnect the electrical supply from the burner
by means of the system main switch.
DANGER
Close the fuel shut-off valve.
DANGER
Wait for the components in contact with heat
sources to cool down completely.
7.2.3
Checking and cleaning
The operator must use the required equipment
during maintenance.
Burner
Check that there are not excess wear or loosen screws. The
screws securing the electrical leads in the burner plugs should
also be fully tightened.
Clean the outside of the burner.
Clean and grease the adjustable profile of the cams.
Fan
Check to make sure that no dust has accumulated inside the fan
or on its impellers, as this condition will cause a reduction in the
air flow rate and provoke polluting combustion.
Boiler
Clean the boiler as indicated in its accompanying instructions in
order to maintain all the original combustion characteristics in-
tact, especially: the flue gas temperature and combustion cham-
ber pressure.
Gas leaks
Make sure that there are no gas leaks on the pipe between the
gas meter and the burner.
Gas filter
Change the gas filter when it is dirty.
