to prevent leakage. Excessive tightening may
shorten the life of the gasket.

ƒ Examine The Venting System
1. Check all joints and pipe connections for tightness. Check vent for
corrosion or deterioration. If any venting needs replacing, do so
immediately.
2. Perform any recommended maintenance as required by the vent material
manufacturer.
3. Inspect heating system for other problems.
4. Perform combustion analysis and adjust if necessary.
5. Inspect premix flexible couplings for damage or excessive wear.
6. Check for leaks in gas train, blower, and blower-to-burner piping.

Recommended Annual Maintenance

The following steps should be carried out annually:
1. Have combustion (CO2, O2, CO) and input checked by qualified personnel.
2. Clean dirty flues to prevent air flow restrictions resulting in poor
combustion and loss of efficiency.
3. Flush boiler if necessary. See Boil Out Procedure section of this manual.
More extensive cleaning may be required; consult a local water chemistry
expert for recommendations.
4. Provide annual inspection by a qualified ASME boiler inspector, as required
by local codes.
• 4a. VSRT-9.5 meets the requirements of California Title
8 Subchapter 2 Article 5 Section 771 'Boilers Not
Subject to Annual Inspection'
5. Replace the combustion air inlet filter with a new filter of the same Fulton
part number (type, size, and style) on the VSRT-9.5, VSRT 80-250.
After All Repairs or Maintenance
1. Follow "Pre-Start Check List" and all Safety Checks.
2. Operate the boiler and perform combustion safety checks.
3. Analyze combustion throughout the range and verify proper operation of
safety devices.
