    The shipped condition is only intended to protect the boiler from weather during transport, not additional long term storage. Some parts are shipped loose with the boiler. Boil out chemicals, if purchased from TRIAD are shipped separately. 4.2 Unloading the boiler-burner unit Your new boiler-burner unit has two lifting lugs located on the top of the boiler to be used for unloading.
  • Page 27: Boiler Unloading Instructions

     Upon arrival, inspect the boiler and any parts shipped with the boiler. If any damage is found, notify Triad Boiler Systems, Inc. and note damage on the bill of lading and any other receiving papers.  The boiler is designed to be lifted by the lifting lugs only. The use of tow motors, etc., is not acceptable and can damage the boiler.

    NOTE: Use of this hot water boiler for temporary heating of an unfinished building is not recommended by TRIAD. Use of the boiler prior to closing the building and balancing of the heating system may lead to thermal shock and leakage. Use of the boiler for temporary heat will render the warranty void against leakage.

    Treatment is primarily to eliminate corrosion and pitting cause by alkalinity and oxygen. It is usually necessary to treat the water in a heating boiler once a year at the beginning of the heating season. TRIAD recommends you consult a competent water consultant to determine your water treatment. The appearance of scale, corrosion or pitting is definite evidence that water treatment is needed.

    7.10.2 Refractory Refractory is part of the burner mount. The refractory typically has a life of about seven (7) years. TRIAD recommends that you order one of each once you see any spauling of refractory. After ten (10) years, even if the refractory looks good, it should be replaced.

  • Page 62: Out Of Service Operations

    When a boiler is taken out of service, it should be laid-up using either the wet or dry procedure. NOTE: TRIAD does not warranty boilers out of operation that are not properly laid up for extended periods of time. If the boiler could be subject to freezing temperatures when out of service, the boiler must be laid up dry.

    10.5 Re-commissioning 1. When approaching the end of your lay-up time, review the operator logs for any items that may need to be replaced. Some items can take time to procure. TRIAD Boiler Systems, Inc. West Chicago, IL www.triadboiler.com...
  • Page 64 2. Check that you have gaskets/seals to replace any that have been opened. This likely includes gaskets for smoke box doors, cleanout plug, inspection plugs and sight glass. Your spare parts list will be helpful in determining exactly what is needed. TRIAD or a TRIAD representative can supply you with spare parts.
