EUTECTIC EC-10
F. Once burner and draft have been set up, then smoke, CO
and stack temperature should be checked and recorded. If
smoke is greater than trace, review the burner instructions
and replace the nozzle if necessary. Normal smoke to be
expected is zero to a trace.
G. Make sure that the observation port cover is closed and the
two screws are tightened.
CLEANING AND FILLING A NEW WATER BOILER
I. There are a number of commercial preparations available
from your distributor for cleaning and for corrosion
protection conditioning the internal (waterside) surfaces of
boilers. Follow the preparation manufacturer's instructions.
DANGER: Use caution when handling chemicals and
draining hot water from a boiler. Scalding water and/or
chemicals can cause permanent injury to the skin, eyes
and respiratory system.
II. Filling and venting the water boiler after cleaning
A. Refill the system with fresh water.
B. Bring water temperature to at least 82°C (180° F)
promptly.
C. Circulate water through entire system.
D. Vent the system, including the radiation.
E. The boiler is now ready to be put into service or on
standby.
F. If brand name air-control devices are used, venting
instructions furnished with the devices should
be followed.
III. Safety check for control system
High limit control test: Set thermostat high enough for boiler
water temperature to reach high limit control setting. When
this temperature is reached, the high limit switch should
open, and the burner should shut off automatically. If the
high limit does not operate to shut off the burner, the high
limit or the wiring is faulty. Repair or replace immediately.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
I. EXTENDED SHUTDOWN, CLEANING OR REMOVAL OF
BOILER FROM SERVICE.
DANGER: Use CAUTION when handling chemicals and
draining hot water from a boiler. Scalding water and/or
chemicals can cause permanent injury to the skin, eyes and
respiratory system.
A. Shut down burner by disconnecting all electrical power
to the burner by turning OFF the BURNER
