CORRECTIVE ACTION
• Refer to Section 7 - Gas Connections of the Knight
Boiler Installation and Operation Manual for detailed
and information concerning the gas supply.

system pump are running on a call for heat.
• Properly purge all air from the piping system.
• Verify system pressure is a minimum of 12 psi.
• Replace fuse F1 on the control board, see page 33 of
this manual.
Note: Make sure pump amperage does not exceed
1.8 amps.
• Replace pump.
• Replace main control board.
• Lower the system pressure below the 30 psi rating of
the supplied relief valve or replace the standard relief
valve with a higher rated valve up to the maximum
pressure of the heat exchanger.
• Improperly sized expansion tank.
