ANNUAL MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
Annual maintenance and inspection must be performed prior to each heating season, and includes
the following tasks which must be done by a factory trained technician.
Observe the general operation of the unit to verify the following:
13. Stack temperature readings are in line with factory test fire and regular maintenance reports.
14. Boiler is lighting reliably and quietly.
15. There are no unusual sounds coming from the burner or blower assembly.
16. It is considered good practice to remove and inspect the burner and ignition assembly on an
annual basis. Follow Section 4.7 Procedure for Removing/Cleaning Burner in this manual if
there is evidence of foreign matter built up on the burner or ignition assembly.
17. The heat exchanger must be inspected and cleaned, as needed. Follow Section 4.9 Procedure
for Cleaning the Heat Exchanger in this manual.

PROCEDURE FOR CLEANING THE AIR INLET FILTER

The air filter is an optional part and does not come with every boiler.
Proceed as follows:
1. Remove the filter. The filter sits between the air inlet connection to the venturi and an adapter
plate, bolted to each corner of the venturi flange, accessible from the front of the boiler.
2. Remove all debris and dirt from the filter using a vacuum cleaner.
3. Return the filter to its original position in the slot.
Note: Where an internal ductwork arrangement is also included in the boiler for room sealed applications, the filter
will not be accessible for cleaning and it must be removed along with the foam gasket tape between the venturi
and adapter plate and both the tape and filter should be replaced.
Any damage to the burner or any other aspect of the boiler because of an air filter that was not cleaned

ExAMINE THE FLUE SYSTEM

1. Check all joints and pipe connections for tightness.
2. Check vent for corrosion or deterioration. If any venting needs replacing, do so immediately.
3. Perform any recommended maintenance as required by the vent material manufacturer.
4. Check to ensure loop traps are flooded.
4.7

INSPECT HEATING SYSTEM FOR OTHER PROBLEMS

1. Perform combustion analysis and adjust if necessary.
2. Leak test gas valves. Leak Test must be performed only by qualified personnel, who have been
trained in this procedure by Fulton.
