TO: Owners, Operators and/or Maintenance Personnel
Cleaver-Brooks equipment is designed and engineered for long life and excellent service. The electrical and mechanical
devices supplied as part of the unit were chosen because of their known ability to perform; however, proper operating
techniques and maintenance procedures must be followed at all times. Although these components afford a high degree
of protection and safety, due attention must be given to the dangers and hazards inherent in handling and firing of fuel.
“Automatic” design features, where present, do not relieve the attendant of responsibility. Such features merely eliminate
certain repetitive chores, allowing more time for the proper upkeep of equipment.
Controls and safety devices may vary due to state, local, or other applicable codes.
It is recommended that a boiler room log or record be maintained. Recording of daily, weekly, monthly and yearly main-
tenance activities and recording of any unusual operation will serve as a valuable guide to any necessary investigation.
Most instances of major boiler damage are the result of operation with low water. We cannot emphasize too strongly the
need for the operator to periodically check the low water controls and to follow good maintenance and testing practices.
Cross-connecting piping to low water devices must be internally inspected periodically to guard against any stoppages
which could obstruct the free flow of water to the low water devices.
The waterside condition of the pressure vessel is of extreme importance. Waterside surfaces should be inspected fre-
quently to check for the presence of mud, sludge, scale or corrosion. It is essential to obtain the services of a qualified
water treating company or a water consultant to recommend the proper boiler water treating practices.
The operation of this equipment must comply with all requirements or regulations of the insurance company and/or other
authority having jurisdiction. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between such requirements and the warnings
or instructions contained herein, please contact Cleaver-Brooks before proceeding.
