15. Drain and isolate the boiler.

of the pressure vessel for scale and

as required.

SIX MONTHLY
IN ADDITION
It should be noted that after a Fulton boiler has been in operation for several months, pieces of
burned metal will be found in the space at the bottom of the boiler. These pieces of metal are the
remains of a light gauge metal form which was used during manufacture for the forming of the
boiler insulation. This is normal and does not affect the efficiency or the life of the boiler in any
way.
18.
Remove the cover plates and clean-out door. Clean out the flue passes, check the refractories
for soot or breakage, inspect the stainless steel ring. When replacing the cover plates
and clean-out door, use new gasket material and furnace cement to ensure a tight seal,
subsequently preventing the escape of hot gases.
19. Apply a small quantity of oil to the bearings of the burner motor and the feedwater pump
motor.
20.
Drain and flush the feedwater tank. Clean any filters in the tank, in the feedwater line or in the
feedwater pump.
21. Remove and clean the water level probes, take care not to crack the porcelain. After
replacement of the probes, check the operation of the low water cut-off relay and of the
feedwater pump.
22. Remove the air gate and clean the fan.
23.
Test the flue using the following procedure:
Visual Inspection
Check joints between all flue sections for quality of seals. Where the flue passes through the
structure of the building use your judgement as to the integrity of this section of the flue.
Smoke Test
With the flue capped and a smoke generator inserted into the flue, there should be no smoke
visible. If either of these tests fail, shut down the boiler and contact Fulton Ltd immediately.
24. Remove components from all threaded stub pipes, clean and inspect, replace if required.
