WARNING

All information in this manual is for 
reference and guidance purposes, 
and does not substitute for required 
professional training, conduct, 
and strict adherence to applicable 
jurisdictional/professional codes and 
regulations. 

Prior to any maintenance concerning 
electrical components of this 
equipment,  ensure electrical supply 
to the equipment is disconnected.  
Label all wires prior to disconnection; 
wiring errors may cause improper 
and hazardous operation.

Follow all proper lockout/tagout 
procedures for service. 

Before beginning any maintenance, 
ensure area is free of any combustible 
materials and other dangers. 

What to do if you smell gas:
Do not try to light the appliance.
Do not touch any electrical switch.
Do not use any phone in the building. 
Leave building and contact gas 
supplier from neighbor’s phone. If you 
cannot reach gas supplier, phone the 
fi re department.

After initial start-up by qualifi ed 
personnel, control settings and fuel 
pressures should not be readjusted.

CAUTION

All maintenance procedures should 
be completed by trained personnel. 
Appropriate training and instructions 
are available from the  Fulton Service 
Department at (315) 298-5121 or your 
local Fulton Representative.

In order to meet warranty conditions, 
ensure  all appropriate maintenance 
activities are performed. 

General

Your Reliance boiler has been designed to provide years of trouble free 

performance. To ensure continued safety and effi

  ciency of the boiler, please 

follow the maintenance and inspection directions outlined in this section of the 
manual. 

Daily Maintenance and Inspection Schedule 

Daily maintenance and inspection must include the following:

1.  Observe operating temperature and general conditions. 

2.  Make sure that the fl ow of combustion and ventilating air to the boiler is 

not obstructed.

3.  Assure that boiler area is free and clear of any combustible materials, 

including fl ammable vapors and liquids. 

Weekly Maintenance and Inspection Schedule 

Weekly maintenance and inspection must include the following:

1.  Observe the conditions of the main fl ame. A normal high fi re fl ame shows 

an orange screen with a blue halo. In Low fi re the burner should display a 
reddish orange glow. 

2.  Correct air adjustment is essential for the effi

  cient operation of this boiler. 

If an adjustment to the combustion is necessary, the fl ue gas composition 
should be checked with a carbon dioxide (CO2) or oxygen (O2) analyzer to 
set conditions.

Monthly Maintenance and Inspection Schedule

 

Monthly maintenance and inspection must include the following:

1.  View fl ame detection strength via the SOLA Control. See 

Operation 

section of this manual for screen details. 

1.  Test high-limit control by reducing setting below the operating 

temperature. Burner should shut off . Return high limit to previous setting. 

2.  Test operating temperature control by reducing temperature setting as 

necessary to check burner operation. 

3.  Check fl ue gas temperature at outlet. If there is a temperature increase 

over previous readings, the probable cause is soot or water-scale build-up 
on the tubes.  Consult Fulton Heating Solutions immediately if there is a 
concern.

4.  Test low gas pressure switch and high gas pressure switch utilizing the 

procedure in operation section.
