frequently
Every 2-3 months check for dust deposits inside the panel, vacuum and/or blow to eliminate any deposits
Every six months check the clamping of the connections to the inner components, paying particular attention to the power
circuits
Every six months check the clamping of the connections to the field control/safety devices, including any junction boxes

Check the status of the internal coating of doors and fibreglass braided ropes.
Check the integrity of the flame indicator light.
Periodically clean furnace and tube bundle using a brush.
Check that turbulators, if any, are clean and not damaged.
Generally, gaseous fuels do not produce any carbon deposit, while the use of liquid fuels requires frequent cleaning to prevent
significant scale build-ups.
Check the wear of drain valves which tend to deteriorate more rapidly due to the sludge abrasive action.
Check the integrity of the electrical system on board the boiler.
Check the integrity of the control panel both externally (IP protection) and internally (check all the components inside the control
panel).

IMPORTANT
In order to preserve the proper operation of the generator over time, we recommend requesting a half-yearly/yearly
inspection by the Technical Assistance Service, for a general check of all parts.
