2. Caring For Your Mascot FT
Your Mascot FT will require very little
maintenance. However, as with any fine appliance
there are certain steps that should be taken to ensure
continuing optimum performance.
2.1 General Care
Keep the area around the Mascot FT clean and
free from combustible materials, gasoline and other
flammable liquids and vapors.
The Mascot FT must be completely isolated and
protected from any source of corrosive chemical fumes
such as trichlorethylene, perchlorethylene, chlorine,
etc.
Keep bottom and top openings on the boiler free
for proper ventilation of interior components.
Do not obstruct or block a free flow of air to the
boiler to ensure proper ventilation.
If desired, clean the jacket surfaces with a
damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use flammable
cleaning materials.
If sidewall vented, keep the vent terminal clear
of obstructions — do not allow snow to cover the vent
terminal. Clean the intake screen often, and then
develop an appropriate
maintenance schedule.
2.2 Annual Inspection of Flue and Vents
Visually inspect the vent pipe once a year. Should
any deterioration exist, have the affected parts replaced
by a qualified service person.
2.3 In the Event of a Power Failure
The Mascot FT can not be operated during an
electrical power outage. If there is an extended power
outage with danger from freezing, then the Mascot
FT (and all other water systems) should be drained
completely. When draining the boiler, turn off main
electrical disconnect switch. When placing back in
service, refer to Section 3 of this Manual for instruction.
All draining and filling must only be done by a qualified
service person.
2.4 Full Service Every Year
In addition to the annual visual inspections, a
qualified service agency should conduct a detailed
inspection of all flue product carrying areas of the boiler
and its venting system.
