•
Remove the PRV and related fittings.
•
Remove the top and left side panels.
•
Remove BOTH 1/2” plugs from the side of the boiler located at the
bottom of the casting. Once the water is fully drained, reinstall the
plugs and panels. See 10.A.3

WARNING
Do not leave this panel off in normal operation.
High voltage and temperatures could cause a
hazardous condition
10.A.1
Access Cover Removal
To remove the front access cover simply turn the lock at the top
center of the panel with a flat screw driver (slot indicates locking
arm direction). Lift slightly and tip the top of the panel forward.
Reverse the process to reinstall.
10.A.2
Flue Collector Access
After removing the front access cover, the top access panel can
then be lifted up and off the unit. This will expose the flue collector.
Lift the flue collector using the handle in the front and slide it up
and out. This will allow access to the top of the heat exchanger for
cleaning.
Re-install the flue collector in reverse order,
ensuring that the
front tabs contact the castings and the bottom flange
are inserted into the front heat exchanger baffle.
Return
the top panel by inserting the rear edge first at approximately a
15-degree angle then dropping the front. There is a slight spring
force pushing forward.
