15 - MAINTAINING YOUR BOILER

BURNERS

Beginning of heating season visually check pilot and main 

burner 

fl

 ames. See Figure 16.

SAFETY RELIEF VALVE

Refer to page 7 for important information. To test safety 

relief valve refer to valve manufacturer’s instructions 

packaged with relief valve. Call Technical Support if 
manufacturer’s instruction are not located.

EXPANSION TANK

Tank may become waterlogged, or may receive excess 

of air. Frequent automatic opening of safety relief 

valve indicates water logging. High boiler temperature 

accompanied by unusually low radiation unit temperature 

(and “knocking”) indicates excess air in tank.
To correct:

1. 

Close valve between boiler and tank. Drain tank until 

empty. 

2. 

Check all tank plugs and 

fi

 ttings. Tighten as necessary. 

3. 

Open valve between boiler and tank. Water will rise to 

normal height in tank if you have automatic 

fi

 ll valve 

(otherwise, manually re

fi

 ll system).

BOILER FLUE PASSAGES

Recommend following checked annually by quali

fi

 ed service 

agent. 

• 

fl

 ue passages 

• burner adjustment
• operation of controls

Before start of each season (or whenever system has been 

shut down for some time) recheck whole system for leaks 

and recheck boiler and vent pipe for leaks. Replace or patch 

any boiler seals that are faulty.

VENT PIPE

Venting and piping should be checked at least once a 

season. If vent piping shows any sign of leaking, replace 

immediately. 

WATER SYSTEM

If system is to remain out of service during freezing weath-

er, always 

drain it 

completely (water left in to freeze will 

crack pipes and/or boiler).

CLEANING YOUR BOILER AND BURNERS

Flue passages between sections should be examined yearly 

and cleaned if necessary. 
To clean: 

• Remove burners, pilot, and vent pipe.
• Remove top and front jacket panels. 
• Remove two screws attaching intermediate front panel 

to left and right side jacket panels. 

• Remove draft diverter and intermediate front panel 

together. 

• Carefully remove cerafelt gasket strips. 
• Clean passageways between sections with 

fl

 exible 

handle wire brush. Remove dirt from bottom of boiler 

and from between sections by vacuuming. 

• Verify all 

fl

 ame ports in burners are open and clear. 

Shake out or blow out all loose dirt in burners. 

• Reseal seams between adjacent sections as necessary 

with 400

°

 F RTV silicone sealant. 

• Reassemble all parts. 
• Verify tightness of pilot connections and condition of 

burner 

fl

 ames after reassembly. See Figures 16 and 17, 

pages 21. 

• Verify vent pipe connections to chimney are secure and 

no obstructions are present.

HOUSEKEEPING

• Keep boiler area clear and free from combustible 

materials, gasoline and other 

fl

 ammable vapors and 

liquids.

• Keep boiler area clear of debris and other materials 

obstructing 

fl

 ow of combustion and ventilation air.
