MAINTENANCE
Properly maintained, your boiler will provide years of dependable, trouble free service. It is recommended that a
regular routine maintenance program be established and followed by the user. Components are subject to
eventual failure that requires service. Failure to use the correct procedures or parts in these circumstances may
make the unit unsafe or reduce the life of the boiler.
The owner should have the following inspection and maintenance procedures performed:
BOILER WATER PIPING
VISUAL INSPECTION
Check all piping for signs of leakage near joints,
unions and shut-off valves. Repair without delai to
avoid new water to enter the closed circuit and
cause corrosion.
PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE
TWICE A YEAR
Check for possible leak at the outlet of the safety
relief valve. If a leak is detected and the pressure at
the indicator is less than 28psi, change the safety
relief valve with a new one having similar
characteristics. If the pressure is higher than 28psi,
ask your heating service agency to determine the
cause of the high pressure and have it corrected
rapidly. Do not plug the outlet of this valve if a
dripping condition occurs.
AIR PURGE
TWICE A YEAR
Check for proper operation of the automatic air
purgers and activate manual air vents to eliminate
air present.
ELECTRICAL INSPECTION
ANNUALLY
It is recommended to perform a visual inspection of
the boiler electric compartment annually, during the
heating season, to ensure it is watertight and that
there are no signs of component or wiring
overheating. Repair as soon as possible if
necessary. Defective components should always be
replaced with the Original Manufacturer’s parts.
The inspection should also include a verification of
the torque of all the terminals screws and
particuliary the power contactors. The inspection
should follow with a verification of the main
temperature controls in operation as well as an
amperage and voltage reading to verify the proper
operation of all the heating elements.
The manufacturer's warranty DOES NOT cover a
tank breakage caused by improper installation
or maintenance. If the boiler safety valve opens
periodically, this may be caused by the
expansion tank.
Immediately call a qualified technician to inspect
and remedy the problem.
NOTE: To prevent premature tank failure, the air
trapped inside the system must be purged
periodically.
Before manually operating the relief valve, make
certain no one will be sprayed with the hot water
released by its opening. The water may be hot
enough to create a SCALD hazard. The water
released should be directed to a suitable drain
to prevent injury or damage.
