reduce the time it takes to cool off the boiler, the burner fan can run cool air through the boiler. This is
not a recommended practice, however in some cases the downtime cannot be afforded to allow the boiler
to cool down slowly.
8.1 Spare Parts.
Spare parts for controls, including electronic components which require time for procurement, should be
maintained in stock supply. Spare part should be kept in the boiler room or close by in a cool dry place. In
case you need to open up your boiler unexpectedly, it is a good idea to keep spare gaskets on hand. Many
locations require that boilers are inspected once a year. Typically the yearly maintenance is conducted at
the same time as this inspection. A full set of gaskets will be needed to reseal all access opening.
Documenting the start-up is required to activate your warrantee. Keeping records of all boiler activities
can be helpful in troubleshooting if you have a problem with operations.
8.2 Maintenance schedule
The suggested maintenance schedule has been broken down into daily, weekly, monthly, semi-annual,
and annual procedures. The exact frequency of your inspections may vary; the schedule presented here
is a good place to start. Over time you can determine exactly how often each items needs to be checked.
Examples of maintenance logs are provided, however, the end user is responsible to create log sheets that
match with the specifics of your system.

certain tests, and other pertinent data. Brief details of repairs or other work done on a boiler plant
(including time started, time completed, and signature of person in charge) should be recorded.
Performance and results of test, inspections, or other routines required by codes or laws, insurance
company inspection reports, and initial acceptance test data should be recorded.
