7.7 CONDENSATE DRAIN TRAP
The boiler contains a condensate drain trap
connected to the drain line of the exhaust
manifold (see Figures 2.4 & 2.5). The trap
should be inspected and, if necessary, cleaned
to ensure proper operation. Proceed as follows:
1. Disconnect the external condensate trap by
loosening the hose clamps between the trap
and the condensate drain connection on the
exhaust manifold of the boiler (Figure 2.5).
2. Remove the connections on the inlet and
outlet sides of the condensate trap shown in
Figure 7.4.
3. Loosen the four (4) thumbscrews securing
the cover on the condensate trap. Remove
the cover.
4. Remove the float from the condensate trap.
5. Remove the orifice gasket from the trap.
6. Thoroughly clean the trap, float and gasket.
Also inspect the drain piping for blockage. If
the trap cannot be thoroughly cleaned,
replace the trap.
7. Check the condensate drain tapped hole in
the exhaust manifold (Figure 2.4) to ensure
it is clear of blockage.
8. After the above items have been inspected
and thoroughly cleaned, replace the orifice
gasket and float in the condensate trap and
replace the trap cover.
9. Reassemble all piping and hose connections
to the condensate trap inlet and outlet.
Reconnect trap to condensate drain
connection on the exhaust manifold.

SERVICE AFTER A PROLONGED
SHUTDOWN
After a prolonged shutdown (a year or more),
the following procedures must be followed:
1. Review installation requirements as shown
in Chapter 2
2. Inspect all piping and connection to the unit
3. Inspect exhaust vent, air duct(if applicable)
and
4. Perform initial startup per Chapter 4
5. Perform safety device and maintenance
procedures per Chapters 6 and 7 of this
manual.
