28. Heating system maintenance - including boilers
Inspect at least once every 2 weeks. If necessary, refill the system with water. If the boilers are
out of operation during wintertime, a risk of water freezing in the system arises. Therefore, we rec-
ommend letting the water out from the system or filling it with antifreeze mixture. In other situations,
only let water out if absolutely necessary and keep without water for as little time as possible. When
the heating season is over, clean the boiler thoroughly and replace damaged parts.
Do not leave
parts replacement for the last moment; prepare your boiler for the heating season as early as in
spring
.
29. Use and inspections
Boiler operators must always follow the operation and maintenance instructions. Interventions
into boilers that could endanger the health of the operators or other persons in the vicinity are prohib-
ited. Boilers may only be operated by a person that is more than 18 years old, that has been acquainted
with the instructions and operation of the equipment and that complies with the requirements of § 14
of the Directive no. 24/1984 Coll. The boiler operation needed increased attention to safety in terms
of potential burns from hot boiler parts and systems. You must never leave unattended children near
boiler that is in operation. During the operation of solid fuel boilers it is prohibited to use any flam-
mable liquids for lighting the fire and it is also prohibited to increase the nominal output of the boiler
during operation (overheating).
You must not put flammable objects on the boiler and near the
fuel feeding and ash pan openings and ash must be stored in non-flammable containers with a
lid.
When handling fuel and ash, wear protective equipment (gloves, dust mask). Boilers in operation
must be under occasional supervision of the operator. The user may only carry out repair consisting
in simple replacement of a spare part (e.g. a sealing cord, etc.). During the operation check the doors
and cleaning openings for tightness and always tighten them properly. The user must not alter the
structure and electric installation of boilers. The boiler must always be cleaned properly and in time
so that free passage of all the ways can be guaranteed. Cleaning doors must always be properly closed.
CAUTION
- Follow valid fire regulations and have in reach portable fire extinguisher. If
any non-standard behavior of the boiler shut down the boiler from operation and call the
service.
