ANNUAL MAINTENANCE
The SYSTEM 2000 boiler requires an annual tune-up by a qualified service agency to maintain top efficiency and
peak performance and to verify proper performance of all safety devices.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
The SYSTEM 2000 boiler requires minimal attention from the user.
- Daily inspect the space around the burner/boiler to verify the area is clean and free of any flammable or combustible
materials.
- Once a month it is recommended that the owner/user inspect the boiler and to watch the operation of the boiler. The
owner/user should:
Inspect flue connections.

Look for evidence of deterioration from corrosion or other sources. Watch the flue pipes during a start up of
the boiler and look and smell for evidence of escaping flue products.
o
For a chimney installation particularly examine the joint between the boiler outlet and the flue pipe. Also
examine the joint between the flue pipe and the base of the chimney.
Inspect for evidence of water, such as leakage from the safety pressure relief valve.
Watch the Digital Manager during one heating cycle of the boiler.
Verify the pressure gauge on the boiler is reading between 5 psi and 30 psi.
Verify the temperature gauge on the boiler reads no more than 220F at the end of a heating call.
If any of the above items seem unusual or out of the ordinary, then immediately call your qualified service agency.
