B. Pump defective

B. Replace.

C. Incorrectly wired

C. Recheck wiring diagrams.

2.

Pilot outage

A. Inlet gas pressure too low

A. Consult gas utility company. Inlet gas pressure to boiler

should be 5.5" to 10.5" water column on natural gas. 0.0" to

13.0" on propane gas.

B. Inlet gas pressure too high causing

an unstable blowing pilot

B. Pressure should be regulated within limits shown above.

E. Altered draft diverter

E. Install factory-provided draft diverter.

4.

Spillage at

A. Cold chimney

A. Allow boiler to operate 5 minutes to create draft action.

draft hood

B. Vent pipe pitches down to chimney

B. Reinstall vent pipe to pitch up from boiler to chimney.

E. Install U.L. listed vent cap.

5.

Flame has

A. Low primary air

A. Correct manifold pressure according to rating plate. Correct

lazy yellow tip

orifice size if necessary (see parts list). Clean burner ports if
dirty. Verify correct fuel type.

6.

Not enough heat

A. Inadequate gas supply

A. Gas meter too small. Gas line from meter to boiler too small.

B. Low manifold gas pressure

B. Gas pressure on boiler manifold (at normal firing rate)

should be adjusted to 4.0"W.C. natural gas, 9.0"W.C.
propane.

C. Boiler size inadequate

C. Replace with boiler of higher input.

D. JVS 100-225 only - Boiler not going to

high fire.

D. Check operation and setting of two-stage operating control.

7.

Pump noisy

A. Air in volute

A. Bleed air from volute. Check pump alignment.

B. Worn coupling or bearings

B. Replace worn parts.

8.

Boiler pounding

A. Too low water flow through boiler

A. Check temperature rise between inlet and outlet boiler piping.

or knocking

15°F to 25°F temperature rise is recommended. If temperature
rise is over 25°F, increase pipe size or pump capacity or
locate obstruction. Check for stuck closed zone valves.
Check for zone pumps not operating. Check for closed valve
in system.

9.

Boiler condensing

A. Low water temperature

A. Flue product moisture will condense at the start-up until the

boiler water temperature reaches the normal operating
conditions.

10.

Pump cavitates

A. Defective fill valves or pressure regulator

A. Replace.

B. Oversized expansion tank

B. Replace.

A. Gas valve not at "on" position (JVT)

A. Turn knob to "on" position.

C. Boiler incorrectly wired

C. On single or multiple zone systems with zone valves, room

thermostat should be wired to R & W terminals. For multiple
zone systems with zone pumps, thermostats for extra zones
should be wired to R & A terminals.

D. Boiler off on blocked vent switch

D. Remedy as in symptom #4. Reset the manual reset switch.

E. Boiler off on flame roll-out switch

E. Remedy as in symptom #3. Reset the manual reset switch.

F. Broken wire in thermostat circuit

or defective thermostat

F. Check continuity through thermostat circuit with wires

disconnected from R & W.

G.JVS 100-225 Only - Two-stage operating

control not functioning or loose contact.

G.Check continuity and operation through two-stage operating

control.

13.

Boiler short cycles

A. Heat anticipator in room thermostat

set too low

A. Increase setting (0.8 - 1.0 is usually satisfactory).

B. Low water flow through boiler

B. Increase size of pump or increase piping size.

C. Hi-limit switch may be set too low

C. Increase setting to at least 20°F over outlet water temperature.
