4D. Filter

4D-1. Filter Function

A filter has been designed into the operation of

this Mighty Max boiler. Its function is to filter the
combustion air before it is delivered to the burner
system. The filter is manufactured out of a
polyurethane foam and may be cleaned with a mild
soap and water solution. Clean the filter only after the
filter has been removed from the filter housing (see
Figure 18).

4D-2. Filter Service

(The filter does not need cleaning if this is a first

time heater start-up).

1.

Turn the heater off using the toggle switch.

2.

Remove the door panel and bonnet from the
jacket.

3.

Remove the screws on the filter housing to
expose the filter as shown in Figure 18.

4.

Inspect the filter for discoloration due to
contamination or any other forms of debris. If
contamination or debris exists, wash the filter in
a soap/water solution then rinse with water only.
It is important that the filter be dry before
placing it back in the filter housing.

Caution

The filter has arrows which indicate the direction of
the air flow. Failure to install the filter correctly may
cause blower failure and dangerous operation.

The filter must be inspected for contamination

one week after start-up. Depending upon the severity
of contamination, a suitable cleaning schedule may be
