Maintenance procedures — DAILY
Check the boiler area
To prevent potential of severe personal injury, death
or substantial property damage,
eliminate all ma-
terials discussed below
from the boiler vicinity
and from the vicinity of boiler combustion air inlet. If
contaminants are found:
• Immediately remove products from the area. If
they have been there for an extended period, call
a qualified service technician to inspect the boiler
for possible damage from acid corrosion.
• If products cannot be removed, immediately call a
qualified service technician to re-pipe vent (and air)
piping and locate vent termination/air intake away
from contaminated areas.
Combustible/flammable
materials
Do not store combustible materials, gasoline or any
other flammable vapors or liquids near the boiler.
Remove immediately if found.
Air contaminants
Products containing chlorine or fluorine, if allowed
to contaminate the boiler intake air, will cause acidic
condensate in the boiler. This will cause significant
damage to the boiler if allowed to continue. Read the
list of potential materials listed on page 4 of this manual.
If any of these products are in the room from which the
boiler takes its combustion air, they must be removed
immediately or the boiler combustion air (and vent
termination) must be relocated to another area.
Check the pressure/temperature gauge
1. Make sure the pressure reading on the boiler pressure/tempera-
ture gauge does not exceed 5 psig less than the relief valve setting.
2. Contact a qualified service technician if pressure is too high.
DIRECT EXHAUST installations:
Verify combustion air openings are
clear and flue is unobstructed
1. DIRECT EXHAUST INSTALLATIONS Visually inspect all
combustion air openings.
a. Remove any debris or blockage from combustion air louvers.
The combustion air openings must be unobstructed.
This is the means for combustion and ventilation air to
be drawn into the boiler room.
Failure to provide proper combustion air can result in
severe personal injury, death or substantial property
damage.
2. Verify that boiler vent discharge is clean and free of obstructions.
3. Remove any debris on the flue exhaust openings.
4. If removing the debris does not allow the boiler to operate cor-
rectly afterwards, contact your qualified service technician to
inspect the boiler and vent/air systems.
DIRECT VENT installations:
Verify vent/air terminations are
unobstructed
(air piped to the boiler from outside)
1. Verify that boiler vent discharge and air intake are clean and
free of obstructions.
2. Remove any debris on the air intake or flue exhaust openings.
3. If removing the debris does not allow the boiler to operate cor-
rectly afterwards, contact your qualified service technician to
inspect the boiler and vent/air systems.
