The feeder should be blown down after initial installation
before leaving site. It should also be blown down as
recommended in the Maintenance section of these
instructions.
• Burner should be on and water level above 'closing
level' of feeder.
•
Slowly
open the water feeder blow down valve 'V'
which will lower the water level in the float chamber.
As water flows out the blow down pipe, you should
begin to hear the feeder valve open.
• If the feeder has a #2 switch, the burner should stop.
• Close the water feeder blow down valve 'V'. The water
level should return to a safe operating level and the
burner should turn on.
To prevent serious personal injury from steam pipe
blow down, connect a drain pipe to the control
opening to avoid exposure to steam discharge.
Failure to follow this caution could cause personal
injury.
