J DUAL FUEL MANUAL 02 2014 ISSUE 9
WARNING
Do not try to do repairs or any other maintenance work you
do not understand. Obtain a service manual from
Fulton Ltd or call a Fulton service engineer.
WARNING
It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure all parts
supplied with the boiler are tted in a correct and safe manner.
WARNING
Understand the electrical circuit before connecting or
disconnecting an electrical component. A wrong connection
can cause injury and or damage.
WARNING
A defective boiler can injure you or others. Do not operate
a boiler which is defective or has missing parts. Make sure
that all maintenance procedures are completed before using
the boiler.
CAUTION
Obey all laws and local regulations which affect you and
your boiler.
WARNING
Do not change the boiler fuel without consulting the boiler
manufacturer.
WARNING
LIFTING EQUIPMENT
Make sure that lifting equipment complies with all local
regulations and is suitable for the job. You can be injured
if you use faulty lifting equipment. Make sure the lifting
equipment is in good condition.
WARNING
Operating the boiler beyond its design limits can damage the
boiler, it can also be dangerous.
Do not operate the boiler outside its limits.
Do not try to upgrade the boiler performance by unapproved
modications.
WARNING
Non-approved modications can cause injury and damage.
Contact your Fulton dealer before modifying the boiler.
WARNING
Only qualied persons should be allowed to operate
and maintain the boiler and its equipment. Boilers should
always be drained through an approved blowdown vessel.
WARNING
The installation of gas appliances including the ue system
should only be carried out by Gas Safe registered engineers.
SAFETY
The instructions provided for the operation and maintenance of the boiler MUST be observed.
Failure to do so could result in damage to the boiler and serious personal injury.
WARNING
DANGER FROM HOT SURFACES
Steam boilers have high temperature surfaces, that if touched
may cause serious burns. Only competent and qualied
personnel should work on or in the locality of a steam boiler
and ancillary equipment. Always ensure the working area and
oor are clear of potential hazards, work
slowly and methodically.
Do NOT store inammable materials near the boiler.
WARNING
DANGER FROM INCOMPLETE COMBUSTION
The importance of correct burner adjustment to achieve low
emissions, safe, clean and efcient combustion is paramount.
Poor combustion, where unburnt gas forms carbon monoxide
is both a health hazard, and the potential risk to the boiler
from overheating, caused by re-burning of the
unburnt gas in the secondary ue passes.
WARNING
The importance of correct boiler water and feedwater cannot
be over emphasised, see the relevant section in this manual.
CAUTION
LOW FEEDWATER TEMPERATURE
Low feedwater temperature can result in thermal shock to the
boiler pressure vessel. Return the maximum amount of
condensate and if necessary preheat the feedwater. If in
doubt consult Fulton Ltd.
CAUTION
WATER SOFTENER and CHEMICAL TREATMENT
The chemicals required to operate the water softeners and
chemical treatment plants CAN BE SUPPLIED by
Fulton Ltd.
It is the responsibility of the operator to ensure adequate
supplies of chemical are available at all times
(including commissioning).
Costly repairs could be required should the plant operate
without chemicals or the wrong dosage of chemicals.
CAUTION
HYDRAULIC TEST - RISK OF BRITTLE FRACTURE
Hydraulic testing requires specialist equipment and is
normally only required by engineering surveyors / inspectors.
In order to ensure the material/ pressure vessel does not
suffer from brittle fracture, hydraulic testing should not be
carried out below 7°C.
WARNING
Prior to the commencement of any work requiring the
removal of cover plates and the opening of control panel
box, the electrical supply to the boiler must be isolated.
