Tips for water systems:

Check boiler and system piping for leaks.

Continual makeup water will reduce boiler

life. Minerals can build up in sections,

reducing heat transfer and causing cast iron

to overheat, resulting in section failure.

Failure to maintain recom-

mended pH and repair leaks can cause section

iron corrosion, leading to section failure and

leaks. Do not use petroleum-based sealing

or stop-leak compounds in boiler systems.

Damage to system components can result,

causing property damage.

Boiler water pH 7.0 to 8.5 is recommended.

For pH conditions outside 7.0 to 8.5 range or

unusually hard water areas (above 7 grains

hardness), consult local water treatment

company.

When using antifreeze:

- Use antifreeze especially made for

hydronic systems. Inhibited propylene

glycol is recommended.

Do not use automotive,

ethylene glycol, undiluted or petroleum-

based antifreeze. Severe personal injury,

death or substantial property damage can

result.

- 50% solution provides protection to about

-300F.

- Local codes may require back-flow

preventer or actual disconnect from city

water supply.

- Determine quantity according to system

water content. Boiler water content is

listed on back cover of Boiler Manual.

Percent of solution will affect sizing of

heat distribution units, circulator and

expansion tank.

- Follow antifreeze manufacturer's instruc-

tions.

Do not add cold water to hot boiler. Thermal

shock can cause sections to crack.

CAUTION

Follow instructions below to

prevent severe personal injury, death or substan-

tial property damage:

To avoid electric shock, disconnect electrical

supply to burner service switch and additional

external switches before performing service.

To avoid severe burns, allow boiler to cool

before performing service.

Do not block flow of combustion or ventilation

air to boiler.

Boiler must be connected to a flue with

sufficient draft at all times to assure proper

operation.

Do not use this boiler if any part has been

under water. Electrical and mechanical

failures may cause electric shock and fire

risks. Immediately call a qualified service

technician to inspect chimney or vent,

boiler and burner. Have the boiler flueways

cleaned and have the following replaced:

— all electrical and mechanical controls

— electrical wiring

— oil burner and controls

— insulation and chamber lining

Cleaning Boiler Flueways

Figure 3

Thoroughly clean flueways

between all pins at all angles.

Start on top of boiler,

finish from the bottom.

Detailed Service Procedures

Cleaning boiler flueways:

Make sure all electrical connections

to boiler are turned off and wait until boiler is

warm, not hot, before cleaning. Failure to do so

will result in severe personal injury, death or

substantial property damage.

1. Top flue boilers -remove breeching and jacket

top panel.

Rear flue boilers - remove jacket top panel.

2. Remove flue collector hood, saving hardware

for reassembly.

3. Shut off oil valves. Arrange drip pans under

the areas of oil piping that will be discon-

nected. Disconnect oil line at burner so that

you can swing open the door completely.

4. Line combustion chamber floor with news-

paper to catch any soot that will be loosened

in the cleaning process.

5. Starting at the top of the boiler, use a wire

flue brush to thoroughly clean between all

pins at all angles. Be careful not to damage

side walls of rear refractory.

6. Move to the bottom of the flueways and clean

up between the sections to reach pins left

uncleaned in step #5.

DANGER 7. Once the flueways are cleaned, carefully

remove the paper from the floor of the

combustion chamber.

8. Verify sealing rope around flue area is intact.

Visually check condition and position of

insulation in combustion chamber floor,

and the refractories at the rear of boiler and

in the burner mounting door. Replace any

parts as necessary.

9. Close burner mounting door and tighten nut

securely. Place flue collector hood on top of

boiler. Secure with hardware from step #2.

Maintain a gas-tight seal to

avoid possible flue gas leakage and carbon

monoxide emissions, which can lead to severe

personal injury or death.

10. Check breeching for sooting and clean if

necessary. Install jacket top panel and

breeching.

11. Reconnect oil line and all electrical connec-

tions.

Fill the system:

1. Close manual and automatic air vents and

drain cock.

2. Fill to correct system pressure. Correct pres-

sure will vary with each installation. Normal

cold water fill pressure for residential systems

is 12 psig. Boiler water pH 7.0 to 8.5 is recom-

mended.

Failure to maintain recom-

mended pH level can cause section failure and

leaks.

3. Open automatic air vent one turn.

4. a. Starting on the lowest floor, open air vents

one at a time until water squirts out. Close

vent.

b. Repeat with remaining vents.

5. Refill to correct pressure.
