SECTION 1.
Caring For Your Copper Brute II
Your Copper Brute II will require very little
Maintenance. However, as with any ne appliance
there are certain steps that should be taken to ensure
continuing optimum performance.
1A. General Care
Keep the area around the Copper Brute II clean
and free from combustible materials, gasoline and
other ammable liquids and vapors.
The Copper Brute II must be completely isolated
and protected from any source of corrosive chemical
fumes such as trichlorethylene, perchlorethylene,
chlorine, etc.
Keep grille openings on the boiler free for proper
ventilation of interior components.
Do not obstruct or block a free ow of air to the
boiler to ensure proper ventilation.
If desired, clean the jacket surfaces with a damp
cloth and mild detergent. Do not use ammable
cleaning materials.
If sidewall vented, keep the vent terminal clear
of obstructions — do not pile snow against the vent
terminal. Clean the air lter(s) often, and then develop
an appropriate maintenance schedule.
1B. Annual Inspection of Flue and Vents
Visually inspect the vent pipe once a year. Should
any deterioration exist, have the affected parts replaced
by a qualied service person.
1C. Shutting Down the Copper Brute II
1. Switch off the main electrical disconnect switch.
2. Close all manual gas valves.
3. If freezing is anticipated, drain the Copper Brute
II and be sure to also protect the building piping
from freezing. This step to be performed by a
qualied service person.
1D. To Restart the Copper Brute II
If drained, follow the Installation and
Operation Manual for proper lling and purging.
1. Switch off the main electrical disconnect switch.
2. Close all manual gas valves.
3. WAIT FIVE (5) MINUTES.
4. Set the aquastat or thermostat to its lowest
setting.
5. Open all manual gas valves.
6. Reset all safety switches (low water cut off,
manual reset high limit, etc.).
7. Set the temperature controller to the desired
temperature setting and switch on electrical
power.
8. Burner will go through a prepurge period and
ignitor warm-up period, followed by ignition.
1E. In the Event of a Power Failure
The Copper Brute II can not be operated during
an electrical power outage. If there is an extended
power outage with danger from freezing, then the
Copper Brute II (and all other water systems) should
be drained completely. When draining the boiler, turn
off main electrical disconnect switch. When placing
back in service, refer to start-up instructions in the
Installation and Operation Manual for lling and
purging. Draining and lling shall only be done by a
qualied service person.
1F. Full Service Every Three (3) Years
In addition to the annual visual inspections, a
qualied service agency should conduct a detailed
inspection of all ue product carrying areas of the
boiler and its venting system.
WARNING
Do not use this boiler if any part has been
under water. Immediately call a qualied
service technician to inspect the boiler and to
replace any part of the control system and any
gas control which has been under water.
WARNING
Should overheating occur or the gas supply
fail to shut off, do not turn off or disconnect the
electrical supply to the pump. Instead, shut
off the gas supply at a location external to the
boiler.
