WARNING
Burn and scald hazard. Discharge of water,
vapor and steam may scald. Follow these
instructions to avoid possible hazard.
Owner should be aware of weekly and monthly
maintenance. Since some equipment is non-factory
installed, please refer to manufactures literature.
Weekly, do the following. All boilers are equipped with
safety valve (steam) or safety relief valve (water).
The lever of the safety relief valve should be operated
periodically to ensure proper operation. If valve leaks
steam when boiler is operating at normal pressure it
must be replaced. On steam boilers with manual low
water cut-off valves, open purge valve until water
flows clear. (Figure# 3)
STEAM BOILERS: During the heating season the owner
should blow down the boiler at least once each month.
Before blowing down the boiler, fill it to the water line. Light
the burners and allow steam pressure to build up. Run
a temporary connection from one of the drain valves. If
possible, connect a hose to the drain valve on the opposite
side of the boiler from the make up water. Shut off the gas
burners, open the drain valve and blow down the entire
contents of the boiler. Allow the boiler to thoroughly cool
and slowly refill to the water line. Repeat the process as
many times as required until the blow-off water is clear.
