c. Remove air baffle from 1%z x2" flexible coupling and clean air baffle if necessary.
Refer to repair parts diagram, mixer and pressure switch assembly.
d. Confirm that manual gas valve is closed and disconnect gas line to gas valve at union.
Disconnect wires to gas valve. and igniter.
e. Loosen but do not remove five (5) nuts attaching mixer assembly to boiler. Remove
two (2) igniter screws and very carefully remove the igniter. Use care when removing
the igniter, it is very brittle!!
f. Remove five (5) nuts and remove mixer assembly. Remove burner and mixer gasket.
g. Aluminum oxide deposits are water soluble and may be rinsed away with spraying or
running water. Before rinsing, connect a /z I.D. hose to the barbed fitting on the
bottom of the boiler and run the hose to a bucket or drain.
h. After rinsing, remove any remaining loosened sediment using a shop vacuum with a
snorkel attachment.
i Inspect burner for any foreign matter in the flame ports or inside the burner. Any for-
eign matter should be removed by blowing with compressed air or vacuuming.

l. Connect:
 gas line to gas valve
 condensate drain line to boiler
pressure switch hose to gas valve
 air by-pass to mixer
 1 1/2" x2" flexible coupling to air inlet and make sure to put air baffle back to
correct position
 igniter wires
gas valve wires
3. Visually inspect condensate lines leading from the boiler sections and the vent tee to the
condensate trap. Refer to repair parts diagrams. Any foreign material or debris that is
visible in the condensate lines needs to be cleaned out as follows: .
a. Raise condensate trap and drain condensate lines completely.
b. Once the condensate trap is emptied of water, disconnect condensate lines from the
fittings on the boiler, the vent tee, and the condensate outlet.
c. Remove the condensate trap and run cold water through the condensate lines to
thoroughly flush out any sediment or debris in the lines.
