The burners and pilot should be checked for signs of corrosion, rust or scale buildup.
The area around the boiler must be kept clear and free of combustible materials, gasoline
and other flammable vapors and liquids.
The free flow of combustion and ventilating air to the boiler and boiler room must not be
restricted or blocked.
It is recommended that a qualified service agency be employed to make an annual
inspection of the boiler and heating system. They are experienced in making the inspections
outlined above, and, in the event repairs or corrections are necessary, trained technicians
can make the proper changes for safe operation of the boiler.

Gas input to the boiler can be adjusted by removing the protective cap on the pressure
regulator, (See figures 14, 15, & 16 on pages 14 & 15), and turning the screw clockwise
to increase input and counterclockwise to decrease input. Natural gas
manifold pressure should be set at approximately 3.5 inches water column. Propane gas
manifold pressure should be set at approximately 11.0 inches water column. These manifold
pressures are taken at the outlet side of the gas valve. See figures15 & 17 on pages14 &
15. To check for proper flow of natural gas to the boiler, divide the input rate shown on the
rating plate by the heating value of the gas obtained from the local gas company. This will
determine the number of cubic feet of gas required per hour. With all other gas appliances
off, determine the flow of gas through the meter for two minutes and multiply by 30 to get
the hourly rate. Make minor adjustments to the gas input as described above.
Burner orifices should be changed if the final manifold pressure varies more than plus or
minus 0.3 inches water column from the specified pressure.
Primary air adjustment is not necessary, therefore air shutters are not furnished as standard
equipment. Air shutters can be furnished on request where required by local codes or
conditions.
