Reported problems
Inspect any problems reported by owner and correct before proceeding.
Boiler area
1. Verify that boiler area is free of any combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable
vapors and liquids.
2. Verify that boiler area (and air intake) is free of any of the contaminants listed on page 13
of this manual. If any of these are present in the boiler intake air vicinity, they must be
removed. If they cannot be removed, install combustion air piping to the boiler in accordance
with the appropriate venting supplement.
Air openings
1. Verify that combustion and ventilation air openings to the boiler room and/or building are
open and unobstructed. Check operation and wiring of automatic combustion air dampers,
if used.
2. Verify that boiler vent discharge and air intake are clean and free of obstructions.
Flue gas vent system (and air inlet piping)
1. Visually inspect entire flue gas venting system (and air piping, if installed) for
blockage, deterioration or leakage. Repair any joints that show signs of leakage in accordance
with vent manufacturer’s instructions. When air is ducted to boiler, verify that air inlet hose is
connected and properly sealed.
Failure to inspect for the above conditions and have them repaired can
result in severe personal injury or death.
Boiler heating surfaces
1. Obtain a GV gasket replacement kit. This kit contains four gaskets — igniter gasket, vent
starter tee gasket, inspection port gasket, and burner gasket.
Electrical shock hazard — Turn off power to the boiler before any
service operation
on the boiler except as noted otherwise in this instruction
manual. Failure to turn off electrical power could result in electrical shock,
causing severe personal injury or death.
2. Remove the jacket top panel and jacket front panel after turning off power to the boiler.
3. Remove the two nuts retaining the flueway inspection port cover (page 3, item g).
Remove the flueway inspection port cover.
4. Inspect the boiler vent outlet area and heating surfaces by looking through the opening.
5. If the boiler flueways show accumulation of soot, follow Cleaning boiler heating surfaces
in this manual section to remove the blower housing and clean the boiler. If there is evidence
of a large accumulation of rusty scale deposits, check the temperature mixing system.
6. Replace the flueway inspection port cover.
