QUE FAIRE SI VOUS SENTEZ UNE ODEUR DE GAZ:

• Ne pas tenter d’allumer d’appareils.

• Ne touchez à aucun interrupteur. Ne pas vous servir
des téléphones dans le bâtiment où vous vous

trouvez.

• Appelez immédiatement votre fournisseur de

fournisseur de gaz.

A. System Start Up

1. Verify that the pump system is operating
properly.

a. Shut off the manual gas valve.
b. Set the wall thermostat to a setting high

enough to call for heat.

c. The pump should come on immediately. If

it doesn’t, have a service technician test the
electrical circuits.

2. Light the pilot.
a. The BJVS boiler does not require manual

lighting. The pilot is controlled by the
automatic ignition system.

b. Different models of the JV boiler utilize

various gas valves. Although the gas valves
may have different control knobs, they are
all similar in operation. The gas valve has a
two-position knob - On and Off.

Important: When lighting or relighting, wait the

full 5 minutes specied in the lighting instructions.
Unburned gases can accumulate in the re box and
may ash back. Allow ample time for natural air

movement to clear the gases from the chamber before
lighting or relighting.

Relighting - All Models:

1. Turn off electrical power to the boiler.

2. Turn the gas valve knob clockwise to Off.

3. Wait ve minutes.

4. Turn the gas valve knob counterclockwise to On.

5. Restore power to the boiler, and set the
thermostat to the desired temperature. The
pilot will automatically ignite when there is
a call for heat.

Circulator Pump:

In normal operation, the pump is energized by the wall
thermostat via the pump relay supplied with the boiler.

Caution: Hazard of electrical shock!

Disconnect power to the boiler before
servicing the relay or transformer.

B. System Shut Down

1. Turn off power to the boiler and set the
thermostat to the lowest setting.

2. Turn the gas valve knob (clockwise for JVS) or
switch to the Off position.

3. Whenever danger of freezing exists, shut off the

water supply, remove the drain plugs in the left
side of the heater and open the drain valve on the
right side. Drain every part of the system which
might be subject to freezing temperatures.

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 appliance.

En cas de surchauffe ou si l'admission de gas
ne peut être coupée, ne pas couper ni débrancher
l'alimentation électrique de la pompe. Fermer plutôt le

robinet d'admission de gas à l'extérieur de l'appareil.

C. Maintenance

1. Lubricate the water circulating pump according

to the instructions found on the pump.

2. If a strainer is employed in a pressure reducing

valve or in the piping, clean it every six months.

3. At start-up and periodically thereafter, the ame

should be observed for proper performance. If

the ame has “sooting” tips, check for debris

near the orices. If this continues, call a service

technician.

4. Ensure proper operation of the mechanical

damper, mounted in the ue collar, by observing

the damper handle. Be sure the handle swings

when the draft inducer starts. Depending on the

boiler size, the swing may be as little as 30°.

Remove any obstructions and clean around the

pivot rod (handle) holes.

5. Inspect the venting system for obstructions,

leakage and corrosion at least once each year.

6. Keep the boiler area clear and free from

combustible material, gasoline and other

ammable vapors and liquids.

7. Be certain all combustion air and ventilation

openings are unobstructed.

8. Check for fouling on the external surfaces of the

heat exchanger every six months.
Fouling on the external surfaces of the heat

exchanger is caused by incomplete combustion

and is a sign of combustion air and/or venting

problems. As soon as any fouling is observed, the

cause of the fouling should be corrected.

The heat exchanger can be checked using a

ashlight by locating a mirror under the burners.

An alternate method is to remove the venting and

top panel as necessary to inspect from above.

Also, check the vent system for defects at this

time.
