If flow through the heater is greater than its rating,

installed in the cold water line to the heater. Refer
to Figure

If this boiler is connected to heating coils located in
air handling units where they may be exposed to
refrigerated air, the boiler piping must be equipped with flow control valves to prevent gravity
circulation of boiler water during the operation of
the cooling system.

If tankless heater is not used and if the boiler is to
be operated in a system which has a large volume

Install a pipe tee between the circulator and boiler
return along with a second tee in the supply piping
as shown in Figure 19. The bypass should be the
same size as the supply and return lines with valves
located in the bypass and supply outlet as illustrated
in Figure 19 in order to regulate water flow for
maintenance of higher boiler water temperature.
Adjust the valves to provide 180°F to 200°F water
temperature when the system water temperature is
at normal operating range.

5.
Boiler is now ready to be put into service.
If, during normal operation, it is necessary to add
water to this boiler more frequently than once a month
consult a qualified service technician to check your system
for leaks. A leaky system will increase the volume of
make
-
up water supplied to the boiler which can signifi
cantly shorten the life of the boiler. Entrained in make
-
up water are dissolved minerals and oxygen. When the
fresh, cool make
-
up water is heated in the boiler the
minerals fall out as sediment and the oxygen escapes as
a
gas. Both can result in reduced boiler life. The accumu
lation of sediment can eventually isolate the water from
contacting the cast iron. When this happens the cast iron
in that area gets extremely hot and eventually cracks.
The presence of free oxygen in the boiler creates a corro
-
sive atmosphere which, if the concentration becomes high
enough, can corrode the cast iron through from the in
side. Since neither of these failure types are the result
of a casting defect the warranty does not apply. Clearly
it is in everyone's interest to prevent this type of failure.
The maintenance of system integrity is the best method
to achieve this.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE CONSIDERATIONS
Keep radiators and convectors clean.
If a hot water radiator is hot at the bottom but not at
the top, it indicates that air has accumulated inside
and should be vented. To vent radiator, hold small
cup under air vent (located near top of radiator), open
vent until water escapes and then close.
If much water is added to system, it is advisable to
heat system to a high temperature and vent again.
This will make less venting necessary during the
winter.
Where an expansion tank is used, make sure that
neither the tank nor its drain pipe is exposed to freez
ing temperatures. Never place valves in piping leading
to or from expansion tank.
Boiler and system cleaning will help assure trouble
free operation. See Item
tions for procedure.

under Operating Instruc

B. FLOAT TYPE LOW WATER CUTOFF
During the heating season, if an external low water
cutoff is on the boiler, the blow off valve should be
opened once a month (use greater frequency where
conditions warrant), to flush out the sediment chamb
er so the device will be free to function properly.
Low water cutoffs and water feeders should be dis
mantled annually 'by qualified personnel, to the extent
necessary to insure freedom from obstructions and
proper functioning of the working parts. Inspect
connecting lines to boiler for accumulation of mud,
scale, etc., and clean as required. Examine all visible
wiring for brittle or worn insulation and make sure
electrical contacts are clean and that they function
properly. Give special attention to solder joints on bel
lows and float when this type of control is used. 'Check
float for evidence of collapse and check mercury bulb
(where applicable) for mercury separation or dis
coloration. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPAIR MECH
ANISMS IN THE FIELD. Complete replacemsent
mechanisms, including necessary gaskets and installa
tion instructions, are available from the manufacturer.
IF
BOILER IS NOT USED DURING WINTER
TIME, IT MUST BE FULLY DRAINED TO PRE
VENT FREEZE DAMAGE.

-
Spray inside surfaces with light lubricating or crank
case oil using gun with extended stem so as to reach
all corners.
With steam boilers, at end of season add sufficient
water to fill boiler to top of water column and leave it
that way until fall when water
to proper level. If at this time boiler water is dirty,
drain water, flush out boiler, and refill with clean
water to prescribed water level.
Always keep the manual fuel supply valve shut off if
the burner is shut down for an extended period of
time.
To recondition the heating system in the fall season
after a prolonged shut down, follow the instructions
outlined in Section IV
