INTRODUCTION:
Market Forge, in the interest of both cost and efciency has designed these steam boilers with the latest automatic
controls in order to make it easier for the operator to use and maintain this equipment. Standard components are
utilized on all models unless variances in size or capacity dictate a divergence from this policy for more efciency
of operation. This parts and service manual is written and illustrated to cover all steam boiler equipment that uses
gas as a source of fuel other than those which have been custom designed under special order.
HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL:
The pictures of components are aids to the identication, disassembly and assembly of parts. The parts listing
provides information necessary for the ordering of replacement parts (proper part names and part numbers). When
requesting parts or service always furnish the model and serial number of your complete unit, this will indicate to
Market Forge Service Personnel the type of boiler that you have. This information can be found on the nameplate
attached to the boiler frame.
THEORY OF OPERATION FOR GAS BOILER:
An explanation of how the control system operates on automatic gas boilers follows:
After the boiler is lled with water to the proper level and the fuel switch is turned ON, the main gas valve will be
activated allowing gas to ow to the main burners that will be ignited by the Spark Pilot. When the boiler builds to
its set pressure, the pressure switch opens. This will open the circuit to the gas valve that will stop the ow of gas
to the main burners. As the pressure in the boiler drops the pressure control switch will again complete the circuit
and build the boiler back to its set pressure. To stop all steam generation place the FILL/ON-OFF switch to the OFF
position.

a)
Please read the rating plate behind the Lift-Off Front Panel. If this plate is marked for a different gas than
that supplied, notify your dealer immediately. Install an external gas supply shut off valve in a visible and
accessible location. If the unit is placed at the minimum side clearances rather than the optimum side
clearances, the only acceptable location for the gas supply shut off valve is under the unit in the space
provided by the legs.
Use new iron or steel pipe complying with the latest ANSI Standard for Wrought-Steel and Wrought-Iron
b)
Pipe, B36, properly threaded, reamed and free from chips, oil and dirt. If pipe dope is used, apply a moderate amount leaving two end threads bare. Pipe dope must be resistant to LP gas. Connect the gas line
into the bottom (inlet) side of the shutoff valve. The supply pressure must be at least 1” (25mm) water
column higher than the manifold or regulator pressure for proper functioning of the regulator. If it is not
check the supply pipe for blockage or excessive pressure drop and make necessary corrections.
Perform a gas leak test of all newly-made joints, as well as those leading to the main gas control valve.
c)
Use a soap solution, DO NOT USE FLAME.
Natural gas units are equipped with a pressure regulator factory adjusted to give 4” (102mm) water col-

ADJUSTMENTS
A. IF GAS PRESSURE IS LOW:
Check your gas supply line for a restriction. If no restriction exists, check with your Natural gas supplier to
provide at least 5” of water column pressure in the gas supply line. If no restriction exists and Propane gas is
being used, the tank pressure regulator should be adjusted to supply at least 11” of water column pressure
in the gas supply line. If this adjustment cannot be made to your satisfaction, the gas supplier should be noti-
ed.
B. IF GAS PRESSURE IS TOO HIGH:
Adjust the pressure regulator on the boiler gas valve to reduce the pressure if Natural gas is being used. If
Propane gas is being used, adjust the pressure regulator supplied by the gas supplier. If the regulator cannot
be adjusted, notify the gas supplier.

ADJUSTMENTS
SETTING THE BOILER CONTROL PRESSURE SWITCHES:
PRESSURE CONTROL SWITCH ADJUSTMENT:
If boiler fails to maintain steam pressure in operating range, pressure control switch may require adjustment.
Start boiler and allow pressure to build up to operating level - 7 PSI (1kg/cm²).
1.
Check boiler pressure gauge. If gauge indicates 5 to 7 PSI, pressure control switches are properly ad-
2.
justed.
If boiler does not come on when pressure gauge reads 7 PSI and does not go off when pressure gauge
3.
reads 7 PSI, proceed as follows:
WARNING: Because power must be on to adjust pressure switches, be sure to protect against electrical shock.
Remove screw and lift front cover off control box.
a)
Hand adjust operating pressure control switch and high limit pressure control switch by turning adjusting
b)
nut (Knurled knob) clockwise to raise and counter clockwise to lower actuation point. Switch should be
set so that boiler comes on when boiler pressure gauge reads 5 PSI and goes off when gauge reads 7
PSI. Switch should be set so that boiler will shut off if pressure reaches 15 PSI.
The actuation value (differential) is factory set and cannot be changed.
c)
The cold water condensor thermostat is preset at factory.
d)
Repeat steps, 1, 2, and 3. If 45 to 7 PSI boiler pressure gauge reading is obtained during boiler opera-
e)
tion, adjustment is correct. If proper adjustment cannot be made consult Trouble-Shooting Guide in this
manual.
After making adjustments, replace cover on pressure switch box and screw.

MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE BOILER:
Market Forge recommends that the boiler be cleaned periodically due to impurities introduced through the water
supply. All water supplies contain some mineral deposits and impurities, the degree varies with geographic location. Market Forge is recommending a cleaning schedule that will keep your equipment in proper, safe working
order where water supplies are relatively pure. Because no water supply can be accurately compared with that of
another, this section should not be regarded as fool proof. A stepped-up, more frequent cleaning schedule may be
required when excessive impurities exist.
The Cleaning schedule should be performed two or more times per year as governed by the local water conditions. Market Forge recommends the use of its “cathodic descaler” to protect the inner boiler walls and components
against rust, scale and lime deposits. The normal effectiveness of a descaler is one year.
The schedule for changing the “cathodic descaler” may be timed to the cleaning schedule or accelerated as noted
above.
Market Forge qualied service agencies are available to establish a suitable schedule for TOTAL CONCEPT cleaning and descaler replacement.

GENERAL NOTES:
Market Forge R has two basic types of boilers; one has
an automatic drain valve, the other has a manual drain
valve. To determine which type you have, open cabinet
doors and you will see a control box with two switches
and an indicator light. The instruction label on the control
box will identify the boiler as being either automatic or
manual. Those boilers designated as being automatic
must be energized in order to close the drain valve.
Total Concept is designed to be used with water between
160°F to 200°F.
Preheating is required on both automatic and manual
boilers to raise the water temperature to the acceptable
range. (160°F to 200°F).
For manual boilers, make certain drain valve is tightly
closed.
On Market Forged boilers manufactured after 8/84; your
unit is equipped with an access plug in the steam header
line. This location should be used to add cleaner/descaler to boiler chamber during maintenance.
On Market Forged boilers manufactured before 8/84; access to boiler chamber should be gained through either
the vent-rite or the pressure relief valve.
