A. Cet appareil ne comporte pas de veilleuse. Il est

muni d’un dispositif d'allumage qui allume automa­tique-ment le brûleur. Ne tentez pas d’allumer le
brûleur manuellement.

B. AVANT DE FAIRE FONCTIONNER, reniflez tout

autour de l'appareil pour déceler une odeur de
gaz. Reniflez près du plancher, car certains gaz
sont plus lourds que l'air et peuvent s'accumuler
au niveau du sol.

QUE FAIRE SI VOUS SENTEZ UNE ODEUR DE
GAZ:

- Ne pas tenter d'allumer d'appareil.

- Ne touchez à aucun interrupteur; ne pas
vous servir des téléphones se trouvant dans
le bâtiment.

- Appelez immédiatement votre fournisseur de gaz
depuis un voisin. Suivez les instructions du four­nisseur.

- Si vous ne pouvez rejoindre le fournisseur,
appelez le service des incendies.

C. Ne poussez ou tournez la manette d'admission du

gaz qu'à la main; ne jamais utiliser d'outil. Si la
manette reste coincée, ne pas tente de la réparer;
appelez un technicien qualifié. Le fait de forcer la
manette ou de la réparer peut déclencher une
explosion ou un in-cendie.

D. N'utilisez pas cet appareil s'il a été plongé dans

l'eau, même partiellement. Faites inspecter l'ap­pareil par un technicien qualifié et remplacez toute
partie du sys-tème de contrôle et toute commande
qui ont été plongés dans l'eau.

AVERTISSEMENT: Quiconque ne respecte pas à
la lettre les instructions dans la présente notice
risque de déclencher un incendie ou une explosion
entraî-nant des dommages, des blessures ou la
mort.

MAINTENANCE

Suggested Minimum
Maintenance Schedule

Regular service by a qualified service agency and
maintenance must be performed to ensure maximum
operating efficiency.

Maintenance as outlined below may be performed by
the owner.

Daily

1. Check that the area where the heater is installed
is free from combustible materials, gasoline, and
other flammable vapors and liquids.

2. Check for and remove any obstruction to the flow
of combustion or ventilation air to heater.

Monthly

1. Check for piping leaks around pumps, mixing
valves, relief valves, and other fittings. If found,
repair at once. DO NOT use petroleum-based
stop-leak compounds.

2. Visually inspect burner flame.

3. Visually inspect venting system for proper func­tion, deterioration or leakage.

4. Visually inspect for proper operation of the con­densate drain in the venting. If leaks are observed
repair at once.

5. Check air vents for leakage.

Yearly (Beginning Of Each Heating
Season)

1. Visually check top of vent for soot. Call service
person to clean. Some sediment at bottom of vent
is normal.

2. Visually inspect all flue product carrying areas of
the boiler including the venting system and pilot
and main burners for proper function, deterioration

or leakage. Ensure that condensate drains are
inspected and ensure that condensate is being
directed to appropriate condensate management
system or drain, as required by local codes.

3. Check that area is free from combustible materi­als, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and
liquids.

4. Check for and remove any obstruction to the flow
of combustion or ventilation air to heater.

5. Follow pre-start-up check in the Start-up section.

6. Visually inspect burner flame. It should be light
blue at full input. Remove and visually inspect hot
surface igniter and sensor for damage, cracking or
debris build-up.

7. Check operation of safety devices. Refer to manu­facturers’ instructions.

8. Follow oil-lubricating instructions on pump (if re­quired). Over-oiling will damage pump.
Water-lubricated circulators do not need oiling.

9. To avoid potential of severe burn, DO NOT REST
HANDS ON OR GRASP PIPES. Use a light touch;
return piping will heat up quickly.

10. Check blower and blower motor.

11. Check for piping leaks around pumps, relief valves
and other fittings. Repair, if found. DO NOT use
petroleum-based stop-leak.

Periodically

1. Check relief valve. Refer to manufacturer’s
instructions on valve.

2. Test low water cut-off (if equipped). Refer to manu­facturer’s instructions.

Preventive Maintenance
Schedule

The following procedures are recommended and are
good practice for all MVB installations.

WARNING: Annual service should ONLY be
performed by a qualified service agency. Schedule
annual service by calling a qualified service agency.

WARNING: Preventative maintenance should
ONLY be performed by a qualified service agency in
accordance with the procedures listed in the heater
Installation and Operating Instruction Manual.

7

Daily

1. Check gauges, monitors and indicators.

2. Check instrument and equipment settings.

3. Check burner flame. (Should see light blue flame
at full input rate).

Weekly

For low-pressure heaters, test low-water cut-off
device. (With heater in pre-purge, depress the low
water cut-off test button. Appliance should shut-off
and ignition fault light should come on. Depress reset
button on front of heater control panel to reset).

Monthly

1. Check flue, vent, stack, or outlet dampers.

2. Test blower air pressure.

3. Test high and low gas pressure interlocks (if
equipped).

Semi-Annually

1. Recalibrate all indicating and recording gauges.

2. Check flame failure detection system components.

3. Check firing rate control by checking the manifold
pressure at full fire.

4. Check piping and wiring of all interlocks and shut­off valves.

Annually

1. Test flame failure detection system.

2. Test high limit and operating temperature.

3. Check flame sensor.

4. Conduct a combustion test at full fire. Carbon diox­ide should be 8.0 to 9.0% at full fire for natural gas,
and between 9.0 to 10.0% for propane gas.
Carbon monoxide should be < 100 ppm.

5. Check valve coil for 60 cycle hum or buzz. Check
for leaks at all valve fittings using a soapy water
solution (while heater is operating). Test other

operating parts of all safety shut-off and control
valves and increase or decrease settings
(depending on the type of control) until the safety
circuit opens. Reset to original setting after each
device is tested.

6. Perform leakage test on gas valves.

7. Test air switch in accordance with manufacturer’s
instructions. (Turn panel switch to the “On” posi­tion until blower is proven, then turn the switch to
“Off.”

8. Inspect and clean burner using shop air. Air must
be directed from outside of burner towards inside.

As Required

1. Recondition or replace low water cut-off device (if
equipped).

2. Check drip leg and gas strainers.

3. Check flame failure detection system.

4. Check igniter. (Resistance reading should be 42­70 ohms at ambient temperature).

5. Check flame signal strength. (Flame signal should
be greater than 1 microampere

DC as measured
at the 2 pins on the upper left corner of the ignition
control).

6. Check firing rate control by checking the manifold
pressure at full fire.

7. Test safety/safety relief valves in accordance with
ASME Heater and Pressure Vessel Code Section
IV.
