At least once each month during the heating
season, perform the following inspections:

Check Vent Tubing: Look for leakage at joints and
sagging of vent tubing runs. If evident, call a qualified
service technician.

Check Vent Terminal (Outside): Look for and remove any
obstructions (i.e. leaves, shrubs, snow).

Check Water Piping: Look for leaks around boiler and at
all joints. If evident, call a qualified service technician.

Check System Water Pressure: The temperature/pres­sure gage indicates the pressure in the boiler for each
water temperature. For most installations, it should
indicate about 12 psi to 15 psi for 70° to 100° water
temperatures and from 15 psi to 25 psi for temperatures
up to 240°. Ask your installer or service technician to
explain and show you what normal pressures to look for.

If pressure decreases from normal, the system is losing
water; if pressure increases from normal, the boiler relief
valve will open to relieve pressure (water will be evident
on floor below relief valve discharge piping). In either
case, call a qualified service technician.

At least once a year, check the air filter: Replace it
(recommended) or clean it. For access to the filter,
remove boiler front cover by pushing down on top center
portion of cover until support clip releases cover at top,
then lift off of support clips at bottom of cover.

Open air filter box cover by rotating the 1/4 turn fastener
on top of cover, then swing open at hinge.

Slant/Fin replacement air filter, part number 65-0524,
must be used. The filter can be cleaned with soap and
water. Shake off excess moisture before replacing.

In the case of severe outside dust/dirt conditions which
cause above-average accumulation on the filter, it may
be necessary to change it (or clean it) more often. This
procedure may be done by user or service technician,
providing a record is kept of each replacement or
cleaning date to assure an established diligent routine.
