LIGHTING PROCEDURE FOR BOILER WITH
INTERMITTENT PILOT SYSTEM

WARNING

If you do not follow these instructions exactly,

!

a re or explosion may result causing property
damage, personal injury or loss of life.

This appliance is equipped with an ignition device A.

which automatically lights the pilot. Do not try to
light the appliance by hand.

Before operating, smell all around the appliance area B.

for gas. Be sure to smell next to the oor because
some gas is heavier than air and will settle on the

oor. Read "What To Do If You Smell Gas" on front

page of this manual.

This appliance is equipped with an ignition device which

gas, STOP! Follow “What To Do If You Smell Gas” on

front cover of this manual. If you don’t smell gas, go on
to the next step.

Turn gas control knob counterclockwise

8.

Replace jacket front panel.

knob. Never use tools. If the knob will not push in
or turn by hand, don’t try to repair it, call a qualied
service technician. Force or attempted repair may
result in a re or explosion.

Do not use this appliance if any part has been under D.

water. Immediately call a qualied service technician

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Before seasonal start-up, have qualied service agency
check boiler for soot and scale in the ues, clean burners
and check gas input rate to maintain high operating
efciency.

CAUTION

Label all wires prior to disconnection when

!

servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause
improper and dangerous operation.

Verify proper operation after service.

Service agency or owner should make certain system is
lled with water to minimum pressure and open air vents,
if used, to expel any air that may have accumulated in the
system. Check the entire piping system and, if any leaks
appear, have them repaired.

Figure 2 - Circulator

Put about one half teaspoon of SAE 20 or 30 non-detergent
motor oil in each opening twice a year.

CAUTION

!

Do Not Over Oil!!

Many circulators have oil opening for shaft bearing. This
should be oiled at same time for quiet operation. Follow
manufacturer's instructions for oiling shaft bearing.

Venting system should be inspected at start of each heating
season. Check vent pipe from boiler to chimney for signs of
deterioration by rust or sagging joints. Repair if necessary.
Remove vent pipe at base of chimney or ue and using a
mirror, check vent for obstruction and make certain vent is
in good working order.

Figure 3 - Boiler Flue Gas Passageways

Many circulators like the one pictured in Figure 2 (above)
require periodic servicing. Motor usually has openings at

each end to lubricate bearings.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Before seasonal start up it is advisable to have qualied
service agency check boiler for soot and scale in the ues,
clean burners and check gas input rate to maintain high
operating efciency. Service agency should make certain
system is lled with water to minimum pressure and
open air vents - if used - to expel any air that may have
accumulated in system. Entire piping system should also be
checked and if any leaks appear, they should be repaired

immediately.

Venting system should also be inspected at start of each
heating season. Vent pipe from boiler should be checked for
signs of deterioration or sagging joints. Repair if necessary.

Following procedure should be followed to clean and check
ue gas passageways:

Remove burners from combustion chamber by raising

1.

burners up from manifold orices and pulling toward
front of boiler, (See Figure 4)

Disconnect vent pipe from vent adapter.

2.

Remove jacket front panel. (See Figure 5)

3.

Check venter assembly suction pressure.

4.

Connect slope manometer between venter and •
pressure switch with tee and additional tubing and

connectors.

Turn boiler on and read suction pressure on •
manometer. Reading should be negative (-) .55
± .05 inches of water column or higher for DV50
thru 150 and negative (-) .65 ± .05 inches of water
column or higher for DV200. If this reading is not

attainable, contact qualied service agency.

Visual check of main burner and pilot ames should be
made at start of heating season and again in mid-season.

Main burner ame should have well dened inner blue
mantel with lighter blue outer mantel. (See Figure 6) If
ame does not appear this way, check burner throats and
burner orices for lint or dust obstructions.

Pilot ame should envelop 3/8 to 1/2 inch of tip of ignition
electrode (See Figure 7). To adjust pilot ame, remove pilot
adjustment cover screw on gas valve and turn inner screw
clockwise
increase pilot ame. See Figure 1. Be sure to replace cover
screw after adjustment to prevent possible gas leakage.

Burners and pilot should be checked for signs of corrosion,
rust or scale build-up, and cleaned with nylon bristle brush.

Area around boiler must be kept clear and free of
combustible materials, gasoline and other ammable
vapors and liquids.

Free ow of combustion and ventilating air to boiler and
boiler room must not be restricted or blocked.

In event ow of combustion products through ueways
or boiler venting system becomes blocked, ame roll-out
safety switch will shut off main burner gas. See Figure 5.
If this condition occurs, do not attempt to place boiler in
operation. Contact qualied service agency.

It is suggested that qualied service agency be employed
to make annual inspection of boiler and heating system.
They are experienced in making inspection outlined above
and in event repairs or corrections are necessary, they can
make proper changes for safe operation of boiler.

castings by loosening hold-down bolts located on each
side of ue collector. (See Figure 3)

or dirt build up.

If venter has oil cups lubricate venter motor once a

7.

month during heating season with few drops of non­detergent motor oil (SAE 20 or 30). Do not over oil.

Place sheet of heavy paper or similar material in

8.

bottom of combustion chamber and brush down ue
passageways. Soot and scale will collect on paper and

is easily removed with paper.
