Section 6 – Maintenance
1. General Maintenance
To ensure the continuing efficiency of the boiler, regularly carry out regular
routine maintenance procedures as detailed below.
IMPORTANT: If any fault is found during these procedures, shut down the
boiler immediately and consult The Fulton Companies.
Note
It is essential that regular checks are made to ensure scale build-up is not
taking place within the boiler. Such checks will ensure that water treatment
being applied to the boiler water feed is effective.
The lower hand hole doors should be removed after one month and the
interior of the boiler thoroughly examined. If scale or sludge build-up is
observed, a water treatment specialist should be consulted.
Subsequent interior examinations should be carried out on a regular basis
until satisfactory conditions are obtained. Thereafter, inspections should be
carried out at six monthly intervals.
IMPORTANT: New gaskets must be fitted every time a hand hole door is
removed, refer to Section 5 for fitting procedures.
