2. Weekly Maintenance
Warning
All steam pipe work, valves and fittings will be very hot. Do not operate
the safety valve without protection.
Check the hand holes and man holes for signs of leakage. This is particularly
important when the boiler is started from new or when gaskets have been
replaced (refer to the Section for fitting procedures for new gaskets). Corrective
action taken as soon as a leak occurs can prevent costly repairs later.
Check for signs of leaks on all valves and fittings and take the appropriate action.
Test all the boiler water level functions by evaporation, e.g. switch off the
boiler feed pump-see Starting the Burner.
Carry out routine maintenance checks on the burner as recommended by
the manufacturer’s Installation and Maintenance instructions.
Check the flame failure controls by removing the burner flame sensor from its
plug-in connection on the side of the burner and covering the detection window
to exclude all light. The burner control should immediately go to a lockout flame
failure condition and will require manual resetting. Clean the flame sensor before
replacing it.
