installation and maintenance instructions.
Note
Depending upon the mode of operation, it may be found that the six
monthly interval can be extended, possibly to an annual service. It is
strongly recommended, however, that the interval should be 6 months
from initial start up until such times as a ‘pattern of use’ and the condition of
the boiler after a typical 6 months can be established.
4. Annual Maintenance
It is normal practice to carry out an annual service during which your insurance
surveyor would attend to carry out the statutory inspection. The scope of a full
insurance strip-down is such that it should only be attempted by persons
competent to do so who have had the necessary training, and have the
required test equipment. Fulton Boiler Works can offer this service if required.
The engineering surveyor may require the removal of the ceramic fiber
insulation around the periphery of the front tube plate to facilitate inspection of
the shell to tube plate weld. The standard Fulton service kit includes
replacement ceramic fiber log material which must be glued in place with the
adhesive supplied. It is vital the material is fitted ensuring the ends of the fiber face
into the centre of the boiler.
