CAUTION
Use caution when using any cleaning
solutions. Refer to local regulations for
proper cleaning solution disposal.
Do not allow oil leaks, dust, or dirt to
accumulate around the boiler.
Hazard analysis should be performed
by end user to ensure safety of
employees/personnel.
Any damage to the burner or any
other aspect of the boiler because of
an air fi lter that was not cleaned and
maintained regularly will void the
warranty on the Reliance boiler.
5. Test the water fl ow switch by trying to restart boiler with system pump off .
The boiler should not operate.
6. If an air inlet fi lter is included with the boiler, inspect and clean fi lter of any
dust or lint. See Procedure for Cleaning the Air Inlet Filter.
7. Verify the water loop style traps in the exhaust venting system are fl ooded.
Procedure for Cleaning the Air Inlet Filter
The air fi lter is an optional part and does not come with every boiler.
Proceed as follows:
1. Remove the fi lter. The fi lter sits in a custom slot on the air inlet connection
to the boiler.
2. Remove all debris and dirt from the fi lter using a non-corrosive soap and
water.
3. Return the fi lter to its original position in the slot.
Relief Valve Testing
The relief valve should be tested as per manufacturer instructions or every two
months by lifting the lever for 5 seconds and allowing the valve to snap shut.
Please see the manufacturer’s recommendations on the relief valve tag.
Annual Maintenance and Inspection Schedule
Annual maintenance and inspection must be performed prior to each heating
season, and includes the following tasks which must be done by a factory trained
technician.
Observe the general operation of the unit to verify the following:
1. Stack temperature readings are in line with factory test fi re and regular
maintenance reports.
2. Boiler is lighting off reliably and quietly.
3. There are no unusual sounds coming from the burner or blower assembly.
4. It is considered good practice to remove and inspect the burner and
ignition assembly on an annual basis. Follow Procedure for Removing/
Cleaning Burner in this manual if there is evidence of foreign matter built
up on the burner or ignition assembly. See Figure 22.
5. It is considered good practice to inspect the copper fi nned tubes in the
heat exchanger on an annual basis. This can be done from the inside of
the heat exchanger while the burner is removed, or by removing the front
outer jacket panel.
To remove the outer jacket panel, open the front lower door of the outer
