condensate is not backing up into the boilers.
Annual Maintenance and Inspection Schedule
Annual maintenance and inspection must include the following:
1. On units utilizing a fl ame rod, the fl ame rod should be changed. The fl ame
rod is located in the top of the boiler for PHW-300-1400, and inside the
injector on PHW-2000.
2. Clean/replace fl apper valve gaskets.
3. Verify proper combustion and adjust as necessary.
4. Lubricate the modulation motor arms, gas and exhaust butterfl y valves.
Ensure the motion of the valves is smooth.
5. Remove the low water cut off probe and clean. Replace the probe in the
boiler.
6. Change the spark plug (see Figures 53 and 54).
7. Check air intake and exhaust vent outlet for any blockage or restrictions.
8. Check for any leaks in exhaust piping.
9. Check for any leaks in the heating system or boiler piping.
10. Check the air intake and exhaust vent piping for sagging.
11. Follow purge procedure outlined in this manual.
12. Follow start up procedure outlined in this manual.
13. With the boiler running, check for visible cracks at fi ttings and joints.
14. Check for any blockages in condensate lines, and condensate trap. If a pH
Neutralization Kit has been installed, check quantity of media in kit.
NOTE: Should you suspect that the boilers fl ue passage ways have become
blocked, contact your Fulton representative.
NOTE: On models PHW300 through PHW1400 the spark plug is located in the top
of the boiler. In PHW2000 the spark plug is located in the gas injector behind the
air fl apper, and requires a spark plug removal tool, which is supplied with each
PHW2000.
NOTE: Pulse hydronic loops should be confi gured so that each boiler does not
cycle more than 12,000 times per year. Warranty may be void if excessive cycling
is apparent.
