7.1 System Maintenance
1. Lubricate the system water-circulating pump, if
required, per the instructions on the pump.
2. If a strainer is employed in a pressure reducing
valve or the piping, clean it every six months.
3. Inspect the venting system for obstruction or
leakage at least once a year. Periodically clean
the screens in the vent terminal and combustion
air terminal (when used).
4. Keep the appliance area clear and free from
combustible materials, gasoline, and other
flammable vapors and liquids.
5. If the appliance is not going to be used for
extended periods in locations where freezing
normally occurs, it should be isolated from the
system and completely drained of all water. All
systems connected to it should also be drained or
protected from freezing.
6. Low water cutoffs, if installed, should be
checked every 6 months. Float type low water
cutoff should be flushed periodically.
7. Inspect flue passages, and clean with brushes/
vacuums, if necessary. Sooting in flue passages
indicates improper combustion. Determine the
cause and correct.
8. Inspect the vent system and air intake system,
and if the vent system is Category III, ensure
that all joints are sealed properly. If joints need
to be resealed, follow venting manufacturer's
instructions to clean and reseal vent system.
