2. Turn off gas supply to boiler.
3. Remove jacket front panel.
4. Disconnect pilot tubing at gas valve.
5. Disconnect thermocouple tubing at gas valve
(Continuous Ignition only). Disconnect igniter/
sensor cable and ground wire at ignition module
Intermittent Ignition (EI) only. Disconnect ame
roll-out switch wires.
6. Remove burner access panel.
7. Mark location of pilot main burner on manifold.
8. Hold burner on throat. Lift slightly to clear orice.
Pull burner from combustion chamber. See Figure
10. Pilot main burner can only be removed by lifting
at 45° angle after adjacent burner to right is removed
(1" burners only).
9. Check burners to be sure they do not contain foreign
matter or restrictions. Clean burners with a soft
bristle brush, blow any dirt out with compressed air
or use a vacuum cleaner. See Figure 46.

sediment which settles on inside of coil.
Consequently, heater should be periodically
backwashed. See Figure 25. Allow water at city
pressure to run into hosebib A, through heater, and
out hosebib B until discharge is clear. The tees in
which the hosebibs are located should be the same
size as heater connections to minimize pressure
drop.
2. Adjust and maintain mixing valve (tempering valve)
in accordance with manufacturer's instructions.
