Freeport Oil Fired Hot Water Boiler Installation Manual

WARNING

The boiler must be connected to an approved chimney in good condition. Serious property

damage could result if the boiler is connected to a dirty or inadequate chimney. The interior

of the chimney flue must be inspected and cleaned before the start of the heating season and

should be inspected periodically throughout the heating season for any obstructions. A clean

and unobstructed chimney flue is necessary to allow noxious fumes that could cause injury or

loss of life to vent safely and will contribute toward maintaining the boiler’s efficiency.

3) Inspect the vent system:

a) Make sure that the vent system is free of obstructions and soot.

b) Make sure that all vent system supports are intact.

c) Inspect joints for signs of condensate or ue gas leakage.

d) Inspect venting components for corrosion or other deterioration. Replace any defective vent system components.

a) Replace oil nozzle with identical make and model (see Table 11.1).

b) Inspect the electrodes. Replace if they are deteriorated. Make sure that the electrode position is set according to the

burner manufacturer’s instructions.

c) Remove and clean fuel pump strainer.

d) Remove any accumulations of dust, hair, etc. from the air shutter, blower wheel, and other air handling parts of the

burner.

e) Replace the fuel oil line lter element and gaskets.

6) Inspect all oil piping and ttings for kinks and leaks. Repair any found.

7) Inspect the hydronic piping and boiler for water leaks. Repair any leaks found immediately.
