CGa, CGi, CGs, EG, EGH, LGB, PEG, PFG Boilers Maintain boiler using schedule below Service technician (covered in Boiler Manual — for use only by a qualified service technician) Owner maintenance (see following pages for instructions) Inspect: • Reported problems • Check boiler area Daily • Check air openings • Check boiler pressure/ temperature gauge • Boiler area • Air openings • Check boiler interior piping • Flue gas vent system • Check venting system • Pilot and main burner flames • Water piping
Users Information Manual User maintenance procedures Boiler must be serviced & maintained The following information provides detailed instructions for completing the maintenance items listed in the maintenance schedule, page 6. In addition to this maintenance, the boiler must be serviced and started up at the beginning of each heating season by a qualified service technician.
CGa, CGi, CGs, EG, EGH, LGB, PEG, PFG Boilers ❏ Check daily . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Pressure/temperature gauge or pressure gauge (steam) 1. Water boilers — Make sure the pressure reading on the boiler pressure/temperature gauge does not exceed 24 psig. Higher pressure may indicate a problem with the expansion tank or gauge. 2. Steam boilers — Make sure the pressure reading on the boiler pressure gauge does not exceed 15 psig. Higher pressure indicates a problem with the gauge or limit control.
Users Information Manual ❏ Check monthly . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Automatic air vents (if used) 1. See Figure 4. 2. Remove the cap from any automatic air vent in the system and check operation by depressing valve B slightly with the tip of a screwdriver. 3. If the air vent valve appears to be working freely and not leaking, replace cap A, twisting all the way on. 4. Loosen cap A one turn to allow vent to operate. 5. Have vent replaced if it does not operate correctly.
CGa, CGi, CGs, EG, EGH, LGB, PEG, PFG Boilers ❏ Service periodically . . . . . . . . . . . . Test low water cutoff (all steam boilers) (water boilers, if installed) If the system is equipped with a low water cutoff, test the low water cutoff periodically during the heating season. Float type — See Figure 7 Probe type— See Figure 8 1. Clean float type low water cutoff to clear float chamber of sediment. 1. Clean probe type low water cutoff for proper operation. a. Open blowdown valve at bottom control.
Users Information Manual ❏ Service periodically continued . Clean gauge glass . . . . . . Figure 9 Gauge glass Normal waterline on a steam boiler is halfway up gauge glass. See Figure 9. Clean when needed. 1. Close lower gauge cock. Gauge cock 2. Open pet cock. 3. Open lower gauge cock and allow a small amount of water to flush out through open pet cock. Waterline 4. Close pet cock. 5. Open lower gauge cock. Boiler pressure must be low to eliminate potential of severe burns. 6.
CGa, CGi, CGs, EG, EGH, LGB, PEG, PFG Boilers ❏ End-of-season shutdown . . . . . . . . Follow boiler shutdown procedure 1. Follow “TO TURN OFF GAS TO APPLIANCE” on the Lighting/Operating instructions on the inside of the jacket panel. You will also find these instructions on pages 13 through 22 of this manual. Use the Lighting/Operating instruction for the gas valve model installed on the boiler. 2. Do not drain system unless exposure to freezing temperatures will occur. 3.
