drain is inspected and ensure that condensate isbeing directed to appropriate condensate treat-ment system or drain, as required by local codes.3. Check that area is free from combustible mate-rials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors andliquids.4. Check for and remove any obstruction to the flowof combustion or ventilation air to boiler.5. Follow pre-start-up check in the Start-up section.6. Check flame strength signal as noted on display.Remove and visually inspect hot surface igniterand sensor for damage, cracking or debris build-up.7. Check operation of safety devices. Refer to manu-facturers’ instructions.8. Follow oil-lubricating instructions on pump (ifre-quired). Over-oiling will damage pump. Water-lubricated circulators do not need oiling.9. To avoid potential of severe burn, DO NOT RESTHANDS ON OR GRASP PIPES. Use a light touch;return piping will heat up quickly.10. Check blower and blower motor11. Check for piping leaks around pumps, relief valvesand other fittings. Repair, if found. DO NOT usepetroleum-based stop-leak.Periodically1. Check relief valve. Refer to manufacturer’s instruc-tions on valve.2. Test low water cut-off (if equipped). Refer to man-ufacturer’s instructions.Preventive MaintenanceScheduleThe following procedures are recommended and aregood practice for all XVers installations.Daily1. Check gauges, monitors and indicators.2. Check instrument and equipment settings.(See “Post Start-Up Check” in the I&O Manual.)MAINTENANCESuggested MinimumMaintenance ScheduleRegular service by a qualified service agency andmaintenance must be performed to ensure maximumoperating efficiency.Maintenance as outlined below may be performed bythe owner.Daily1. Check that the area where the boiler is installedis free from combustible materials, gasoline, andother flammable vapors and liquids.2. Check for and remove any obstruction to the flowof combustion or ventilation air to boiler.Monthly1. Check for piping leaks around pumps, mixingvalves, relief valves, and other fittings. If found,repair at once. DO NOT use petroleum-basedstop-leak compounds.2. Visually inspect venting system for proper func-tion, deterioration or leakage.3. Visually inspect for proper operation of the con-densate drains in the venting, and the internalcondensate trap. Clean trap as necessary. If leaksare observed, repair at once.4. Check air vents for leakage.Yearly (Beginning Of Each HeatingSeason)Schedule annual service call by qualified serviceagency.1. Visually check top of vent for soot. Call serviceperson to clean. Some sediment at bottom of ventis normal.2. Visually inspect venting system for proper function,deterioration or leakage. Ensure that condensate
