7.2.1 Burners
Close main manual gas valve before proceeding.
Checking the burners for debris - Remove the ignitor/
burner access panel and ignitor, and inspect the
burners through the ignitor hole using a flashlight to
illuminate. If there is any indication of debris on the
burners that is visible, all the burners will need to be
inspected more thoroughly. Remove the gas manifold
assemblies and the burner assemblies. Inspect the
burners. Clean burners, if necessary, by blowing
compressed air from the outside of the burners into
the center of the burner. A dirty burner may be an
indication of improper combustion or dirty combustion
air. Determine the cause, and correct. Replace the
burners in the reverse order.
7.2.2 Filter
The filter used in the Pennant is washable and has
an 80% arrestance rating. Since the filter is washable,
it will only need replacement occasionally. If filter
replacement is needed, it should only be replaced with
a factory part. Inspect the air filter monthly, or more
often in dirty environments. If there is debris on the
air filter, remove it from the filter frame, and wash
it with mild soap and water. Ensure that the filter is
completely dry before reinstalling.
7.2.3 Gas Valves
The gas valves are designed to operate with
supply pressures of 4-13 in. w.c. (1.0 to 3.2 kPa).
To remove a valve, shut off 120-volt power
and the manual gas shutoff valve. Remove the front
panels from the unit. Disconnect the wires to the valve.
Disengage the unions before and after the valve, and
remove the valve. Pull the pipe nipples from the inlet
and outlet of the valve, and clean the threads on the
pipe nipples for reuse. Apply new tape or pipe dope
to the pipe nipples (threaded joints should be coated
with piping compound resistant to action of liquefied
petroleum gas), and reinstall in reverse order. Turn
on manual gas shutoff valve and 120 volt power and
check appliance operation and tightness of gas valve
connections.
7.2.4 Manual Reset High Limit Control
The high limit switch is a manual reset, non-
adjustable switch with a remote bulb-type sensor.
Switches for water heaters and low temperature boiler
models are set at 200°F. Switches for standard boilers
are set at 240°F.
The control is located behind the front door, on a
panel in front of the blower. The probe is in the outlet
side of the header.
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.
