WARNING
Crystalline silica may be present
in components of this equipment.
Exposure to crystalline silica may
pose signifi cant health hazards,
including but not limited to eye and
respiratory system damage. Per
the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) and Occupational
Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA), appropriate Personal
Protective Equipment must be worn
to minimize exposure to hazardous
substances. Refer to most current
guidelines off ered by the CDC and
OSHA for more information, including
Personal Protective Equipment
recommendations.
All information in this manual is for
reference and guidance purposes,
and does not substitute for required
professional training, conduct,
and strict adherence to applicable
jurisdictional/professional codes and
regulations.
Never use open fl ame or other sources
of ignition to check for gas leaks.
 Ð
CAUTION
Use caution when using any cleaning
solutions. Refer to local regulations for
proper cleaning solution disposal.
Do not allow oil leaks, dust, or dirt to
accumulate around the boiler.
2. Test operating temperature control by reducing temperature setting as
necessary to check burner operation.
3. Check fl ue gas temperature at outlet. If there is a temperature increase
over previous readings, the probable cause is soot or water-scale build-up
on the tubes. Consult Fulton Heating Solutions immediately if there is a
concern.
4. Test low gas pressure switch and high gas pressure switch utilizing the
procedure in operation section.
5. For Low Emissions model boilers, inspect the air inlet fi lter. If any dust, lint
or debris has accumulated, clean or replace the fi lter.
 Procedure for Cleaning the Air Inlet Filter (Low Emissions
Burners)
Proceed as follows:
1. Remove the fi lter. The fi lter sits in a custom slot on the air inlet connection
to the boiler.
2. Remove all debris and dirt from the fi lter using a non-corrosive soap and
water. If debris is not readily removeable from the fi lter, replace the fi lter.
It is imperative that the same type/style/size fi lter is used (available from
Fulton).
3. Dry fi lter and return the fi lter to its original position in the slot.
4. If fi lters have extreme amount of debris, investigate the source of
combustion air to ensure proper quality before running the boiler.
Annual Maintenance and Inspection Schedule
Annual maintenance and inspection must be performed prior to each heating
season, and includes but is not limited to the following tasks, which must be
done by a factory trained technician:
1. Inspect the fuel train, burner and control panel to be sure components are
free of debris and are properly attached to the boiler.
NOTE:

There is no need to disassemble the fuel train, burner or control
panel unless the technician suspects damage or malfunction.
2. Examine the venting system (air intake and exhaust piping).
 Check all joints and pipe connections for tightness.
 Check piping for corrosion or deterioration.
 Check that the piping is clear of debris.
 Check that the condensate drain system is functioning.
3. Inspect the hydronic heating system for other problems.
