! WARNING
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.
Crystalline silica may be present
in components of this equipment.
Exposure to crystalline silica may
pose signi 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 o ered by the CDC and
OSHA for more information, including
personal protective equipment
recommendations.
Never use open  ame or other sources
of ignition to check for gas leaks.
4 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  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  lter. If any dust, lint
or debris has accumulated, clean or replace the  lter.
Procedure for Cleaning the Air Inlet Filter (Low
Emissions Burners)
Proceed as follows:
1. Remove the  lter. The  lter sits in a custom slot on the air inlet connection
to the boiler.
2. Remove all debris and dirt from the  lter using a non-corrosive soap and
water. If debris is not readily removeable from the  lter, replace the  lter.
It is imperative that the same type/style/size  lter is used (available from
Fulton).
3. Return the  lter to its original position in the slot.
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.
4. Perform combustion analysis and adjust if necessary.
