Maintenance Procedures

Failure to inspect the venting system as noted and

ave it repaired by a qualified service technician can

result in the vent system failure, causing severe per-

sonal injury or death.

Check Combustion Air Inlet Piping

1. Visually inspect the combustion air inlet piping for

any signs of blockage. Inspect the entire length

of the combustion air inlet piping to ensure piping

is intact and all joints are properly sealed.

2. Notify a qualified service technician if any prob-

lems are found.

Check Pressure Relief Valve

1. Visually inspect the primary pressure relief valve

and the relief valve discharge pipe for signs of

weeping or leakage.

2. If the pressure relief valve often weeps, the

expansion tank may not be operating properly.

Immediately contact a qualified service techni-

cian to inspect the unit and system.

Check Condensate Drain Trap Assembly

1. Ensure condensate drain trap assembly is firmly

secured to bottom of heat exchanger/unit. See Fig. 1.

Do not operate CHALLENGER without condensate

drain trap assembly firmly installed on unit and filled

with water. If the trap is not installed and full of water

flue gases can be emitted into the surrounding area

causing severe personal injury or death.

2. While the appliance is operating, check the dis-

charge end of the condensate drain tubing.

Ensure no flue gas is leaking from the conden-

sate drain tubing by holding your fingers near

the opening.

3. If you notice flue gas leaking from the opening,

this indicates a dry condensate drain trap. Fill

the condensate trap assembly. Contact a quali-

fied service technician to inspect the appliance

and condensate line and refill the condensate

trap if problem persists regularly.

4. Ensure the condensate drain line is not blocked

by pouring water through the condensate drain

assembly. The water should flow out of the end

WARNING

of the drain line. If water does not appear at the

nd of the drain line, contact a qualified service

technician to inspect and clean the condensate

line.

5. To fill the condensate drain assembly, if neces-

sary slowly pour water into the top of the trap

assembly until water appears at the end of the

drain line. Stop filling.

Check Automatic Air Vents (If Used)

1. Remove the cap “A” from any automatic air vent

in the system and check operation by depressing

valve “B” slightly with the tip of a screwdriver. See

Fig. 2.

2. If the air vent valve appears to be working freely

and not leaking, replace cap “A”, screwing it on

fully.

3. Have the air vent replaced by a qualified service

technician if it does not operate correctly.
