Annual Maintenance Procedures
The CHALLENGER should be inspect-
ed and serviced annually, preferably at
the start of the heating season, by a qual-
ified service technician. In addition, the
maintenance and care of the appliance
as outlined on page 60 and further
explained on pages 61 through 67 should
be performed to assure maximum effi-
ciency and reliability of the appliance.
Failure to service and maintain the
CHALLENGER and the system compo-
nents could result in equipment failure,
causing possible severe personal injury,
death or substantial property damage.
The following information provides
detailed instruction for completing the
maintenance items outlined in the main-
tenance schedule on page 60. In addition
to this maintenance, the CHAL-
LENGER should be serviced at the
beginning of the heating season by a
qualified service technician.
Reported Problems
Any problems reported by the owner should be
checked, verified and corrected before pro-
ceeding with any maintenance procedures.
Check Surrounding Area
Verify that the area surrounding the CHAL-
LENGER is free of combustible / flammable
materials or flammable vapors or liquids.
Remove immediately if found.
Verify that combustion air inlet area is free of
any contaminates. Refer to the materials listed
on page 7 of this manual. If any of these prod-
ucts are in the area from which the appliance
takes its combustion air, they must be removed
immediately or the combustion air intake must
be relocated to another area.
Inspect Burner Area
Remove the appliance front jacket panel.
Vacuum any dirt or debris from the blower
component.
Re-install front jacket panel when completed.
Do not use solvents to clean any of the
components. The components could be
damaged, resulting in unreliable or
unsafe operation.
Check System Piping
Inspect all piping (water and gas) for leaks and
verify that the piping is leak free and properly
supported.
Inspect the fittings and components on the
appliance and verify they are leak free.
Eliminate all boiler leaks. Continual fresh
make-up water will reduce the heat
exchanger life causing appliance failure.
Leaking water may also cause severe
property damage to the surrounding area.
Inspect the gas supply piping using the
procedure outlined on Page 42.
