Venting system
Failure to inspect the vent system as noted above and
have them repaired by a qualified service technician can
result in vent system failure, causing severe personal
injury or death.
1. Visually inspect all parts or theuegasventing
system for any signs of blockage, leakage or joints
or deterioration of the piping.
2. Notify your qualified service technician at once if
you find any problem.

relief valve and other fittings. Immediately call a quali-
fied service technician to repair any leaks.

Continual fresh makeup water will reduce boiler
life. Minerals can build up in sections, reducing heat
transfer, overheating cast iron, and causing section
failure.
Do not use petroleum-based cleaning or sealing
compounds
in boiler system. Severe damage to boiler
and system components can occur, resulting in possible
severe personal injury, death or substantial property
damage.
