5 Maintenance
5.1 Preventative Maintenance
Lockout/Tagout procedure must
be employed when servicing this
unit. Failure to do so could result
in electrocution, injury, or death.
Label all wires prior to
disconnection when servicing
controls. Wiring errors can cause
improper and dangerous
operation.
Use care when reassembling
main gas line and ensure all
connections are tight. Use a leak
detector to check for leaks before
and after servicing any
component of the gas piping.
Failure to do so could result in
injury or death.
Use care when servicing the
boiler to prevent the
accumulation of gas in or around
the combustion chamber.
Pockets of accumulated gas are
subject to combustion and/or
explosion which could result in
injury or death.
Determine the cause of any
lockout or errors before resetting
the boiler. If able to determine
cause of lockout, take
appropriate corrective action. If
unable to determine cause of the
problem, call a qualified service
technician. Verify proper
operation after servicing.
Check daily to be sure that the
boiler area is free and clear of any
combustible materials, including
flammable vapors and liquids.
NOTICE!
Proper maintenance schedule and record
keeping is critical for optimum performance and to
maintain the Patterson-Kelley warranty.
NOTE:
The combustion blower motor is permanently
lubricated and does not require periodic lubrication.

RCFs
.
Current
NIOSH
Recommendations are listed on their
website at

,
which should be viewed before the handling or removal of
Refractory Lining Materials on this or any similar device.
• Using a SPRAY BOTTLE, saturate with WATER; but not
dripping, the combustion chamber lining to prevent dust
from becoming airborne.
• Place removed
RCFs
into a plastic bag for disposal with
normal trash.
• Wash exposed clothing (if not disposable), TWICE and
