SECTION XVII- MAINTENANCE
PROCEDURES
17.1 Maintenance Procedures
The PRESTIGE Solo 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 unit as out-
lined on page 69 and further explained
on pages 70 through 75 should be per-
formed to assure maximum efficiency
and reliability of the unit. Failure to ser-
vice and maintain the PRESTIGE Solo
and the system components could result
in equipment failure, causing possible
severe personal injury, death or substan-
tial property damage.
The following information provides
detailed instruction for completing the
maintenance items outline in the mainte-
nance schedule on page 69. In addition
to this maintenance, the PRESTIGE
Solo should be serviced at the beginning
of the heating season by a qualified ser-
vice technician.
17.2 Reported Problems
Any problems reported by the owner should be
checked, verified and corrected before pro-
ceeding with any maintenance procedures.
17.3 Check Surrounding Area
Verify that the area surrounding the PRES-
TIGE Solo 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 5 of this manual. If any of these prod-
ucts are in the area from which the unit takes its
combustion air, they must be removed immedi-
ately or the combustion air intake must be relo-
cated to another area.
17.4 Inspect Burner Area
Remove the boiler front jacket panel and ven-
turi inlet elbow.
Vacuum any dirt or debris from the
burner/blower components.
Check the burner plate mounting nuts for tightness,
see Section 17.24 on page 75 for torque specification.
Check burner plate gasket for discoloration or
damage.
Re-install venturi inlet elbow and front jacket
panel when completed.
Do not use solvents to clean any of the
burner components. The components
could be damaged, resulting in unreli-
able or unsafe operation.
17.5 Check System Piping
Inspect all piping (water and gas) on the boiler
system for leaks and verify that the piping is
leak free and properly supported.
Inspect the fittings and components on the unit
and verify they are leak free.
Eliminate all boiler water system leaks.
Continual fresh make-up water will
reduce the heat exchanger life causing
boiler failure. Leaking water may also
cause severe property damage to the sur-
rounding area. Inspect the gas supply
piping using the procedure outlined on
Page 60.
