Lighting and Operating Instructions.
(Figure 14-9).
B. Turn off all power to boiler.
C. Inspect wiring to verify conductors are in
good condition and attached securely.
WARNING

Label all wires prior to disconnection when
servicing controls. Wiring errors could cause
improper and dangerous operation. Verify
proper operation after servicing.
D. Verify gas shutoff valve at boiler is closed.
2.
Before servicing gas train components
A. Disconnect air proving switch tube from gas
valve outlet adapter tap.
B. Unplug power and speed control cables from
blower.
C. Unplug ignition and ground wires from ignitor/
flame sensor.
D. Loosen nut on top of gas valve (1-1/8 in.
wrench).
E. Use a 10 mm wrench to remove four nuts
securing burner door to heat exchanger
(Figure 17-1). Carefully remove door/
blower, being careful not to damage
the refractory insulation on inside of door
(see Refractory warning) or ignitor/flame
sensor.
3.
Inspect heat exchanger combustion chamber.
Vacuum any debris found on coil surfaces. If
further cleaning is necessary, use heat exchanger
cleaning kit (111705-01). Water and vinegar are
