CHAPTER 17 - MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
17.1. Service Technician Maintenance Procedures
The EXALT must be inspected and serviced annually,
preferably at the start of the heating season, by a
qualified service technician. In addition, the owner
maintenance and care of the unit as outlined in
Chapter 16 on page 83 and further explained in
the EXALT User’s Information manual should be
performed to assure maximum efficiency and
reliability of the unit. Failure to service and maintain
the EXALT and the system components can result in
equipment failure, resulting in substantial property
damage, serious injury, or death.
The following information provides detailed
instructions for completing the service techni-
cian maintenance items outlined in the main-
tenance schedule of Chapter 16 on page 83.
17.2. Reported Problems
Any problems reported by the owner should be
checked, veried and corrected before proceeding
with any maintenance procedures.
17.3. Check Surrounding Area
• Verify that the area surrounding the EXALT is free of
combustible / ammable materials or ammable
vapors or liquids. Remove immediately if found.
• Verify that combustion air inlet area is free of any
contaminates. Refer to the materials listed in
Section 2.1 on page 5 of this manual. If any of
these products are in the area from which the unit
takes its combustion air, they must be removed
immediately or the combustion air intake must be
relocated to another area.
17.4. Inspect Burner Area
• Remove the boiler front jacket panel and venturi
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 87 for
torque specication.
• Check burner plate gasket for discoloration or damage.
• Check for ue gas leakage where the condensate
pan connects to the heat exchanger and at the top
and bottom of the internal vent pipe.
WARNING
NOTICE
• 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 unreliable or unsafe operation. Failure
to comply with this instruction can result in sub-
stantial property damage, serious injury, or death.
17.5. Check System Piping
• Inspect all water and gas piping for leaks and verify
that the piping is properly supported.
• Inspect the ttings and components on the unit
and verify they are leak free.
Eliminate all system water 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 surrounding area.
Inspect the gas supply piping using the procedure
outlined in Section 11.3.3 on page 71. Failure to
comply with this instruction can result in substantial
property damage, serious injury, or death.
17.6. Clean Condensate Drain Assembly
For the EXALT Combi unit, the front panel needs
to be removed to gain access to the condensate
drain assembly.
• Loosen the retaining nut from the condensate drain
assembly and disconnect the assembly from the boiler.
• Empty any water from the trap and ush with fresh
water as necessary to clean.
• Remove plastic ball and clean with fresh water.
• Check the drain piping from the condensate drain
assembly to the drain. Refer to Section 6.2 on page
37. Flush to clean as necessary.
• Install the plastic ball into the condensate drain
assembly and reassemble onto the boiler by
tightening the retaining nut with rubber seal onto
the boiler. Hand tight only.
• Remove the ll plug on the condensate drain
assembly and ll with water. See Fig. 24 on page 38.
• Replace the ll plug on drain assembly.
