With the <strong>boiler</strong> in operation push the test button to simulate a low <strong>water</strong> condition<br />

(See manufacturer’s instructions). The burner should shut down.<br />

Inspect pumps and piping for signs of leaks, corrosion, or improper operation. Inspect expansion tank<br />

for proper <strong>water</strong> level. If problems are found, have a qualified repair firm make needed corrections.<br />

With the <strong>boiler</strong> in operation and at operating pressure, test the safety valve by pulling the test lever to a<br />

fully open position for a few seconds. Release the test lever allowing the valve to snap closed.<br />

CAUTION: If the valve is seized in the shut position or will not reseal correctly, it should be<br />

repaired or replaced immediately.<br />

Maintain your <strong>water</strong> softening system and regularly test and maintain your feed <strong>water</strong> treatment. Effective <strong>water</strong><br />

treatment will control scale accumulations in the <strong>boiler</strong> that have a significant effect on <strong>boiler</strong> efficiency and longevity.<br />

Ask your Zurich risk engineer if you have any questions.<br />

Annually have a qualified <strong>boiler</strong> burner/control technician test, adjust and maintain all the safety devices and controls<br />

on the <strong>boiler</strong>. If you are located in a jurisdiction that has adopted the CSD-1 standard, there are specific requirements<br />

that must be completed. Contact your local Zurich risk engineer if you have any questions.
