TUBE CLEANING PROCEDURE
Establish a regular inspection schedule, frequency de-
pending on local water condition and severity of service.
Do not let the tubes clog up solidly. Clean out deposits
over 1/16" in thickness.
The heater may be cleaned from the return header side,
without breaking pipe connections. It is preferable,
however, to remove both headers for better visibility
through the tubes and to be sure the ground-up lime dust
does not get into the system.
Note that you do not remove the top panel or the heater
exchanger, generally.
After reaming, mount the wire brush in place of the auger
and clean out debris remaining in the tubes.
Another method is to remove the heat exchanger, ream
tubes and immerse heat exchanger in non-inhibited de-
scale solvent for severe scale buildup.
DESOOTING PROCEDURE
Soot will clog areas between fins and cause eventual tube
failure. Any sign of soot at the base of the burners or
around the outer jacket indicates a need for cleaning.
1. Remove top and flue collector from cabinet.
2. Remove "V" baffles from heat exchanger.
3. Remove burner drawer. (See burner tray removal).
4. Remove heat exchanger from the heater and wash
with a garden hose, making sure soot is removed
from spaces between fins.
5. Reverse above procedure to reinstall.
NOTE: In extreme cases it may be necessary to do
steam cleaning at the local car wash. DO NOT WIRE
BRUSH.
COMBUSTION CHAMBER REMOVAL
To remove combustion chamber, you must first have
removed the heat exchanger. Unbolt metal combustion
chamber retainer from top and remove combustion cham-
ber panels individually.
