32. Heating system maintenance - including boilers
Inspect at least once every 2 weeks. If necessary, refill the system with water. If the boilers are
out of operation during wintertime, a risk of water freezing in the system arises. Therefore, we recom-
mend letting all the water out from the system or fill it with an anti-freeze. In other situations, only let
water out if necessary and keep without water for as little time as possible. After the heating season
is over, clean the boiler thoroughly and replace damaged parts. Do not leave parts replacement for the
last moment; prepare your boiler for the heating season as early as Spring.
33. Use and inspections
Boiler operators must always follow the operation and maintenance instructions. Interventions
into boilers that could endanger the health of the operators or other persons in the vicinity are prohi-
bited. Boilers may only be operated by a person that is more than 18 years old, that has been acquain-
ted with the instructions and operation of the equipment and that complies with the requirements of
§ 14 of the Directive no. 24/1984 Coll. The boiler operation needed increased attention to safety in
terms of potential burns from hot boiler parts and systems. You must never leave unattended children
near boiler that is in operation. During the operation of solid fuel boilers it is prohibited to use any
flammable liquids for lighting the fire and it is also prohibited to increase the nominal output of the
boiler during operation (overheating). You must not put flammable objects on the boiler and near
the fuel feeding and ash pan openings and ash must be stored in non-flammable containers
with a lid. When handling fuel and ash, wear protective equipment (gloves, dust mask). Boilers in
operation must be under occasional supervision of the operator. The user may only carry out repair
consisting in simple replacement of a spare part (e.g. a sealing cord, etc.). During the operation check
the doors and cleaning openings for tightness and always tighten them properly. The user must not al-
ter the structure and electric installation of boilers. The boiler must always be cleaned properly and in
time so that free passage of all the ways can be guaranteed. Cleaning doors must always be properly
closed.
CAUTION - Follow valid fire regulations and have in reach portable fire extinguisher. If
any non-standard behavior of the boiler shut down the boiler from operation and call the
service.
