ThefrontaccessdoorisheldinpositionbyfourswivelboltsAttedwithM48hexagonnutsB.
The hinge side is secured by a parallel hinge system allowing the door to move away from the
front face of the boiler when turning the hinge nuts B anti-clockwise, but still secures the door to
the hinge pin.
The swivel bolts A on the latching side can be moved out of their securing slots once the nuts are
undone. In order to seal the door fully around the circumference, it is important to ensure the door
isparalleltothefrontsealingfaceoftheboilerbeforenallytighteningthesecuringnutstoeffect
a seal. When opening and closing the door always slacken and then tighten all four nuts B, not
just the two on the latching side.
The door seal utilises a 25 mm x 35 mm square section glass rope which is glued into an angle
section welded into the perimeter of the door. Over a period of time the glass rope will lose its
abilitytodeformsufcientlytotakeuptheirregularitiesbetweenthedoorandsealingfaces,which
may result in a gas leak, if leakage occurs the boiler should be shut down and the seal replaced.
Toremovetheseal,locatethejoint(usuallyatthesixo’clockposition).Priseoutoneendand
using a chisel or similar to break the glued joint, pull out the remainder of the seal.
