It is vitally important that the instructions given in this manual are strictly adhered to.
Failure to carry out the daily, weekly, monthly and six monthly checks could result in a drastic
reduction in the life expectancy of the boiler.
Tests should be carried out by a competent person trained to perform such tests. If any test shows that the
equipment is not operating correctly, the fault should be investigated and corrected before the boiler is used.
Any rectification or repairs should be carried out by trained, competent service personnel.
6.1 BOILER PLATFORM (IF FITTED)
Mobile platforms are recommended to allow easy maintenance access to the components on
the top of the boiler (i.e. the water level probes, main steam valve, vent and safety valves).
It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that a site risk assessment is carried out for the safe
use of ladders and working at height on the platform.
Inspect the steam and feedwater pipework, valves and fittings for signs of leakage. If leaks are
suspected, shut-down and evacuate the system to atmospheric pressure before attempting any
repairs.
Note: Ensure that the water level is maintained during the pressure build-up. If any part of the equipment is not
operating correctly, the fault should be investigated before the boiler is used. Ensure that all blowdown pipework
is safe and discharged to a blowdown receptacle.
