6.8 SCHEDULE OF OPERATOR TESTS AND CHECKS
The following schedule is the advice of Fulton Ltd. The frequency of tests and checks may vary
according to site risk assessment and/or specific requirements of the country/territory that the
boiler is installed in. Failure to maintain the boiler adequately may void the Fulton guarantee.
Maintenance on gas related parts of a boile
r must be carried out by competent, trained
personnel who are GAS SAFE/ACS registered, and who have the necessary equipment to check
combustion.
If any fault is found during these operations, contact your Fulton representative.
Prior to the commencement of any work requiring the removal of cover plates and the opening of the
control panel box, the electrical supply to the boiler must be isolated.
Ensure any residual pressure within the boiler is completely vented before working on the pressure
vessel.
It is essential that regular checks are made to ensure that scale build-up is not taking place within the
boiler. Such checks will ensure that water treatment being applied to the boiler feedwater is effective.
Make sure that lifting equipment complies with all local regulations and is suitable for the job.
You can be injured if you use faulty lifting equipment.
Make sure the lifting equipment is in good condition.
If any fault is found during these procedures, shut-down the boiler immediately and
consult Fulton Ltd.
The following procedures are designed to prevent the build-up of scale, silt or sludge in the
bottom of the boiler, water level gauge (sight glass) and pipework. Personnel involved in doing
this work must have received the appropriate training in all aspects of maintenance and safety
procedures.
In addition to these procedures, the advice of a water treatment specialist should be sought and
followed.
