4. Adjust burner to obtain values noted in firetestreport.5. Complete safety and operating control checks.6. Repair or replace any inoperative or damagedcomponents.7. Log service procedures in water heater log.F. Annual Water Heater Inspection and Check.1. Replace air filter.2. Remove and inspect pilot assembly.3. Remove lower front jacket panel and check forany signs of corrosion and leaks.4. Remove pipe plugs in header and inspect insideof copper tubes and header.5. Flush water heater and mechanically remove anyscale.6. Remove, inspect and clean water flow switch andlow water cut-off(s).7. Complete “tune up” procedures. (See Item D.)8. Log service procedures in appliance log.9. Repair or replace any inoperative or damgedcomponents.10. Vent/Air Intake Sytem. Inspect for obstructions,soot accumulation, proper support, anddeterioration of pipe, fittings, and joints.a) Clean terminal screens. Terminals must befree of obstruction, undamged, with screenssecurely in place.b) Terminal and wall thimbles (if used) must beweathertight.c) Pipe must be full round shape, and show nodamage from impact or excessive temperature.d) Pipe must be supported at minimum five (5)foot intervals and must not sag.e) All vent joints must be secure and watertight.f) Horizontal vent tee drain or vertical vent teedrain (if used) must have minimum 6 inch trapand allow condensate to flow freely. To clean:i) Disconnect drain tube from drain fitting.ii) Flush drain tube with water. Fill trap withwater.iii) Securely fasten drain tube to drain fitting,providing gas-tight and watertight seal.g) If pipe must be disassembled for removal ofobstructions or resealing of joint, see ventingsection of the manual.11. Low Water Cutoff (if so equiped)a) Float type low water cutoffs should bedismantled annually by qualified personnel, tothe extent necessary to ensure freedom fromobstructions and proper functioning of theworking parts.i) Inspect connecting lines to water heater for accumulationof mud, scale, etc., and clean as required.ii) Examine all visible wiring for brittle or worn insulationand make sure electrical contacts are clean andthat they function properly. Give special attention tosolder joints on bellows and float when this type ofcontrol is used.iii)Check float for evidence of collapse and check mercurybulb (where applicable) for mercury separationor discoloration.G. Air Filter:A. Perform a visual inspection of air filter andreplace as necessary.1. Remove upper front panel.2. Remove red tube from nipple on filterassembly.3. Remove wing nut.4. Remove filter assembly from water heater.5. Remove foam pre-filter and wash with soapand water.6. Replace primary filter as necessary.H. Pilot and Main Flame:A. Perform a visual inspection of pilot burnerflame.1. Refer to the flame safeguard instructionmanual and conduct a pilot turndown test.2. Observe pilot operation and record pilotsignal. See figure 26.B. Pilot Cleaning and Maintenance1. Shut off gas supply and disconnectelectrical service.2. Disconnect flame rod, ignition electrode,loosen and remove pilot gas line andcombustion air line from fan.3. Remove mounting fasteners and pull piloassembly from heat exchanger.4. Examine pilot electrode and set gap to 1/8”if needed. Clean as required.5. Reassemble in reverse order using a newgasket available from Thermal Solutions.C. Perform a visual inspection of main burnerflame.1. Observe main flame and record flamesignal. See figure 26.43
