c) To start the burner, turn on the switch

located on the panel box. The blower
motor will now start to deliver the air into
the furnace. After the blower starts about
7 to 30 seconds, the magnetic oil valve is
energized allowing the oil pump to deliver
fuel to the furnace where it is ignited.

g) If the installation is new or the burner has panel
been disassembled, the burner may not fire at
the first attempt due to air which must be

Repeat the procedure for starting the burner.

Flame Rod Adjustment for

Fulton Gas Fired Boilers
a) The flame rod adjustment is
made by loosing the lock nut and
turning the porcelain portion of the
flame rod clockwise or counter
clockwise. Whenever a flame rod is
moved, care should be taken to
ensure that the flame rod does not
ground out by touching the metal
surface of the blast tube assembly.
A keyboard display module can be
used to determine proper signal
response. It is necessary to
establish pilot so that the main gas

the flame rod in the burner plate
first, with the outside one
disconnected. After a good pilot
signal is established on the inside
flame rod, then the outside flame
rod can be hooked up and the
signal adjusted for proper
responses.
c)If a signal is erratic after adjusting

the flame, the main and secondary
air supplies may need adjusting. If
a flame rod is cracked or broken,
the porcelain will have to be
replaced to get a proper signal.

of the chart to locate the problem. Determine which cause, listed in the center column,That presents the problem by
performing the corrective action as listed in the right column titled “REMEDY”.
Troubleshooting for steam boilers
Problem Cause Remedy
Ignition Failure 1. Power Supply check fuse or circuit breaker. Reset or replace, as
necessary.
2.Ignition Electrodes Check electrodes for carbon built up and clean if

necessary.
Check for proper adjustment. Readjust if necessary.
Check for cracks in porcelain. If found, replace.

*The EC7830A must have an earth ground providing a connection between the base and the control panel or the equipment.
The earth ground wire must be capable of conducting in event of an internal short circuit, fusing 2A fuse or circuit breaker.
7830A have a low impedance ground connection to the equipment frame which, in turn, needs a low impedance connection
to earth ground. For a ground path to be low impedance at RF frequencies, the connection must be made with minimum length
conductors that have maximum surface areas. Wide straps or brackets are preferred rather than lead wires. Be careful to

ensure that mechanically tightened joints along the ground path, such as pipe or conduit threads or surfaces held together
with fasteners, are free of nonconductive coatings and are protected against mating surface corrosion.

Sketch of Layout for Boiler Room of 4-150HP Fulton Oil/Gas fired Steam Boilers
Note
1. This layout is a reference for Fulton oil/gas fired steam boilers.
2. The boiler room must be in accordance with the local code and related fire prevention and control code , and the oil
tank should fit with firewall.
3. There should be set two venting of up and down according to the size of the boiler room.
4. The chimney can be installed at the roof after it is extend the roof or the wall in accordance with the manual.
5. Gas intake pressure must be in accordance with the rated requires for boiler. Otherwise, set pressure reducing
valve or pressure regulator valve at he outlet of filter. (pump inlet pressure is no more than -10’’ of mercy, including oil
filter and resistance of line, pump inlet height should be higher 500mm than outlet, but no leakage and air resistance
occur, and set resistance turning check valve on lines, especially when tone line is feeding two boilers.
6. If necessary, fit soft connection pipe for circling pump, and expanded tube must be located between the high level
water tank and the return water intake.

Warranty
3 Year Conditional Warranty
On the Fulton Boiler Pressure Vessel
Fulton Boiler Works. Inc. will repair or replace any Fulton pressure vessel which. Within three (3) years of the date
of shipment from factory, is found to be defective in workmanship or material, provided this equipment is installed,
operated and maintained by the buyer in accordance with the Fulton instruction manual and approved practices, and
that the water quality used in the system has been regularly checked to meet the standards for ideal and proper
boiler feedwater during the warranty period.
This warranty does not cover damage of failure that can be attributed to corrosion, (including oxygen pitting)
scale or dirt accumulations, or to low conditions. Follow feedwater and recommended treatment specifications as
detailed in section 1 of the instruction manual shipped with your boiler as well as maintenance procedures as listed in
section 4. This 3 year warranty applies only in the continental U.S.A and Canada. The warranty does not include labor
charges of any kind. In the event a failure is reported, Fulton will require an analysis of the boiler feedwater to
determine that acceptable water conditions are present at the installation site as well as documentation on the
feedwater treatment employed since the installation of the boiler.
Consult Fulton Boiler Works, Inc. for analysis of acceptable water conditions.
Feedwater treatment and proper daily blowdown procedures are very important in keeping your boiler heating
surfaces free of scale formation, pitting, oxygen corrosion and foaming or bouncing water. They will
recommend the proper treatment required for prolonging boiler life. A thorough boiler inspection should take
place during the first three months of operation to assess the effectiveness of boiler water treatment
techniques, including analysis of potential oxygen pitting. It is the owner's responsibility to assure safe
operation of the boiler. To avoid corrosion, scale or dirt accumulations, it is recommended that a daily blow
down procedure be instituted. The boiler power should be left on during daily blow down so that correct
operation in the low water relay may be checked. While blowing down the boiler, the pressure will drop
significantly. While blowing boiler down with power on, it is normal to hear the boiler feed pump come on. The
burner should not turn on. If the burner does come on, turn the boiler off and contact our factory immediately.
Corrosive acid and chlorine based chemicals in the atmosphere can be damaging to this boiler. It is the
owner's responsibility to have the boiler room periodically tested to assure these damaging chemicals are not
present.
1 Year (12 Month) Standard Warranty

A. Fulton Boiler Works, Inc. will repair or replace any other part of this boiler of our manufacture which within twelve
months of the date of shipment from factory is found to be defective in workmanship or material, provided the
equipment has been installed, operated and maintained by the buyer in accordance with the operating instruction
manual provided with the equipment and generally accepted approved practices, and on the provision that the buyer
gives proper notification in writing as soon as the defect take place, and that he has properly filled out and returned his
warranty card. This warranty does not include labor charges of any kind. Follow maintenance instructions as listed in
the “Instruction Book.”
B. But Fulton Boiler Works, Inc. does not provide any warranty for products manufactured by others.
C. The electrical elements for Fulton boilers request the working voltage in the range of 220V±10%,if the user can not
ensure this request of voltage safety, voltage regulator power must be fitted. Otherwise, the electrical elements
damaging caused by voltage not as request is not in the range of warranty.
