See MODU-FIRE FD 1500-2000 Installation & Owner’s Manual (latest edition) for specific electrical
requirements and diagrams. Incorrect electrical connections may result in severe injury or death.
3.0 Maintenance
The MODU-FIRE outdoor boiler requires all of the maintenance as described in MODU-FIRE FD 15002000 Installation & Owner’s Manual (latest edition) as well as the additional maintenance listed below.
These additional maintenance items should be performed monthly.
1) Check for flue gas recirculation into the air inlet. Flue gas recirculation indicates that the vent is not
installed properly for local conditions.
2) Check for freezing of the condensate lines. Frozen lines will result in boiler malfunction. Operation
of the boiler in cold temperatures may require the use of heat trace lines for the boiler condensate
trap, relief valve, and drain.
3) Check for inlet air box, stack and safety relief valve obstructions due to outdoor debris such as but
not limited to leaves, insects, snow, branches and other blockages.
