DO NOT operate the boiler with the jacket
door removed except for inspection and testing as
directed in this manual.
Support the gas valve after disconnect-
ing from the venturi. DO NOT allow it
to hang from the gas valve flex line.
When re-attaching the gas valve, ensure the
gas valve grommet (item 8, Figure 13) is in
place and in good condition. Inspect the gas
valve flex line to ensure it is undamaged and
in good condition.
5. Locate the gas valve and venturi (items 1 and 3).
6. Release the gas line to silencer bracket (item 6) from the
gas line and rotate it forward out of the way.
7. Use a 5-mm hex wrench to remove the three Allen screws
(item 2) that secure the gas valve to the venturi.
8. See Figure 13, page 17. Carefully pull the gas valve to
the right until it is free of the venturi. Securely support
the gas valve — DO NOT leave it dangling.

opening as shown in Figure 13, page 17.
10. Make sure that the rubber grommet (item 8) is firmly
seated in the gas valve opening.
When re-attaching the gas valve, ensure the gas
valve grommet (item 8, Figure 13) is in place
and in good condition. Failure to comply will
cause a gas leak, resulting in severe personal
injury or death.
