I.GENERAL FIELD SERVICE
1.System Preparation
Instructions for service procedures to be carried out in the field are demonstrated in this section. Steps of assembly and disassembly are in the order in which they will be encountered by servicepersons. The names of the parts listed within this manual are the same as those listed on the B&G Parts Lists. All service operations can be completed with common hand tools. These instructions have been written to specifically reflect the Series 100, HV, PR and 2” booster pumps. References to certain features such as over/under motor brackets and plastic impellers do not apply to all booster pumps.
Note: Removal of the pump body from the system is not necessary unless the flange gaskets are leaking or the pump body itself is damaged. In either case, it will not be necessary to remove the flanges.
System Preparation
The electrical supply must be turned off and the pump service valves must be closed before servicing procedures begin. If no service valves are installed, the city water supply valve should be closed.
The system should then be drained by opening the boiler drain valve and the vent near the top of the system. If a Flo-Control valve is installed and there are balance valves on the returns, then the balance valves may be closed to isolate the boiler from the system. The Flo-Control valve will act as a check valve on the supply and only the boiler will need to be drained. Open a vent between the boiler and the system.

 

! WARNING: Hot Water Hazard
Before draining the system, allow water to cool to at least 100°F, open the drain valve (take precautions against water damage) and leave the drain valve open until servicing is completed. Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious personal injury and/or property damage.
