Cleaning Instructions for the MACH C750, C900 and C1050
An annual inspection is the best insurance to keep your boiler operating at high efficiency and ensure a full
return on your investment.
How often should I inspect the boiler for fireside residue?
As outlined in our O&M manual, we recommend a boiler inspection at least once per year (or every
2,500 run hours). Particular attention should be given to the fireside of the heat exchanger for
residual build up. If residue build-up is detected on the fireside of the heat exchanger, we
recommend a thorough cleaning by a qualified individual. Maintenance at the prescribed intervals
will allow your boiler to operate at peak efficiency.
Figure 1 - Example of residual build up in the Heat Exchanger
Maintenance and installation work should
only be performed by qualified and authorized personnel.
Wear appropriate safety gloves and eye protection.
Use the proper tools and the recommended procedure when cleaning the MACH boiler.
Use the MACH Cleaning Tool (P-K Part #26-0000-0662) or (P-K Part #26-0000-0663) as
shown in Figure 8.
General instruction for maintenance:
Switch off the power.
Wait until the heat exchanger has cooled down sufficiently before removing the covers.
Lock out / Tag out gas supply to the boiler.

Cleaning Instructions for the MACH C750, C900 and C1050
1. Start at lowest visible pin row of the heat exchanger. Place the Wide MACH cleaning tool
horizontally between the pins and push it gently forward and side to side until the end of the
tool meets the side of the heat exchanger. The blade of the cleaning tool will need to be guided
using both hands. Move the blade in and out over the full width of the heat exchanger. If
resistance occurs due to excessive fouling, increase the force and move the blade in and out
and side to side until the tool can push through the residue. Repeat this sequence for all rows
starting at the bottom row and working to the top row.
2. Place the Narrow Cleaning Tool at an angle of less than 60 degrees and downwards into the
heat exchanger. Starting at the lower row and going up move the blade in and out and side
wards.
3. Now place the Narrow Cleaning Tool at an angle of less than 60 degrees and upwards into
the heat exchanger. Starting at the lower row and going up move the blade in and out and
side wards. Move the blade in and out and to the left and to the right.
4. Continue this sequence again starting at the top and working down with the Wide Cleaning
Tool in a vertical position. The loose residue deposits will collect in the condensate pan.
Remove all of the residue from the condensate area, the ground and from the inspection cover
opening with a Shop Vac.
5. Re attach the inspection plate back into position and hand tighten using only 2 nuts. One in
each corner.
6. Remove the dirt cup siphon and attach the Shop vacuum hose to the siphon. Turn on the Shop
vacuum to remove all the debris in the condensate trap.
7. Leave the Shop vacuum turned on and using a garden hose, wash the heat exchanger with
fresh water from the burner hole. All remaining residue should be flushed out.
8. Shut off the Shop vacuum and remove the inspection plate. Then using the flashlight, verify
that the boiler is clean.
9. After a thorough inspection, remove any residue off the inspection plate before reassembly.
10. Attach the inspection plate after the boiler is fully assembled.
