1. Introduction
This Technical Instruction Document (TID) provides instructions for installing the AM Series
Thermal Insulation Replacement Kit # 62632006.
These instructions apply to the following AM Series models: 399, 500, 750 and 1000. Purchase
and install one kit for each burner in the unit you are servicing. For example, to service the AM
Series Model 1000 you must obtain four (4) Thermal Insulation Replacement Kits.
IMPORTANT!
The insulation refractory material is not hazardous.
However, if it breaks and creates dust, you should wear
standard, off the shelf breathing protection, such as a dust
mask, while handling and cleaning up.
2. Tools Required
• # 2 Phillips head screwdriver
• Flat blade screw driver
• Adjustable/ socket/open end Metric wrenches
3. Preparing the Unit for Thermal Insulation Replacement

DISCONNECT POWER TO THE BOILER BEFORE PERFORMING
THE PROCEDURES DESCRIBED IN THIS DOCUMENT. USE
EXTREME CARE WHEN ACCESSING CIRCUITS AND ELECTRICAL
CONNECTIONS WITHIN THE EQUIPMENT. SERIOUS PERSONAL
INJURY OR DEATH MAY OCCUR IF THIS WARNING IS NOT
OBSERVED.
IMPORTANT!
Observe local requirements and lockout procedures when
working on the boiler.
Preparing the Unit
1. Remove power from the unit by turning off electrical power upstream from the unit.

transformer, labeled “A,” up.
Figure 1: Removing the Spark Generator
3. Referring to in Figure 2, disconnect the two wires labeled “D” from the ignition electrodes,
disconnect the wire labeled “E” from the flame detection electrode (flame rod), and rotate
the air inlet silencer labeled “B” in the up direction.
4. Pull the air inlet silencer to the left (label “C”) and remove it from the fan.

5. Replacing Heat Exchanger’s Thermal Insulation
Thermal insulations must be checked every year for any damage, including cracks, chips, or
other damage. If any damage is found they must be replaced.
These instructions will be repeated on each burner in the unit.
Replacing the Heat Exchanger’s Thermal Insulation
1. Unscrew nut from the thermal insulation (see Figure 6).
2. Use a screwdriver to remove the thermal insulation.
3. Prepare the screw and the washer to fix the new thermal insulation (see Figure 7).

4. Align the bolt holes in the heat exchanger (detail B in Figure 8) with the corresponding
hole in the thermal insulation (detail A in Figure 8).
5. Install the thermal insulation in the heat exchanger, holding it in place with the screw and
washer included with the kit (see Figure 9). ). It is recommended that you use a high
temperature anti-seize compound when installing the screw to facilitate removal during
subsequent maintenance.
6. Replacing Burner’s Thermal Insulation
The burner’s thermal insulation must be checked every year and replaced if it is not intact.
Inspect for any damage including cracks, chips, or other damage, and replace if any damage is
found. These instructions will be repeated on each burner in the unit.
Replacing Burner’s Thermal Insulation
1. Unscrew the screws holding the electrodes in place (see Figure 10).
2. Remove both the ignition and flame detection electrodes (see Figure 11).
