He is to see to it that 21] parts of the plant are properly maintained, if the task hes not been assigned to other persons. On sea-going vessels the tesks and responsibility of the boiler attendant rest with the ship's officer from the machine séction on duty. The boiler attendant is to follow the below vorking and ope- ration instructions.

The temperature of the vater which is to be led into the boiler is to be fairly corre- sponding to the temperature of the valls. If there is a bigger difference than abt.

Lighting-up and service 3.1 This boiler is provided to vork: A) As a seperate oi] fired boiler. 7 “B) As a combined oil fired/exhaust fired boiler. C) As a separate exhaust fired boiler. The mode cf operation of A) and 8) vill require constent water level of the boiler because of danger of burning down in opera- tion. Constent water level is not required at C). However, this is recommended, as the most favourable vater circulation and most stable operating conditions will be obtained. As to the construction ang the strength it is fully proper at C) to lover the water level of the exhaust tube section and even empty the boiler from vater, while the vhole gas volume flovs through the tibe section. The boiler vill in such case, gradually, get the same temperature as that of the exhaust gas.

If the water level cannot with certainty be said to be sufficient the firing must be stopped at once (see also paragraph 4.1) and the nearest superior informed immedia- tely. If the vater level goes beyond the tép visible vater level without perceptible reason the firing must be stopped at once if you cannot vith other measures again reduce the ter level, All the vater level indication instruments are currently used and have, therefore, to be kept clean. The seme thing applies for water level regulator and limiter. Cocks and valves are to be opened slovly and to be closed in the same way. Lacks, esp cially obstructions, are to be removed at once. Before the boiler is connected it is necessary that the safety valves are adjusted so that they can begin to function at the prescribed pressure, Alteration of the edjustment is to be carried out only by en expert fron the locel classification society, If the st pressure rises ebove the alloveble working pressure, Which is marked by @ red line, the firing is reduced end the feeding intensified.
