	+	===== Fault symptoms =====

	+	Circulation pump is running, flame is off (green “Flame On” LED not lit), boiler blower is on. The thermostat may or may not indicate it has the boiler turned on and once the boiler goes into fault condition, it doesn’t pay attention to the thermostat telling it to shut off. If you put your ear on a radiator, you can clearly tell if the pump is running and if it’s at an unexpected time or the radiator isn’t hot, then you should go check it.
	+
	+	The indicator panel will be flashing “F09” and the fault LED will be lit up. (see pic below)
	+
	+	===== Repair =====
	+
	+	- Turn off boiler using switch on red “Emergency Switch” faceplate (see pic below)
	+	- turn on trouble light if needed (it’s setup next to the boiler)
	+	- remove gray cover
	+	- remove 2 screws for flame detector (bottom right - see pic below)
	+	* lightly abrade with scotch brite which is under boiler
	+	* re-install flame detector
	+	- remove spark plug wire looking thing from spark electode (top left)
	+	- remove 2 screws from spark electrode
	+	* lightly abrade with scotch brite
	+	* re-install flame spark electrode
	+	* re-attach spark plug wire
	+	- turn on power again
	+	- press the “S4 Reset” button on control panel
	+	* Boiler should clear the error condition and either shut off (thermostat not calling for heat), or turn on (thermostat calling for heat).
	+	* The green “Flame On” LED will illuminate when the flame is lit and the unit is heating.
	+	- re-install gray cover

	+	* Excellent finish and a fairly easy process to use. It's a bit tricky to get down a good thick coat and getting it totally level and even and I'd highly recommend taping out 50 sq. ft. sections in order to get the coverage just right. With the sealer and two coats the surface is pretty smooth but I'll probably apply a 3rd coat in the near future (after wet sanding to take down the imperfections) which should make things quite a bit smoother.

	+	* Unfortunately, after renting this unit I've discovered that it is obscenely slow at sanding and very expensive to operate. Working on a oak floor (~400sq ft.) in good condition took over 12 hours of sanding to get it to a finished state ready for covering. The place I rented from charged ~$1 for each sheet of sandpaper (Kingspore 6" circular disc w/velcro backing) and I spent over $80 in sandpaper costs on the project. I'd recommend either a standard vibrating sander if the floor is in good shape or a drum sander (with it's associated drawbacks) for a floor in anything in worse shape.
