Condition of M^ater.— The first duty of an Engineer, when he enters his boiler-room in the morning, is to ascertain how many gauges of water there are in his boilers. Never unbank nor replenish the fires until this is done. Accidents have occurred, and many boilers have been entirely ruined from neglect of this precaution. 2. Low Water. —In case of low water, immediately cover the fires with ashes, or, if no ashes are at hand, use fresh coal. Don’t turn on the feed un¬ der any circumstances, nor tamper with, or open the safety-valve. Let the steam outlets remain as they are. 3. In Cases or Foaming. —Close throttle, and keep closed long enough to show true level of water. If that level is sufficiently high, feeding and blowing will usually suffice to correct the evil. In case of violent foaming, caused by dirty water, or change from salt to fresh, or vice versa, in addition to the action above stated, check draft and cover fires with fresh coal. 4. Leaks. —When leaks are discovered they should be repaired as soon as possible. 5. Blowing Off. —Blow down, under a pressure not exceeding 10 lbs. W^here surface blow-cocks are used, they should be often opened for a few moments at a time. The blow-off valve should be opened wide once a day, oftener if the water contains much sediment. The time required to open wide and close the valve is long enough. 6. Filling up the Boiler. —After blowing down allow the boiler to become cool before filling again. Cold water, pumped into hot boilers, is very injuri¬ ous from sudden contraction. 7. Exterior of Boiler.— Care should be taken that no water comes in contact with the exterior of the boiler, either from leaky joints or other causes. 8. Removing Deposit and Sediment. —In tubular boilers the hand-holes should be often opened, and all collections removed from over the fire. Also, when boilers are fed in front and blown off through the same pipe, the col¬ lection of mud or sediment in the rear end should often be removed. 9. Safety-Valves.— Raise the safety-valves cautiously and frequently, as they are liable to become fast in their seats, and useless for the purpose in¬ tended. 10. Safety-Valves and Pressure-Gauge.— Should the gauge at any time indicate the limit of pressure aliowed, see that the safety-valves are blowing off. 11. Gauge-Cocks. Glass Gauge.— Keep gauge-cocks clear, and in con¬ stant use. Glass gauges should not be relied on altogether. 12. Blisters. —When a blister appears there must be no delay in having it carefully examined, and trimmed or patched as the case may require.^ 13. Clean Sheets. —Particular care should be taken to keep sheets and parts of boilers exposed to the fire perfectly clean; also, all tubes, flues, and connections well swept. This is particularly necessary where wood or soft coal is used for fuel. 14. General Care of Boilers and Connections. —Under all circumstan¬ ces keep the gauges, cocks, etc., clean and in good order, and things generally in and about the engine and boiler-room in a neat condition. 38 INDEX.
