    A potential customer sent this to me and asked if I'd service it. It's been 9 years he said.
    I haven't came across one before. Other Gerkros boilers I've worked on were easy enough. Just wondering if this will fall asunder if I look crooked at it. Anybody got a manual or settings for it? I can do the calculations in necessary, but always easier if one has the original setup.

    Potential problems I might encounter?

    We had one of them, installed 1995.

    Was removed maybe 7 years ago when the flu collapsed at the rear.

    Thanks. Something to watch out for and caution the customer before I start.

    nothing unusual most likely a bentone st108 burner

    .65x80s nozzle at about 8.5 bar co can be a bit high up around 80ppm

    not the easiest to work on but you will get there

    Yes board (insulfrax) easy service, getting on a bit (kinda like myself) but never had much hassle with them.
    As above, original burner St018, so as always check coil for damage and check spark generator for signs of damage also, and cracks in electrodes
