1. Keep boiler tubes clean from soot and scale both inside and outside. 2. Stop air leaks in boiler settings, flue doors, and cleaning holes. 3. Repair leaky steam pipes and valves. 4. Keep side and bridge walls free from ashes and clinkers. 5. Keep ash pit cleaned out. 6. Keep your fire thin as your draft allows. 7. Fire at short intervals and in small quantities. 8. Keep your fire bed level by spreading coal over thin spots. 9. Do not stir your fire unless necessary. To do so will cause clinkers. 10. Do not fire lumps larger than your fist. 11. Regulate draft with dampers not with ash pit doors. 12. Work your fire by your automatic damper, not your steam gauge.--J. C. Hamlen, Fuel Administrator for Maine.
