system is ready for operation.

12.  Refer to local codes and the make-up water valve 

manufacturer’s instructions as to whether the 

make-up water valve should be left open or closed.

13.  After placing the unit in operation, the ignition 

system safety shutoff device must be tested. 

 

First, shut off the manual gas valve, and call the 

unit for heat. Main gas terminals will be energized, 

attempting to light, for four (4) seconds, and then 

will de-energize. The unit will go into lockout after 

the required number of trial for ignition periods. 

 

Second, turn the power off, press the manual reset 

button on the boiler control, or the user display, 

open the manual gas valve and allow the unit to 

light. While the unit is operating, close the manual 

gas valve and ensure that power to the main gas 

valve has been cut.

14.  Within three (3) days of start-up, recheck all air 

bleeders and the expansion tank as described in 

Steps 4 and 8 above.

Important Note:

 The installer is responsible for 

identifying to the owner/operator the location of all 

emergency shutoff devices.

 WARNING

Do not use this appliance if any part has been under 

water. Immediately call a qualified service technician 

to inspect the appliance  

and to replace any part of the control system and any 

gas control that may have been  

under water.

10.2  Starting the Burner after Set Up

Initial setup must be checked before the unit 

is put in operation. Problems such as failure to start, 

rough ignition, strong exhaust odors, etc. can be due 

to improper setup. Damage to the boiler resulting from 

improper setup is not covered by the limited warranty.

10.2.1  Burner Operation

REQUIRED TOOLS:

 differential pressure 

gauge capable of reading negative 0.01 inches W.C. 

(0.002kPa), screw drivers, and combustion analyzer.
1.  Using this manual, make sure the installation 

is complete and in full compliance with the 

instructions and all local codes.

2.  Determine that the appliance and system are filled 

with water and all air has been bled from both. 

Open all valves.

3. 

Observe all warnings on the Operating 

Instructions (Start Up / Shut Down 

Instruction ) Decal, located on the back 

of the Top Front Cover, and turn on gas 

and electrical power to appliance. 

SECTION 10.

Set Up Instructions

10.1  Filling the Boiler System

1.  Ensure the system is fully connected. Close all 

bleeding devices and open make-up water valve. 

Allow system to fill slowly.

2.  Move manual lever on 3-way valve actuator to 

"open" position, allowing air to purge from boiler 

loop. Valve is normally in DHW position until 

there is a call for Central Heat via "T-T" contacts. 

If make-up water pump is employed, adjust 

pressure switch on pumping system to provide a 

minimum of 12 psi (81.8 kPa) at the highest point 

in the heating loop.

3.  If a water pressure regulator is provided on the 

make-up water line, adjust the pressure regulator 

to provide at least 12 psi (81.8 kPa) at the highest 

point in the heating loop.

4.  Open bleeding devices on all radiation units at the 

high points in the piping throughout the system, 

unless automatic air bleeders are provided at such 

points.

 

Note that there is an air bleed located on the left 

side of Brute Elite, on top of the jacket.

5.  Cycle the boiler pump on and off 10 times, 10 

seconds on and 10 seconds off to remove all air 

from the heat exchanger. Then run system and 

appliance pump for a minimum of 30 minutes with 

the gas shut off.

6.  Using manual lever located on left side of 3-way 

valve actuator, move from "open" position back to 

closed position repeatedly. This process forces air 

out of the internal DHW loop.

 WARNING

Failure to remove all air from the heat exchanger could 

lead to property damage, severe injury or death.

7.  Recheck all air bleeders as described in Step 4.
8.  Start up boiler according to the procedure in this 

manual. Operate the entire system, including the 

pump, boiler, and radiation units for one (1) hour.

9.  Shut down the entire system and vent all radiation 

units and high points in the system piping, as 

described in Step 4.

10.  Close make-up water valve and check strainer in 

pressure reducing valve for sediment or debris 

from the make-up water line. Reopen make-up 

water valve.

11.  Check gauge for correct water pressure and also 

check water level in the system. If the height 

indicated above the boiler insures that water is at 

the highest point in the circulating loop, then the
