Chapter 5 — Starting and Operating Instructions

Note: If your boiler is equipped with a CB-HAWK ICS boiler control
system, refer to CB Manual No. 750-229 for specific
information regarding procedures described in section A.
A. GENERAL PREPARATION FOR START-UP, ALL
FUELS
Instructions in Chapter 5 are all based upon installation being
complete and all electrical, fuel, water and vent stack connections
are made.
The operator should be familiar with the burner, boiler, and all
controls and components. To quickly locate and identify the various
controls and components mentioned in the following paragraphs,
refer to the illustrations and the contents of Chapters 1, 2 and 3.
Instructions for adjusting major components are given in Chapter 6;
this should be reviewed prior to firing. The wiring diagram should
also have been studied, along with the firing sequence outlined in
Chapter 4.
!
Warning
Be sure the starting instructions be read completely until they are
thoroughly understood, before attempting to operate the boiler,
rather than performing each operation as it is read for the first time.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious personal
injury or death.
Verify supply of fuel and proper voltage. Check for blown fuses, open
circuit breakers, dropped out overloads, etc. Check reset of all
starters and controls having manual reset features. Check the
lockout switch on the programmer and reset if necessary.
The boiler should be filled with water to the proper operating level
using water of ambient temperature. Be sure that treated feedwater
is available and used. In heating applications, the entire system
should be filled and vented. Refer to Chapter 3 for water
requirements. On a steam boiler, open the test valve to vent air
displaced during filling. Leave the test valve open until the escape
of steam is noted after the burner is operating.
!
Warning
Prior to firing a boiler, be sure that discharge piping from safety
valves or relief valves, and discharge piping from all blowdown and
drain valves, is piped to a SAFE point of discharge, so that discharge
of hot water or steam cannot possibly cause injury. Failure to follow
these instructions could result in serious personal injury or death.
Check all linkage for full and free movement of the damper and
metering valves and cams. The check can be done by loosening the
linkage at the damper motor connecting arm and manipulating the
linkage by hand.
Check for rotation of all motors by momentarily closing the motor
starter or relay.
The blower impeller rotation is counter-clockwise
