Starting the Gas Fired Boiler
Stop! Make sure you have read
and followed all previous safety
information.
Check with local authorities where
approval for start-up is required.
In some localities, final inspection
of services may be required.
In general, ensure that the boiler
area is in conformance with estab-
lished boiler room requirements.
Review national and local codes.
Carry out the following procedure on
the initial start up of the boiler and on
every subsequent occasion when
restarting the boiler after a shut down.
1) Close the blow-off valve.
2) Close the water gauge drain
valve.
3) Open main steam stop valve at
the top of the boiler.
4) Open the water feed valve on
the boiler.
5) Open valves on makeup water
line to return if return system is used.
6) Place feedwater pump fused
switch in the "on" position.
NOTE
a) The fused disconnect switch
that controls the feed water pump
should be kept in the "on" position
at all times during the boiler opera-
tion as well as during the non-
operating period of the boiler.
b) This switch should be turned
"off" only when repairs or adjust-
ments should be made.
NOTE
The pump will continue to operate
until the water reaches the correct
level in the boiler. This level is
approximately the center of the
water gauge glass.

switch, located on the side of the
panel box.
8) With the unit full of water the low
water safety relay(s) will be in a lock-
