Pre Start-Up Check
Overview
As one of the benefits of purchasing a Gaylord ClearAir Unit is a complete Start-Up Inspection is performed
by a Gaylord Authorized Representative or a Gaylord Certified Service Agency. These tests must be
conducted prior to use by the operator. Typically at the time the Start-Up Inspection is performed, the
operation and general maintenance of the Gaylord equipment is demonstrated and described to the
operating personnel. It is the responsibility of the Gaylord Authorized Representative or Agency to
coordinate the date of Start-Up with any personnel such as the GC, owner, owner’s rep, Fire Marshall, fire
protection contractor, air balancer etc., required to witness the Start-Up.
Pre Start-Up Requirements
Before a Gaylord Start-Up can be performed, the responsible contractor or dealer must have the ClearAir
Unit installed and operating. The following is a check list of items that must be completed prior to a Start-
Up being conducted.
