OPERATION
General
Use the following procedures to operate Hatco Gas Booster
Water Heaters.
WARNING
Read all safety messages in the IMPORTANT SAFETY
INFORMATION section before operating this equipment.
CAUTION
BURN HAZARD: Water in unit is very hot. Wear protective
gloves and proper attire when operating to avoid injury.
Startup
NOTE: Remove the front access panel during start up.
Filling The System With Water
1.
With the external gas supply and electric supply turned
off,
close the drain pipe valve.
NOTICE
Incoming water in excess of 3 grains of hardness per
gallon (GPG) (0.75 grains of hardness per liter [GPL])
must be treated and softened before being supplied to
Booster Water Heater(s). Water containing over 3 GPG
(0.75 GPL) will decrease efficiency, increase energy use,
and reduce the operating life of the unit through increased
lime build-up. Product failure caused by liming or sediment
buildup is not covered under warranty.
NOTE: Water temperature at the inlet should be between 110°F
(43°C) and 150°F (66°C) and should never exceed
160°F (71°C) for the unit to operate properly and meet
the demands of the dishmachine. Minimum temperature
differential between inlet and outlet temperatures should
never be less than 20°F (11°C).
NOTE: Do not run a cold ground water line to the Booster Water
Heater(s).
3. Open the shutoff valve to the primary water supply line.
4. When the water tank is full, turn on the electric supply and
the power switch to allow the circulator pump to purge
air from it. The circulator pump should start immediately.
Additional air in the tank can be vented through the
dishmachine rinse nozzle.
NOTE: The dishmachine should be cycled a minimum of
three times before the gas supply to the booster is
turned on.
5. After all the air has been vented out of the system, turn off
the power to the Booster Water Heater.
NOTICE
Product failure caused by dry firing is not covered under
warranty.
