Priming and Checking the System
The oil supply line to the burner must be full of oil and free of air for proper
burner operation.
NOTE:
Priming the oil line could take up to 30 minutes depending on the
length of the line.
Follow the procedure below to fill the oil line.
1. Be sure the oil tank is filled to at least six inches above the top of
the foot valve.
Burner
Start-Up
System Check
Check Test - Prior to Start-Up
You should check your system completely before operating it.
Remove all shipping supports including the three metal bands in the
combustion chamber.
Check clearances from combustibles. Be certain that the clearances
are in compliance with the appropriate Codes.
Check that all unions or threaded fittings are snug and do not rotate.
Check to verify that the boiler is level.
Check the electrical supply. Be sure that all wire gauges are as
recommended and that the supply voltage is as stated on the rating
plate. Determine that fusing or circuit breakers are adequate for the
load.
Check the vent. Be sure that vent pipe or chimney meet the require-
ments and appropriate codes. A UL or CSA/UL listed draft regula-
tor and draft inducer are required. A Reznor
®
(Option CC1) or Type
L Breidert Air-X-hauster
®
vent cap is recommended. (Type L Air-
X-hauster
®
is a trademark of The G. C. Breidert Company.)
Check the oil supply. Fill the supply tank to at least six inches from
the top of the foot valve.
NOTE:
Always screen waste oil with a
70-80 mesh strainer when filling the supply tank.
Fill the boiler
and
piping system with water; refer to water quality
requirements on page 17.
All air must be removed from the
system.
When the boiler and piping system is full of water, the low-
water cutoff control’s contacts will close, sending the supply
voltage back to the main control box.
