Use the following procedure for initial start-up of the boiler:
1) Verify
that the venting, water piping, gas piping and electrical system are installed properly.
2)
Confirm all electrical, water and gas supplies are turned off at the source and that vent is clear of obstructions.
3)
Confirm that all manual shut-off gas valves between the boiler and gas source are closed.
4)
If not already done, flush the system to remove sediment, flux, and traces of boiler additives.
5) Fill the boiler and hydronic system with water meeting the following requirements below (also see the NOTICE on the
next page):
• pH between 6.5 and 9.5
• Hardness less than 7 grains/gallon
• Chlorides less than 200 ppm
• Iron level less than 0.5 ppm
• Copper level less than 0.1 ppm
• Pressurize the system to at least 14.5 psi at the boiler
6) Bleed air from the heat exchanger and piping system.
7)
Check all gas piping for leaks and purge piping sections that are filled with air. Refer to the
National Fuel Gas Code
for
additional information on testing and purging gas lines.
8)
Confirm vent system is complete and free of obstructions before attempting to fire boiler.
9) Inspect all wiring for loose, uninsulated or miswired connections.
10) If the boiler is to be converted to LP Gas (propane), convert as described in Appendix A. If boiler is operating at
elevations above 4,500 ft., see Appendix B of this manual for setup instructions.

WARNING
Burn Hazard. The maximum operating pressure of this boiler is 30 psig (210 kPa) or 80 psig (340 kPa),
depending on the model and safety relief valve option selected. Never exceed the maximum allowable
working pressure on the heat exchanger ASME plate.
DANGER
Explosion Hazard. Do not use matches, candles, open flames or other ignition source to check for
leaks.
Make sure that the area around the boiler is clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and
other flammable vapors and liquids.
WARNING
Completely read, understand and follow all instructions in this manual before attempting start-up.
NOTICE
Safe lighting and other performance criteria were met with the gas train assembly provided on the boiler
when the boiler underwent the test specified in ANSI Z21.13.
