DO NOT
proceed with boiler
operation unless boiler and
system have been filled with
water and all instructions
and procedures of previous
manual sections have been
completed. Failure to do so
could result in severe personal
injury, death or substantial
property damage. Before start-
ing the boiler, do the follow-
ing:
• Read manual
Section 9
and
the
Operating instruction
procedure applicable for
the gas valve supplied on
the boiler (Section
9c
).
• Verify the boiler and system
are
full of water
.

Sec-
tion 7
have been complet-
ed.
Start the boiler
• Follow the
Operating instructions

• See
Section 7c
if boiler fails to start.
Check system and boiler
1.
Check system piping for leaks.
If found, shut down
boiler and repair immediately.
.
Vent air from system
using manual vents. Air in
the system will interfere with circulation and cause
heat distribution problems and noise.
3.
Inspect vent system
thoroughly for signs of
deterioration from corrosion, physical damage or
sagging. In addition — Check for gas-tight seal at
every connection and seam.
If you discover evidence of any
gas leak, shut down the boiler
at once. Find the leak source
with bubble test and repair
immediately. Do not start
boiler again until corrected.
Failure to comply could re-
sult in severe personal injury,
death or substantial property
damage.
Eliminate all system leaks.
Continual fresh makeup water
will reduce boiler life. Miner-
als can build up in sections,
reducing heat transfer, over-
heating cast iron, and causing
section failure.
Glycol or antifreeze leaks
around the boiler may result
in fire, causing severe personal
injury, death or substantial
property damage.
Do not use
petroleum-based
cleaning or sealing com-
pounds
in boiler system.
Severe damage to boiler will
occur, resulting in substantial
property damage.
Venting system must be sealed
gas-tight
to prevent flue gas spill-
age and carbon monoxide emissions
which will result in severe personal
injury or death.
4.
Check around the boiler
for gas odor following the
procedure of Section
7a
of this manual.
5.
Verify operation
per Section
7b
