Start-up Checklists
Installation Checklist
To ensure proper and safe operation of all equipment and to maintain warranty coverage, it is
required that the checklist be completed at this time. Many of the items on the list should have
been checked by the electrician already. Forms should be provided with each unit; if not,
contact the Gasboy Atlas Distributor. Make a copy of the checklists for use in the field, in
order to preserve originals for future use. This will ensure that you always have the original to
copy and use in the future.
