Start Up
A new system must be thoroughly cleaned, flushed and drained, then refilled with clean water.
Foreign material circulating through the system could be detrimental to the pump and to the
heat transfer efficiency of the system and may lead to future problems.
The system must be
thoroughly purged of air before it is energized for the first time. Elements will burn
out if the boiler is not full of water when the boiler is turned on. Do not connect the
thermostat wires until the entire system is full of water, and thoroughly purged of
air.
The automatic air vent is to assist in removing air from the top of the tank to prevent elements
from burning out. It alone is not sufficient in removing air from the entire heating system.
Additional air vents must be installed throughout the system to eliminate any air
that may enter the system.

Maintenance
