START-UP PROCEDURE
GENERAL
Before lighting a new installation, water should be
flowing through the heater.
CAUTION:
Propane gas is heavier than air and sinks
to the ground. Exercise extreme care in lighting heater
in confined areas.
INITIAL START-UP – PUMP AND MOTOR
Many pumps are now direct drive. They have no
coupler or bearing assembly. These pumps do not
require lubrication. Others require SAE-30 non-deter-
gent oil to lubricate both the motor and the bearing
assembly. Consult motor manufacturer's instructions.
Clean dust and lint from pump and motor. Check
pump coupler and tighten if necessary.
Flush system before putting into operation to as-
sure that foreign material does not damage pump
seals.
CAUTION:
A. Pump must be off to check oil in bearing
assembly.
B. Do not run pump without water in system.
