8 Initial Start-up
The first start-up of operation for a newly installed
facility may only be carried out by Köb Holz-
heizsysteme GmbH or another trained specialist.
Before the initial start-up, fill the facility with water,
provide fuel in the storage unit for the initial start-
up and inspect the installation.
8.1
Filling the heating system
The first filling is usually done with untreated water
without any chemical water treatment but definitely
filtered and thus free of any suspended matter.
Be sure to carefully bleed out any air when the fill-
ing is done. With difficult water conditions (high
degree of hardness, etc) and/or large water vol-
umes, follow VDI Guideline 2035 "Preventing
Damage by Corrosion and Scaling in Hot Water
Heating Systems" by taking necessary measures
to treat the water.
Note: The filling pressure of the cold water re-
serve should be approx. 0.1 bar times greater
than the set pressure of the closed expansion
container.
8.2
The fuel for the initial start-up
A sufficient quantity of dry fuel (max of w 20%)
should be stored.
- Approx. ten full hours of operation for auto-
matic operation.
-
Approx. two burner fillings for manually loaded
operation.
8.3
Inspecting the installation
Before the initial start-up, the future operating or-
ganisation must inspect the installation with the in-
stalling firm (installing heating engineer, electri-
cian) for the following points:
1. Exhaust gas connection piece connected to
the exhaust gas line to the chimney.
2. Chimney completely installed with clear cross-
sectional area all the way through.
3. Safety valve mounted on burner and/or burner
inlet.
4. Thermal run-off safety valve connected to the
cold water mains.
5. The sensor for the thermal run-off safety valve
is in the dipping shell.
6. The container for extinguishing water (option)
on the feed auger is filled with water.
7. The sensor for the extinguishing valve (option)
is firmly mounted on the pipe for the feed au-
ger.
8. The expansion contained is connected.
9. The conveyor devices between the burner and
material storage unit are installed.
10. The facility has been filled with water.
11. Combustible fuel has been provided in the
storage unit for the trial operation.
12. The safety end switch has been installed on
the door to the material storage place (if there
is a door that can be walked through).
13. The control system is connected to the electric
mains.
14. The motors, switches and sensors are all con-
nected electrically.
Do not put the facility into operation too soon
without the presence of a specialist from Köb
Holzheizsysteme GmbH or another trained spe-
cialist.
In case of damage, you would lose your war-
ranty claims.

Initial start-up and handover
A competent contact person from the operating or-
ganisation's side has to be continuously present for
the initial start-up and handover.
The positively carried out inspection of the installa-
tion has to be confirmed by the installing heating
engineer by handing over these signed Installation
Instructions.
By following these Installation Instructions and
thereafter the Operating Instruction, you will be
provided with heat from wood in a safe, reliable
and convenient fashion.
Köb Holzheizsysteme GmbH thanks you for your
trust shown.
These Installation Instructions should be kept
at the facility on a permanent basis.
