Inspect system water piping
After filling the boiler and system with water,
inspect all piping
throughout the system for leaks. If found, repair immediately.
Repeat this inspection after the boiler has been started and the
system has heated up.
Leaks must be repaired at once.
Failure to
do so can damage the boiler, resulting in
substantial property damage.
Do not use
petroleum-based cleaning or
sealing compounds
in boiler system. Severe
damage to boiler will occur, resulting in sub-
stantial property damage.
Inspect base insulation
The boiler contains ceramic fiber and fiber-
glass materials. Use care when handling these
materials per instructions on
page 58
of this
manual. Failure to comply could result in
severe personal injury.
Check to make sure
insulation is secure
against all four sides of
the base. If insulation is damaged or displaced,
do not
operate
boiler. Replace or reposition insulation.
Failure to replace
damaged insulation or
reposition insulation can result in a fire haz-
ard, causing severe personal injury, death or
substantial property damage.
Final check before starting boiler
• Read manual Section
10
, including the
Operating instructions
(Section
10c
).
• Verify the boiler and system are
full of water
.
• Verify the
Start-up preparation
procedures of Section
7a
have
been completed.
Start the boiler
• Follow the
Operating instructions
from Section
10c
to start
the boiler.
• See Section
7c
if boiler fails to start.
Check system and boiler
1.
Check system piping and domestic hot water piping for leaks.
If found, shut down boiler and repair immediately.
2.
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.
4.
Check around the boiler
for gas odor following the procedure
of Section
7a
of this manual.
5.
Verify operation
per Section
7b
. Perform check-out pro-
cedure in Section
8
, and fill in the
Installation and service
certificate
on page 33.
Do not use
petroleum-based cleaning
or sealing compounds
in boiler system.
Severe damage to boiler will occur, re-
sulting in substantial property damage.
Eliminate all system leaks.
Continual
fresh makeup water will reduce boiler
life. Minerals can build up in sections,
reducing heat transfer, overheating 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.
Venting system must be sealed gas-tight
to prevent flue gas spillage and carbon
monoxide emissions which will result in
severe personal injury or death.
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
result in severe personal injury, death or
substantial property damage.
