14.5Startup Procedure

1 Carefully study the burner start-up information included in this manual.

2 Fill system tank with water. Some water appliances may be equipped with an optional air vent. If venting through the safety valve when filling the appliance, insure gags or fixtures are removed from the safety valve prior to start-up. Open the safety valve to allow air in the tank to escape.

3 Be sure all connections into the tank are tight, as leaks at tank fittings will damage the insulation.

4 CAUTION: Conduct the following gas train leakage test before start-up, at annual intervals and prior to investigating the cause of any reported occurrences of delayed ignition.

a.Using an appropriate bubble detection solution, thoroughly coat all gas train pipe connections. If any bubbles are detected, the leaking connection must be tightened, recoated, and rechecked to assure stoppage of the leak.
