14 INITIAL STARTUP

14.1Initial Startup Requirements

Installation should be complete prior to performing initial startup; and the startup must be complete prior to placing the water heater into service. Starting the water heater without proper piping, combustion air, venting or electrical systems can be dangerous and may void the product warranty. The following startup instructions should be followed precisely in order to achieve safe and efficient operation to assure trouble-free service life.

WARNING: Proper startup must be made by a qualified installer or service agency, who must read and follow the supplied instructions and appliance markings. Failure to complete proper startup before use, tampering with controls or not following all instructions and markings may damage this equipment, void the warranty and may result in property damage, personal injury or death.

A Start-up Form is included with each product and must be completed by the qualified installer or service agency conducting the startup and must be returned to the manufacture to register the warranty. Copies are available at www.pvi.com.

WARNING: Turn off all power to the water heater when servicing or accessing the blower drive. The blower drive still has power when appliance switch is off. Failure to turn off all power to the water heater can cause personal injury, property damage or loss of life.

14.5Startup Procedure

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

2Fill 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.

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

4CAUTION: 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.
