GOLD GV Water boiler series 3 — manual
VIIf Start-up — altitude over 5,500 feet ONLY
Apply the following only when:
•Altitude is over 5,500 feet above sea level.
•You have obtained a high altitude kit (with tools needed) and installed high altitude air pressure switch per the instructions of manual Section IId.
•Boiler has started correctly, following procedures on previous pages.
You will need the tools shown in Figure 20. Adjust the gas valve outlet pressure only if required as described in the following instructions.
Connect and adjust manometer
1.Remove boiler jacket top and front.
2.Close manual gas supply valve and turn off electrical power to boiler.
3.Using 3/16" allen wrench, remove outlet pressure tap plug from gas control and save plug (Figure 21).
4.Install 1/8"
5.Position and zero manometer per manufacturer’s instructions.
•Manometer must have at least 6" of tubing above the fluid level or fluid may be drawn into the gas control.
If manometer fluid is drawn into gas control body, gas control must be replaced. Fluid in valve will cause it to malfunction, possibly resulting in severe personal injury, death or substantial property damage.
6.Disconnect tube from hose barb on gas control vent tap. Connect tube end to tee hose fitting as shown in Figure 21. Then add length of hose from tee hose fitting to gas control vent tap.
7.Connect positive side manometer hose to top of the tee hose fitting (Figure 21).
8.Connect negative side manometer hose to hose barb fitting installed in gas control outlet pressure tap (Figure 21).
Check Gas Control Set Point
1.Open manual gas valve and turn on electrical power to boiler.
2.Start boiler and allow boiler to run for 5 minutes.
3.Read manometer. This is the gas control outlet pressure set point. If set point is between – 0.1" w.c. and – 0.3" w.c. go to step 7.
4.If gas control set point is not between – 0.1" w.c. and
–0.3" w.c. remove cap on adjustment tower of gas control.
