SECTION X: SYSTEM START-UP

WARNING

All boilers equipped with burner swing door have a potential haz ard which can cause severe property damage, personal injury or loss of life if ignored. Before opening swing door, turn off service switch to boiler to prevent accidental firing of burner outside the combustion chamber. Be sure to tighten swing door fastener completely when service is completed.

A.ALWAYS INSPECT INSTALLATION BEFORE STARTING BURNER.

1.Verify that the venting, water piping, oil piping, and electrical system are installed properly. Refer to Installation Instructions contained in this manual.

2.Confirm all electrical, water and oil supplies are turned off at the source and that the vent is clear from obstructions.

WARNING

Completely read, understand and follow all instructions in this manual before attempting start up.

B. FILL HEATING SYSTEM WITH WATER.

e.Open purge valve.

f.Open shut-off valve in cold water supply piping located between the air scoop and expansion tank.

g.Allow water to overflow from bucket until discharge from hose is bubble free for 30 seconds.

h.When zone valve is completely purged of air, close zone valve or shut-off valve. Open zone valve to the next zone to be purged. Repeat this step until all zones have been purged. At completion, open all zone valves.

i.Close purge valve, continue filling the system until the pressure gauge reads 12 psi. Close shut- off valve in cold water supply piping.

NOTICE

It is important, especially in a steam system, to properly remove the oil and dirt from the system. Failure to clean the system can result in erratic water lines and surging.

CLEAN HEATING SYSTEM if boiler water or condensate return water is dirty or if erratic water lines or surging exist after a few days of boiler operation.

Refer to Maintenance and Service Instructions Section of this manual for proper cleaning instructions for steam and water boilers.

1.STEAM BOILERS — Fill boiler to normal water line. Refer to Figure No. 1D.

2.HOT WATER BOILERS. Fill entire heating system with water and vent air from system. Use the following procedure on a series loop or multi- zoned system installed as per Figures 13A, 13B and 13C, to remove air from system when filling:

a.Close full port ball valve in boiler system piping.

b.Isolate all zones by closing zone valves or shut- off valves in supply and return of each zone(s).

c.Attach a hose to vertical purge valve in boiler system piping.

(Note - Terminate hose in five gallon bucket at a suitable floor drain or outdoor area).

d.Starting with one zone at a time, open zone valve or shut-off valve in boiler supply and return piping.

WARNING

The maximum operating pressure of this boiler is posted on the ASME Data Label located on the top of the boiler. Never exceed this pressure. Do not plug safety or relief valve.

NOTICE

If make-up water line is equipped with pressure reducing valve, system will automatically fill to 12 psi. Follow fill valve manufacturer's instructions.

j.Open full port ball valve in boiler system piping.

k.Remove hose from purge valve.

l.Confirm that the boiler and system have no water leaks.

C.CHECK CONTROLS, WIRING AND BURNER to be sure that all connections are tight and burner is rigid, that all electrical connections have been completed and fuses installed, and that oil tank is filled and oil lines have been tested.

D.SET CONTROLS with burner service switch turned “OFF”.

1.SET ROOM THERMOSTAT about 10° above room temperature.

2.PRESS RED RESET BUTTON on front

of burner cover (or Primary Control for Carlin
