SECTION V - OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing property damage or personal injury.

If any unusual or improper operation or site condi- tions are observed, turn the boiler off and contact an experienced and skilled service agency.

Follow component manufacturer’s instructions. Component manufacturer’s instructions were provided with the boiler. Contact component manufacturer for replacement if instructions are missing. Do not install, start up, operate, maintain or service this boiler without reading and understanding all of the component instructions. Do not allow the boiler to operate with altered, disconnected or jumpered components. Only use replacement components identical to those originally supplied with the boiler and burner.

A.ALWAYS INSPECT INSTALLATION BEFORE STARTING BURNER.

B.FILL HEATING SYSTEM WITH WATER.

1.CLEAN HEATING SYSTEM IF boiler water is dirty. Refer to step (F) for proper cleaning instructions for 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 to remove air from system when filling:

a.Close isolation valve in boiler supply piping.

b.Isolate all circuits by closing zone valves or balancing valves.

c.Attach a hose to hose bib located just below isolation valve in boiler supply piping.

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

d.Starting with one circuit, open zone valve.

e.Open hose bib.

f.Open fill valve (Make-up water line should be located directly above isolation valve in boiler supply piping.

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

h.Open zone valve to the second zone to be purged, then close the first. Repeat this step until all zones have been purged, but always have one zone open. At completion, open all zone valves.

i.Close hose bib, continue filling the system until the pressure gauge registers normal system design operating pressure. Close fill valve.

(Note - If make-up water line is equipped with pressure reducing valve, system will automatically fill to normal system design operating pressure. Leave globe valve open).

j.Open isolation valve in boiler supply piping.

k.Remove hose from hose bib.

DANGER

Do not operate boiler with pressure above maximum allowable working pressure listed on the Boiler’s ASME Data Label.

DO NOT draw water from boiler while in use. When adding water while boiler is in operation, do not open supply valve fully but add water slowly.

C.SET CONTROLS with burner service switch turned

“OFF”.

1.PRESS RESET BUTTON on primary control and release.

2.BOILER OPERATING AQUASTAT - The operating aquastat, L4006A should be set to the designed supply temperature, typically 180°F.

3.BOILER HIGH LIMIT AQUASTAT - The high limit aquastat, L4006E, can be identified with a red manual reset button. Ideally, the high limit aquastat should be set high enough above the operating aquastat setting so as to avoid nuisance shutdowns on manual reset. The temperature must be set below the maximum permissible temperature for any system related component affected by boiler supply water. Under no circumstances can the high limit aquastat be set higher than 250°F.

D.ADJUST BURNER according to the Burner Manual.

The MPC boiler controls operate the burner automatically. If for unknown reasons the burner ceases to fire and the reset button on the primary control is tripped, the burner has experienced ignition failure. Before pressing the reset button, call your serviceman immediately.

WARNING

Do not attempt to start the burner when excess oil or gas has accumulated in the combustion chamber, when the unit is full of vapor, or when the combustion chamber is very hot.
