8.Turn knob on gas control counterclockwise l_ to "PILOT"

AUTOMATIC GAS VALVE

The Automatic Gas Valve opens or closes according to the heat requirements of the thermostat and temperature limit control. It closes if the pilot goes out. Each individual control must be operating correctly before any gas can pass to the burners. Any one control can hotd the gas supply from burner regardless of the demand of any other control.

SAFETY PILOT

Safety Pilot prevents the flow of gas to burner if the pilot goes out, or will not ignite.

GAS VALVE SAFETY SHUTDOWN TEST

1.For boilers equipped with continuous pilot, with main burners firing, disconnect the thermocouple from the gas valve. The gas valve should immediately shut off the main burners and the pilot

2For boilers equipped with intermittent ignition, with main burners firing, disconnect the ignition cable from the intermittent pilot control box. The gas valve should shut off the main burners. TURN OFF ELECTRIC POWER to

boiler before reconnecting ignition cable, to prevent electric shock.

9 Rotate the gas control knob counterclockwise i_ to "PILOT" Push down and hold the red reset button while

you light pilot burner with a match

After about one minute, release reset button Pilot should remain lit. If it goes out, turn gas control knob clockwise

to OFE To relight, repeat steps 5-9.
