			• Verify that the boiler is piped properly into the heating
			system. Refer to Section 6 - Hydronic Piping of the
			SYNC Installation and Operation Manual
			for the proper piping methods for the SYNC.
			• Check voltage to boiler pump motor on a call for
			heat. If voltage is not present, check wiring back to
			the pump relay.
			• Replace the pump relay if necessary.
			• If 120 VAC is present on a call for heat and the boiler
			pump is not operating, replace the pump.
