steps to start boiler.

 Verify the boiler and system are full of water and all

system components are correctly set for operation.

 Verify the preparation procedures of Section 7, pages 33

and 34 have been completed.

WARNING

If you discover evidence of any gas leak, shut down the boiler at once. Find the leak source with a bubble test and repair immediately. Do not start the boiler again until corrected. Failure to comply could result in severe personal injury, death, or substantial property damage.

Start the boiler

1.Read and follow the Operating instructions in FIG. 7-2, page 36.

If boiler does not start correctly

1.Check for loose connections, blown fuse or service switch off?

2.Is boiler water temperature above 200°F (93°C)?

3.Is thermostat set below controlling sensor temperature?

4.Is gas turned on at meter or boiler?

5.Is incoming gas pressure less than 4 inches w.c. (.99 kPa)?

WARNING

DO NOT adjust gas valve outlet pressure. The gas valve is factory-set for the correct outlet pressure. This setting is suitable for natural gas and propane, requiring no ﬁeld adjustment. Attempting to alter the gas valve outlet pressure could result in damage to the valve, causing potential severe personal injury, death, or substantial property damage.

Outdoor Knight XL boilers are typically shipped ready to ﬁre on natural gas. Check boiler rating plate to determine which fuel the boiler is set for. If set to natural gas, it may be converted to LP by installing an oriﬁce or by making a gas valve adjustment (see page 12). In order to operate on LP gas, an oriﬁce MUST BE installed or a gas valve adjustment MUST BE made. Failure to comply could result in severe personal injury, death, or substantial property damage.

If none of the above corrects the problem, refer to the Troubleshooting Section of the Outdoor Knight XL Service Manual.

Check system and boiler

Check water piping

1.Check system piping for leaks. If found, shut down the boiler and repair immediately. (See WARNINGS on pages 33 and 34 (startup) regarding failure to repair leaks.)

2.Vent any remaining air from the system using manual vents. Air in the system will interfere with circulation and cause heat distribution problems and noise.

Check ﬂame and combustion

1.Turn the main power off to the boiler by placing the “On/Off” switch in the OFF position.

2.Combustion measurements will be made from exhaust opening.

3.Turn the main power on to the boiler by placing the “On/Off” switch in the ON position.
