Boiler Manual
Part Number 550-110-593/1099 33
Check-out procedure — checklist7
❏Boiler and heat distribution units filled with water?
❏Automatic air vent, if used, open one full turn?
❏Air purged from system?
❏Air purged from gas piping? Piping checked for leaks?
❏Correctly sized manifold orifices installed? Refer to Table 2,
page 12 to check size and fuel type.
Correctly sized manifold orifices must be used.
Failure to do so will cause severe personal
injury, death or substantial property damage.
❏Followed lighting/operating instructions on boiler or in
manual section 8, page 34 or section 9, page 37 for proper
start-up?
❏Proper burner flame observed? Refer to Check burner flame,
manual section 6d, page 32.
❏Test limit control — While burners are operating, move
indicator on limit control below actual boiler water
temperature. Burners should go off while circulator
continues to operate. Raise setting on limit control above
boiler water temperature and burners should reignite.
❏Test additional field-installed controls — If boiler has a low
water cutoff, additional high limit or other controls, test for
operation as outlined by manufacturer. Burners should be
operating and should go off when controls are tested. When
controls are restored, burners should reignite.
❏Botton on spill switch pushed in?
❏Test ignition system safety device:
a. Standing pilot — Turn gas cock knob to PILOT
position and extinguish pilot flame. Pilot gas flow
should stop in less than 3 minutes. Put system back
into operation (see section 6, pages 28-32).
b. Spark-ignited pilot— Connect manometer to outlet
side of gas valve. Start boiler, allowing for normal start-
up cycle to occur and main burners to ignite. With
main burners on, manually shut off gas supply at
manual main shutoff gas valve. Burners should go off.
Open manual main shutoff gas valve. Manometer
should confirm there is no gas flow. Pilot will relight,
flame sensing element will sense pilot flame and main
burners reignite.
❏Set limit control(s) to system temperature requirements.
Adjust balancing valves and controls to provide design
temperature to system.
❏For multiple zones, adjust flow so it is about the same in
each zone.
❏Verify thermostat heat anticipator (if available) set properly?
Refer to Field wiring, manual section 5, page 27,
Thermostat(s).
❏Cycle boiler with thermostat — Raise to highest setting and
verify boiler goes through normal start-up cycle. Lower to
lowest setting and verify boiler goes off.
❏Measure natural gas input:
a. Operate boiler 10 minutes.
b. Turn off other appliances.
c. At natural gas meter, measure time (in seconds)
required to use one cubic foot of gas.
d. Calculate gas input:
3600 x 1000
number of seconds from stepc= Btuh
e. Btuh calculated should approximate input rating on
boiler rating label.
❏Check manifold gas pressure by connecting manometer to
downstream test tapping on main gas valve. Manifold
pressure for natural gas should be 3.5" w.c. and for propane
gas should be 10" w.c.
❏Observe several operating cycles for proper operation.
❏Set room thermostat to desired room temperature.
❏Fill in Installation and service certificate below?
❏Review all instructions shipped with this boiler with owner
or maintenance person. Return instructions to envelope and
give to owner or place in pocket inside front panel in boiler.
❏Installation instructions have been followed.
❏Check out sequence has been performed.
❏Above information is certified to be correct.
