8. Recheck all air vents as described in step 4.
9. Inspect the liquid level in the expansion tank. The system must
be full and under normal operating pressure to ensure proper
water level in the expansion tank. Ensure that diaphragm type
expansion tanks are properly charged and not water logged.
10. Start the boiler according to the operating instructions in this
manual. Operate the system, including the pump, boiler and
radiation units, for one hour.
11. Recheck the water level in the expansion tank. If it exceeds
half the tank volume, open the tank to reduce the water level.
Recheck pressure charge on diaphragm type tanks.
12. Shut down the entire system and vent all radiation units and
high points in the system.
13. Close the water makeup valve and check the strainer and
pressure reducing valve for sediment or debris. Reopen the
water makeup valve.
14. Verify system pressure with the boiler pressure gauge before
beginning regular operation.
15. Within three days of startup, recheck and bleed all air vents
and the expansion tank using these instructions.

WATER TREATMENT

In hard water areas, water treatment should be used to reduce
the introduction of minerals to the system. Minerals in the
water can collect in the heat exchanger tubes and cause noise
on operation. Excessive build up of minerals in the heat
exchanger can cause a non-warrantable failure.

OPERATION

FOR YOUR SAFETY READ
BEFORE OPERATING
WARNING: If you do not follow these
instructions exactly, a fire or explosion may
result causing property damage, personal injury
or loss of life.
A. This appliance does not have a pilot. It is equipped with an
ignition device which automatically lights the burner. Do not
try to light the burner by hand.
B. BEFORE OPERATING, smell around the appliance area
for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor because some gas
is heavier than air and will settle to the floor.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS
• Do not try to light any appliance.
• Do not touch any electric switch; do not use
any phone in your building.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a
neighbors phone.
• Follow the gas supplier's instructions.
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the
fire department.
C. Use only your hand to turn the gas control lever. Never use
tools. If the lever will not turn by hand, don't try to repair it,
call a qualified service technician. Force or attempted repair
may result in a fire or explosion.
D. Do not use this boiler if any part has been under water.
Immediately call a qualified service technician to replace the
boiler. The possible damage to a flooded boiler can be
extensive and present numerous safety hazards. Any
appliance that has been under water must be replaced.
