Check system and boiler
1. Check system piping and domestic hot water piping for leaks.
If found, shut down boiler and repair immediately.
. Vent air from system using manual vents. Air in the system
will interfere with circulation and cause heat distribution
problems and noise.
3. Inspect vent system thoroughly for signs of deterioration
from corrosion, physical damage or sagging. In addition
— Check for gas-tight seal at every connection and seam.
4. Check around the boiler
of Section 7a of this manual.
5. Verify operation per Section

The boiler contains ceramic fiber and fiber-
glass materials. Use care when handling these
materials per instructions on

severe personal injury.
insulation is secure against all four sides of
Failure to replace damaged insulation or
reposition insulation can result in a fire haz-
ard, causing severe personal injury, death or
substantial property damage.
Do not use petroleum-based cleaning or
sealing compounds in boiler system. Se-
vere damage to boiler will occur, resulting
in substantial property damage.
Eliminate all system leaks. Continual fresh
makeup water will reduce boiler life. Min-
erals can build up in sections, reducing
heat transfer, overheating cast iron, and
causing section failure.
Glycol or antifreeze leaks around the boiler
may result in fire, causing severe personal
injury, death or substantial property dam-
age.
Venting system must be sealed gas-tight
to prevent flue gas spillage and carbon
monoxide emissions which will result in
severe personal injury or death.
If you discover evidence of any gas leak,
shut down the boiler at once. Find the
leak source with bubble test and repair
immediately. Do not start boiler again
until corrected. Failure to comply could
result in severe personal injury, death or
substantial property damage.
