Perform Pre-Start-Up Inspection

Prior to start-up, perform the following:
1. Smell all around the boiler area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the fl oor, as
some gas is heavier than air and will settle. If you smell gas:

Do not try to light any appliance.

Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any phone in your building.

Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor's phone.
2. Ensure the boiler is located with the proper clearances as shown in the
Clearances and Serviceability section of this manual.
3. Ensure that relief valves have been properly piped to fl oor drains.
4. Ensure fl ue gas from the boiler is properly vented.
5. Ensure the water system has been fl ushed and is free of debris.
6. Ensure combustion air openings are not obstructed in any way and have
adequate capacity.
7. Ensure there are no fl ammable liquids, materials or hazardous fumes
present in the environment.
8. Ensure nothing was damaged or knocked loose during installation and/or
shipment.
9. Inspect the main gas train and trim assembly to be sure they were not
damaged during shipment and/or installation.

Fill and Purge the System

Completely fi ll and purge the heating system as follows:
1. Close combination shutoff /purge valve in supply, all drain cocks, the
shutoff valve for the pressure reducing (fi ll) valve, and all manual air vents.
2. Open a system valve, or fi ll through a drain connection.
3. Water will now begin to fi ll the system. Open the safety relief valve.
Continue fi lling until a constant stream of water (no bubbling) is
discharged from the safety relief valve.
4. At this point, the system has been initially fi lled. However, air pockets may
still remain at high points in the system and in heating loops above the
level of the safety relief valve valve. It is quite possible, depending on the
particular system that all piping above the safety relief valve still contains
air. If manual vents are installed on the system high points, these should
be opened to vent these locations. When only water is discharged from all
vents, the initial purging is complete.
5. With the gas shutoff valve closed, turn on power to the boiler and operate
