33 Startup — final checks
Inspect/fill condensate system
Inspect/check condensate lines and fittings
1. Inspect the condensate drain line, condensate PVC fittings and
condensate trap. (See page 49 for component locations.)
Fill condensate trap with water
1. Loosen the nut that secures the condensate trap body to the
boiler condensate connection (see Figure 103). Pull the trap
down to disengage from heat exchanger. \Pull the trap body
forward enough to allow pouring water into the top of the trap.
2. Fill the trap with fresh water until water begins to run into the
condensate drain tube.
3. Reattach the trap body by sliding onto the boiler condensate
outlet, then retightening the trap body nut.
The condensate trap must be filled with water during
all times of boiler operation to avoid flue gas emission
from the condensate drain line. Failure to fill the trap
could result in severe personal injury or death.
Figure 103 Disconnect condensate trap assembly to fill
trap body with water
If it is suspected that the condensate drain con-
nection is or was blocked, then boiler components
like the gas valve, blower venturi, igniter and heat
exchanger need to be inspected. Check for damages
occurring from water accumulation in this cabinet.
Any damaged components need to be replaced.
Failure to replace water damaged components could
result in severe personal injury or death.

Check for gas leaks
Before starting the boiler, and during initial operation,
use a leak detector or smell near the floor and around
the boiler for gas odorant or any unusual odor. Remove
boiler jacket door and smell the interior of the boiler
jacket.
Do not proceed with startup if there is any
indication of a gas leak. Repair any leak at once
DO NOT adjust or attempt to measure gas valve out-
The gas valve is factory-set for the correct
let pressure.
outlet pressure. This setting is suitable for natural gas
and propane, requiring no field adjustment. Attempting
to alter or measure the gas valve outlet pressure could
result in damage to the valve, causing potential severe
personal injury, death or substantial property damage.
Propane boilers only — Your propane supplier mixes
an odorant with the propane to make its presence de-
tectable. In some instances, the odorant can fade, and
the gas may no longer have an odor. Before startup
(and periodically thereafter), have the propane supplier
verify the correct odorant level in the gas.
