Start-Up Preparation & Installation Review
Check with local authorities where approval for start-up is required. In some
localities, final inspection of services may be required.
Review the installation section of this manual carefully. Confirm accordance with
installation guidelines, including:
1. You have read and followed all safety information.
2. The equipment area is in conformance with established boiler room
requirements. Review national and local codes.
3. There are no obstructions left in the piping from pressure leak testing such
as blanking plates in flanged joints or unions.
4. Pipework is free to expand naturally when hot.
5. Equipment is located with the proper clearances.
6. Relief valves have been properly piped as described in the Installation
section of this manual.
7. Flue gas from the equipment is properly vented.
8. Combustion air openings are not obstructed in any way and have
adequate capacity.
9. There are no flammable liquids, materials or hazardous fumes present in
the environment.
10. Nothing was damaged or knocked loose during installation. Inspect the
main gas train and trim assembly to be sure they were not damaged
during installation.
11. Installation Checklist (provided with equipment) is complete.
Start-Up Service
If start-up service has been included in the order, the factory should be contacted
after the installation has been successfully completed and approved by the
client's representative or engineers. If possible, contact the factory at least two
weeks before a Fulton service engineer is required on site.
Careful preparation can expedite the commissioning of your boiler. Most delays
can be avoided by following the instructions in this manual. Failure to complete
required procedures properly can result in the need for further service time, at
extra cost to the customer.
Service technicians will not commence start-up if there are obvious system
deficiencies. However, start-up service in no way constitutes a system design
check or approval of the installation.
