Start-Up Instructions

WARNING
Fire and Explosion Hazard
■ Do not force the safety control valve's button.
■ Use only your hand to depress the gas control
button. Never use any tools.
■ If the button will not depress by normal hand
pressure, the control should be replaced by a
qualified service person.
■ Force or attempted repair may result in fire or
explosion, causing property damage, severe
injury, or death.
Follow steps 1-4 on initial start-up before building
repopulation. For normal start-up, simply turn the
thermostatic head above room temperature.
1. Open all gas supply valves to the brood heater(s)
and check for gas leaks at all connections using
approved lead detectors.
2. Adjust the thermostatic head, located on either the
zone control panel, or for individually controlled
brood heaters, (located directly on the brood
heater), to its maximum temperature setting. See
Fig. 7, zone panel is shown.

3. Fully depress the button on the safety control
valve while applying flame to the inner cone
point. Remove the vinyl cap from the safety valve
if necessary. See Fig.8, I-17 shown. Keep the
button fully depressed for about 30 seconds until
the inner cone stays lit. Release the button. Allow
outer combustion cone to heat up completely.
Replace the cap onto the safety control valve.

4. Set thermostatic head to desired temperature. The
brood heater will cycle from low heat to high heat
based upon thermostatic head set point.
■ It is normal for air to be trapped in the gas line on
new installations.
■ It may take slightly longer for the brood heater to
light and stay lit after releasing the safety control
valve's button until all air is purged from the gas
line.

Shut-Down Instructions

To reduce temperature, simply turn down the
thermostatic control on the zone panel or on the
individual brood heater.
To shut down the brood heaters for maintenance,
cleaning or service:
1. Shut off all gas supply valves to the brood heaters.
2. Allow brood heaters to burn off fuel gas remaining
in the gas supply line.
3. Turn down the thermostatic head to minimum
setting.
