Startup — final checks
If combustion at either high or
low fire is outside the range given
in Figure 87, page 81, follow the
procedure given on page 80 or
page 81 for adjusting the throttle
screw on the venturi. If throttle
screw adjustment does not correct
the problem, then shut down the
boiler and contact your local Weil-
McLain representative. Throttle
screw adjustment must be done
only by a qualified technician,
using calibrated test instruments.
Failure to comply could result in
severe personal injury, death or
substantial property damage.
7. Measure natural gas input:
a. Operate boiler 10 minutes. Turn off other ap-
pliances.
b. At natural gas meter, measure time (in seconds)
required to use one cubic foot of gas.
c. Calculate gas input:
3600 x 1000
number of seconds from step b
d. Btuh calculated should approximate input rat-
ing on boiler rating label.
8. Use the ECO control display to navigate to Manual
test mode (see Figure 80, page 72) and force the
firing rate to LOW (low fire).
9. Look at the flame through the flame inspection
window. The low fire flame should be stable and
evenly distributed over burner surface with a uni-
form orange color.
10. Repeat the combustion test as instructed in the
previous steps.
11. Use the ECO control display to navigate to Manual
test mode (see Figure 80, page 72) and force the
firing rate to AUTO (normal operation).
12. Reinstall the flue gas temperature sensor. When
replacing the sensor, remove the rubber grommet
from the probe. Insert the rubber grommet into
the flue pipe, then insert the probe into the rubber
grommet.
You must reinstall the flue gas tempera-
ture sensor to prevent flue gas spillage
into the boiler enclosure. Failure to com-
ply could result in severe personal injury,
death or substantial property damage.

1. Throttle screw adjustment is

2. Boiler behavior that might indicate a need to check combustion values
at high fire (as per page 78) to verify boiler is in adjustment include:
difficulty igniting, poor flame stability at low fire, combustion noise
or high carbon monoxide values.
3. Combustion readings must be taken at both high fire and low fire. DO
NOT attempt an adjustment of the throttle screw at low fire. Just check
the combustion values.

Adjust the throttle screw in small movements. Turning the
screw too far will cause the adjustment to reverse behavior.
5. See page 69 and Figure 77, page 70. Make sure the Max firing rate is set
to the maximum given in the table. If not, adjust as necessary. Then navi-

b. Turn the screw slightly in the direction needed to increase or

another reading. Continue until CO
6. Lock the boiler into low fire. Check the combustion readings. If results
are acceptable at low fire, verify high fire readings again. Restore firing
rate to AUTO. DO NOT adjust throttle on low fire.
7. Consult your local Weil-McLain representative if acceptable results
cannot be obtained for both high and low fire.
