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. Where possible, contact the factory at least
three weeks before a Fulton service engineer is required on site.
Consider the following in preparation for your on-site visit:
1. All procedures covered in manual sections Start-Up Preparation and
Fill the System, including installation review, air testing of piping, pump
alignment (where applicable), and lling the system must be completed
before the service person's arrival.
2. Depending on the size of the system and the amount of service time
contracted, start-up service includes ring the boiler, checking, verifying
and adjusting all safety settings.
3. 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.
4. Service people will not commence start-up if there are obvious system
de ciencies. However, start-up service in no way constitutes a system
design check or approval of the installation.
5. In addition to commissioning the boiler, the service person will also
familiarize heater room personnel with the operation of all Fulton
equipment. Personnel must be quali ed to understand the basic operation
and function of controls.

Initial Start-Up

Adhere to the following:
1. Turn on the main power fuse switch.
2. Activate the boiler power ON switch, located on the side of the panel box.
NOTE: The Low Water Control will also be activated when the boiler is powered
on. With the unit full of water, the Low Water Relay requires manual reset.
3. If for any reason the water leaves the unit the Low Water Control will
automatically shut it down and if audible alarm is installed, alarm will
activate.

Combustion

It is critical for all personnel to be familiar with start up, controls, and shutdown
procedures.
