Final checks before starting the boiler
 Read this manual to familiarize yourself with boiler
control module operation. Reference page 55 for proper
steps to start boiler.
 Verify the boiler and system are full of water and all
system components are correctly set for operation.
 Verify the preparation procedures of Section 10, pages 52
and 53 have been completed.
 Verify electrical connections are correct and securely
attached.
 Inspect vent piping and air piping for signs of deterioration
from corrosion, physical damage or sagging. Verify air
piping and vent piping are intact and correctly installed
per this manual.

Start the boiler

1. Read and follow the Operating instructions in FIG. 10-2,
page 55.
If boiler does not start correctly
1. Check for loose connections, blown fuse or service switch
off?
2. Is boiler water temperature above 200°F?
3. Is thermostat set below room temperature?
4. Is gas turned on at meter or boiler?
5. Is incoming gas pressure less than 4 inches w.c.?
If none of the above corrects the problem, refer to the
Troubleshooting Section.
Check system and boiler
 Check water piping
1. Check system piping for leaks. If found, shut down
the boiler and repair immediately. (See WARNINGS
on pages 52 and 53 (startup) regarding failure to repair
