Check boiler piping
1. Check all gas lines and smell for gas
odors. Perform gas leak inspection per
steps 1 through 7, Operating Instructions,
page 10. If gas odor or leak is detected,
immediately shut down boiler following
procedures on page 10. Call a qualified
service technician.
2. Visually inspect for water leaks around
all piping, circulators, relief valves and
other fittings.
3. Immediately call a qualified service tech-
nician to repair any leaks.
Have leaks fixed at once by a
qualified service technician.
Continual fresh makeup water
will reduce boiler life. Minerals
can build up in the heat ex-
changer, reducing heat transfer
and causing overheating. Heat
exchanger failure can occur.
Do not use
based cleaning or sealing
compounds
in boiler system.
Severe damage to boiler and
system components can occur,
resulting in possible severe
personal injury, death or sub-
stantial property damage.
Operate boiler relief valve
1. Before proceeding, verify that the relief
valve outlet has been piped to a safe place
of discharge, avoiding any possibility of
scalding from hot water.
2. Read the boiler pressure/temperature
gauge to make sure the system is pres-
surized.

3. Lift the relief valve top lever slightly, al-
lowing water to relieve through the valve
and discharge piping.
4. If water flows freely, release the lever and
allow the valve to seat. Watch the end of
the relief valve discharge pipe to ensure
that the valve does not weep after the line
has had time to drain. If the valve weeps,
lift the seat again to attempt to clean the
valve seat. If the valve continues to weep
afterwards, contact your qualified service
technician to inspect the valve and sys-
tem.
5. If water does not flow from the valve
when you lift the lever completely, the
valve or discharge line may be blocked.
Immediately shutdown the boiler, fol-
lowing the lighting instructions on the
inside jacket top. Call your qualified
service technician to inspect the boiler
and system.
p e t ro l e u m -
To avoid water damage or scald-
ing due to valve operation, a
metal discharge line must be
connected to relief valve outlet
and run to a safe place of dis-
posal. This discharge line must
be installed by a qualified heat-
ing installer or service techni-
cian in accordance with the
FreeStyle™
instructions in the
Boiler Manual
. The discharge
line must be terminated so
as to eliminate possibility of
severe burns should the valve
discharge.
