Start-up and Check-out

1. Make sure the system is free of leaks and that air is

purged from the system.

CAUTION

Fix any leaks found before proceeding
further. Leakage from the boiler piping
can result in severe damage to the boiler.

2. Many soldering fluxes contain Zinc Chloride which can

cause severe corrosion damage to stainless steel. After

completing all domestic water connections, flush the

indirect water heater thoroughly before leaving the
installation. This is particularly important if the

indirect water heater will be unused for an extended

period of time after installation. Flush the indirect

water heater by drawing at least three times its volume

from the tank.

3. Make sure that all electrical connections are made

correctly and that no exposed high voltage wiring is

present.

4. Make sure that each zone valve or circulator operates

when, and only when, its thermostat calls for heat. Let

each zone operate long enough to purge any remaining

air from the system.

5. Set the indirect water heater to the desired temperature.

Because hot water presents a scald hazard, it is best to set

the thermostat at 120°F or lower and raise it only if

necessary to provide adequate hot water.

6. Re-enable the burner and allow the boiler to operate.

Make sure that the boiler shuts down when the indirect

water heater is satisfied.
