Post Start-Up Check
Check off steps as completed:
1. Verify that the boiler and heat distribution units or
s
torage tank are filled with water.
2. Confirm that the automatic air vent (if used) was
opened two full turns during the venting proce-
dure.
3. Verify that air has been purged from the system.
4. Verify that air has been purged from the gas pip-
ing, and that the piping has been checked for
leaks.
5. Confirm that the proper start-up procedures were
followed.
6. Inspect burner to verify flame.
7. Test safety controls: If boiler is equipped with a low
water cut-off or additional safety controls, test for
operation as outlined by manufacturer. Burner
should be operating and should go off when con-
trols are tested. When safety devices are restored,
burners should re-ignite after pre-purge time
delay.
8. Check to see that the high limit control is set
above the design temperature requirements of the
system. For multiple zones: Check to make sure
the flow is adjusted as required in each zone.
9. Check that the boiler is cycled with the thermostat.
Raise the setting on the thermostat to the highest
setting and verify that the boiler goes through the
normal start-up cycle. Reduce to the lowest set-
ting and verify that the boiler goes off.
10. Observe several operating cycles for proper oper-
ation.
11. Set the boiler thermostat to desired temperature.
12. Review all instructions shipped with this boiler with
owner or maintenance person, return to envelope
and give to owner or place the instructions inside
front panel on boiler.
