GOLD CGs Gas-Fired Water Boiler — Boiler Manual
Start-up — operate boiler7b
Inspect system water piping
After filling the boiler and system with water, inspect all
piping throughout the system for leaks. If found, repair
immediately. Repeat this inspection after the boiler has
been started and the system has heated up.
Leaks must be repaired at once.
Failure to do so can damage the
boiler, resulting in substantial prop-
erty damage.
Do not use petroleum-based
cleaning or sealing compounds
in boiler system. Severe damage to
boiler will occur, resulting in sub-
stantial property damage.
Start-up — preparation (continued)7a
Final check before starting
boiler
• Read manual Section 9 including the Operating
instructions (Section 9c).
• Verify the boiler and system are
full of water.
• Verify the
Start-up preparation procedures of Sec-
tion 7a have been completed.
Start the boiler
• Follow the Operating instructions from Section 9c
to start the boiler.
• See Section
7c if boiler fails to start.
Check system and boiler
Do not use petroleum-based
cleaning or sealing compounds
in boiler system. Severe damage to
boiler will occur, resulting in sub-
stantial property damage.
Eliminate all system leaks. Continual fresh makeup
water will reduce boiler life. Minerals can build up in
sections, reducing heat transfer, overheating cast iron,
and causing section failure.
1. Check system piping for leaks. If found, shut down boiler and repair
immediately.
2.
Vent air from system using manual vents. Air in the system will interfere
with circulation and cause heat distribution problems and noise.
3. Inspect vent system thoroughly for signs of deterioration from cor-
rosion, physical damage or sagging. In addition — Check for gas-tight
seal at every connection and seam.
Venting system must be sealed gas-tight to prevent
flue gas spillage and carbon monoxide emissions which
will result in severe personal injury or death.
4. Check around the boiler for gas odor following the procedure of Sec-
tion 7a of this manual.
5. Verify operation per Section 7b. Perform check-out procedure in Sec-
tion 8, and fill in the Installation and service certificate on the same
page.
Inspect base insulation
Check to make sure insulation is secure against all
four sides of the base. If insulation is damaged or dis-
placed, do not operate boiler. Replace or reposition
insulation.
Failure to replace damaged insu-
lation or reposition insulation can
result in a fire hazard, causing severe
personal injury, death or substantial
property damage.
The boiler contains ceramic fiber
and fiberglass materials. Use care
when handling these materials per
instructions on page 64 of this
manual. Failure to comply could
result in severe personal injury.
