Do not attemptto operate this boiler if it has not been installed inaccordance with the guidelines set forth in this manual.Failure to comply with this warning can result inextensive property damage, severe personal injuryor death!Should overheating occur or the gas supply fail to shut off, turnoff the manual gas control valve to the appliance. Do not interruptwater fl ow through the boiler.En cas de surchauffe ou si l’alimentation en gaz ne s’arrête pas, fermezmanuellement le robinet d’arrêt de l’admission de gaz.Hydronic Heating Boilers (Fill System)Open the make-up water valve and slowly fill the boiler and allof the radiation with water. Ensure that all bleed and drain valvesare closed.Adjust the make-up water pressure regulator so a minimum 5 psig,82.7 kPa system pressure is maintained at the highest point in thesystem piping. If a make-up water pump is used adjust it to maintaina minimum 12 psig, 82.7 kPa pressure at boiler under operatingconditions.Glycol systems require a minimum of 20 psig, 137.8 kPaat boiler operating conditions.Open the boiler piping bleed valves one at a time, to purgethe air trapped in the primary and secondary heatexchanger. Refer to piping drawings (Figures 10 & 11) forbleed locations.With the boiler off, run the system pump for at least 30 minutesand bleed the system piping using the bleed valves. If strainers areused in the system piping, the make- up water valve should be closedand the strainers checked and cleaned.The system expansion tank should be checked to ensure that thecorrect water level in the tank is maintained. The tank should beless than half full of water with the system full and adjustedto the correct operating pressure.Start the boiler as described in the “OPERATING INSTRUC-TIONS” section. Run the boiler for at least an hour. The systempump(s) and all radiation units must be operated during this time.Ensure that the make-up water valve is open.Shut the boiler off and open the bleed valves to purge the air trappedin the heating system piping. Close the make-up water valve andcheck and clean the strainers and make-up water pressure reducingvalve.Open the make-up water valve and adjust the system pressure ifnecessary. The system should be checked and bled after three daysof operation.OPERATING INSTRUCTIONSFOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE OPERATING.POUR VOTRE SÉCURITÉ LISEZ AVANT DEMETTRE EN MARCHEA. This appliance is equipped with an ignition device which auto-matically lights the pilot. Do not try to light the pilot by hand.Cet appareil est muni d’un dispositif d’allumage qui allumeautomatiquement la veilleuse. Ne tentez pas d’allumer la veil-leuse manuellement.B. BEFORE OPERATING smell all around the appliance areafor gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor because some gas isheavier than air and will settle on the fl oor.Propane gas may not always be detected by smell.Propane gas is heavier than air and can collect in lowareas.Propane gas can ignite or explode if an ignition sourceis present and result in death, serious injury andproperty damage!FOR YOUR SAFETY• Have only qualified licensed professionals install, service andmaintain this appliance and your gas system in accordance withall applicable codes.• If you suspect a leak:1. Have everyone leave the building immediately.2. Do not attempt to light any appliance.3. Do not touch any electrical or electronic switches in thebuilding.4. Do not use any phone in the building.5. Call your gas supplier from a phone outside of the building.6. If you cannot reach your gas supplier call the fire department.AVANT DE FAIRE FONCTIONNER, reniflez tout autour del’appareil pour déceler une odeur de gaz. Reniflez près duplancher, car certains gaz sont plus lourds que l’air et peuvents’accumuler au niveau du sol.QUE FAIRE SI VOUS SENTEZ UNE ODEUR DE GAZ:• Ne pas tenter d’allumer d’appareil.• Ne touchez à aucun interrupteur; ne pas vous servir destéléphones se trouvant dans le bâtiment.• Appelez immédiatement votre fournisseur de gaz depuis unvoisin. Suives les instructions du fournisseur.• Si vous ne pouvez rejoindre le fournisseur, appelez le servicede incendies.C. Do not use this appliance if any part has been under water.Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect theappliance and to replace any part of the control system and anygas control that has been under water.
