E. CHECK-OUT PROCEDURE

1. After starting the boiler, be certain all controls are

working properly. Check to be sure that the limit will
shut off the boiler in the event of excessive water
temperature. This can be done by lowering the limit
setting until the main burners shut down. When
proper limit function is confirmed, return the dial to
its previous setting.

2. To check operation of the ignition system safety

shut-off features:

a. Turn gas supply off.

b. Set thermostat or controller above room

temperature to call for heat. Watch for igniter
glow at pilot burner.

c. Igniter will continue to glow for 30 seconds, de-

energize for 30 seconds, then re-energize and
glow for another 30 seconds. It will then de-
energize for 5 minutes before restarting the
sequence.

d. Turn gas supply on.

e. Reset the boiler and control by following

Operating Instructions.

f.

Observe boiler operation through one complete
cycle.
