WARNING
Do not attempt to start the boiler for
any testing before fi lling and purging
the boiler. A dry fi re will seriously
damage the boiler and may result in
property damage or personnel injury
and is not covered by warranty.
Before commissioning the boiler,
verify with authorized personnel that
the gas lines have been purged.
Never attempt to operate a boiler
that has failed to pass all the safety
checks.
Never leave an opened manual air
vent unattended. In the event an
opened vent is left unattended, water
damage could occur.
Check daily that the equipment area
is free and clear of any combustible
materials, including fl ammable
vapors and liquids.

CAUTION
Do not use this equipment if any part
has been under water (or subjected to
heavy rains/water if the equipment
does not have NEMA 4 wiring, controls
and instrumentation). Immediately
call a qualifi ed service technician to
inspect the equipment and to replace
any part of the control system and/or
gas control(s) which have been under
water.
Commissioning/Start up by a non-
Fulton authorized person will void the
product warranty.
Please read these instructions and
post in an appropriate place near the
equipment. Maintain in good legible
condition.
the level of the combination shut/off purge valve. It is quite possible,
depending on the particular system that all piping above the combination
shutoff /purge valve still contains air. If manual vents are installed on the
system high points, these should be opened to vent these locations. When
only water is discharged from all vents, the initial purging is complete.
6. Open the combination shutoff / purge valve (keep the vent closed). With
the gas shutoff valve closed, turn on power to the boiler and operate the
circulator. Circulate the system water for approximately 30 minutes to
move all air to the automatic air separation point.
7. Again, open manual air vents at high points of heating loop until a
constant stream of water is discharged from the vent. Close the vent and
make sure it’s watertight. Repeat procedure for all high points and for
every zone.
8. Check temperature/pressure indicator reading, which should equal the
pressure-reducing (fi ll) valve set pressure. No more water should be
entering the system. Close the shutoff valve on the cold-water fi ll line.
9. Visually inspect all pipe joints and equipment connections for leaks. If
necessary, drain system, repair leaks and refi ll/purge the system. If no
pressure drop is detected for a period of two hours under pressure, the
system may be considered watertight.
10. When purging is completed, make sure the following are open—
combination shut-off /purge valve, shutoff valve to pressure reducing (fi ll
valve), shutoff valve in cold water fi ll line, and shutoff valve in return line.
11. Make sure the following are closed - all drain cocks, the vent on the
combination shutoff -purge valve, & all manual vents. Reset zone valves to
normal mode of operation and turn off power to boiler.
12. Open fuel shutoff valve, allowing fuel to fl ow to boiler.
SOLA Control Program Presets
The SOLA control (Figures 13 - 19) has been factory-programmed and requires no
alteration of program presets. Only factory-trained personnel should attempt to
alter password protected preset values.
Commission The Boiler
Adhere to the following when commissioning the boiler:
1. Verify with authorized personnel that the gas lines have been purged. Do
not proceed without verifi cation.
2. Familiarize all personnel on all aspects of boiler use, safety, and contents
of this manual. This includes, but is not limited to, the use of the controls,
lighting, and shutdown procedures.
3. Review the unit-specifi c control schematics, and follow appropriate
instructions.
