WARNING
All information in this manual is for
reference and guidance purposes,
and does not substitute for required
professional training, conduct,
and strict adherence to applicable
jurisdictional/professional codes and
regulations.
Never attempt to operate equipment
that has failed to pass all safety
checks.
This heater is equipped with an
ignition device which automatically
lights the burner. Do not try to light
burner by hand.
Operating this equipment beyond
its design limits can damage the
equipment and can be dangerous.
Do not operate the equipment
outside of its limits. Do not try to
upgrade the equipment performance
through unapproved modifi cations.
Unapproved modifi cations may
cause injury, equipment damage, and
will void the warranty.
Before commissioning the unit, verify
with proper authorities that gas lines
have been purged.
Check daily that the equipment area
is free and clear of any combustible
materials, including fl ammable
vapors and liquids.
8. Check fi eld work and make sure that all connections have been made in the
proper places. Check electrical connections to the motor.
9. Rotate the pump shaft by hand to be sure there is no binding or rubbing
within the pump or driver. Correct any problems immediately.
10. Check to see that pump is properly aligned while cold. The pump is
properly aligned before it leaves the factory. Because the system expands
in operation, the pump must be realigned when the system is at operating
temperature.
11. Carefully check the coupling alignment of the pump and driver for angular
and axial alignment. Check pump manufacturers instructions for these
specifi cations. The use of a dial indicator to check the axial and angular
alignment is recommended.
12. Realign at operating temperature, if necessary.
13. Make sure that the pump is properly greased or oiled.
 Pump with Packed Seal
Adhere to the following: Make certain that the gland is fi nger tight before fi lling
the system.
Start-Up Service
If start-up service has been included in the order, the factory should be contacted
after the installation has been successfully completed and approved by the client’s
representative or engineers. Where possible, contact the factory at least three
weeks before a Fulton service engineer is required on site.
Consider the following in preparation for your on-site visit:
1. All procedures covered in manual sections Start-Up Preparation and Fill the
System, including installation review, air testing of piping, pump alignment
(where applicable), and fi lling the system must be completed before the
service person’s arrival.
2. Depending on the size of the system and the amount of service time
contracted, start-up service includes fi ring the heater, checking, verifying and
adjusting all safety settings.
3. Careful preparation can expedite the commissioning of your heater. Most
delays can be avoided by following the instructions in this manual. Failure
to complete required procedures properly can result in the need for further
service time, at extra cost to the customer.
4. Service people will not commence start-up if there are obvious system
defi ciencies. However, start-up service in no way constitutes a system design
check or approval of the installation.
5. In addition to commissioning the heater, the service person will also
familiarize heater room personnel with the operation of all Fulton equipment.
Personnel must be qualifi ed to understand the basic operation and function
of controls.
