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.
