service technician to inspect and
replace any part that has been under

1.3 PROLONGED SHUTDOWN

After prolonged shutdown, it is recommended
that the startup procedures in Chapter 4 and the

this manual be performed, to verify all system-
operating parameters. If there is an emergency,
turn off the electrical power supply to the
AERCO boiler and close the manual gas valve
located upstream the unit. The installer is to
identify the emergency shut-off device.
