2 FIRST IGNITION
2.1 PRELIMINARY OPERATIONS
Before carrying out ignition and working inspection on the
boiler it is essential to check that:
- fuel and water taps supplying the system are open.
- The type of gas and supply pressure correspond to those
designed to be used by the boiler, as shown on serial number
plate(Sect. 1.4 page 2).
- The vent of the air vent bottle is open (Sect. 1.5.3 page 3).
- Wiring has been done properly (Sect. 7.3 page 71).
- The flues for fuel exhaust and combustion air are adequate
(Sect. 7.5 page 73, Sect. 7.6 page 73 and Sect. 7.7 page 75).
- Pre-charge of the expansion tank must be at 1 bar. Remove
the protection cover from the control and pressure valve on
the upper part of the tank (Fig. 2.2); with a manometer check
the pre-charge pressure and if necessary top up with a
compressor.
The check must be carried out with the system empty.
- The circulator turns freely; unscrew the inspection screw and
check that the motor shaft moves freely using a broad-tipped
screwdriver (Fig. 2.3).

Protect the electrical devices underneath the circulator
from eventual water leaking out before loosening and
removing the circulator plug.
- the pressure of the water circuit is between 1 bar and 1.5
bar (Sect. 7.4 page 72).
