System Check
Check Test - Prior to Start-Up
You should check your system completely before operating it.
 Check clearances from combustibles. Be certain that the
clearances are in compliance with the appropriate Codes.
 Check hangers and supports. Be certain that all hangers,
supports, and arms are adequately anchored and that all unions
or threaded ttings are snug and do not rotate. Heater must be
level.
 Check to make sure all shipping supports have been removed.
 Check the electrical supply. Be sure that all wire gauges are as
recommended and that the supply voltage is as stated on the
heater. Determine that fusing or circuit breakers are adequate
for the load.
 Check vents. Be sure that vent pipe and chimney meet the
requirements and appropriate codes. A UL or CSA/UL listed
draft regulator is required. A Reznor
®
(Option CC1) or Type L
Breidert Air-X-hauster
®
vent cap is recommended. (Type L Air-X-

 Check the oil supply. Fill the supply tank to at least six inches
from the top of the foot valve. NOTE: Always screen used oil
with a 70-80 mesh strainer when lling the supply tank.
 Canadian RAD (blower model) installation only -- Be sure an inlet
