Freestyle 2 Series - Startup - Final Checks

Inspect/ll condensate system
Inspect/check condensate lines and ttings
1. Inspect the condensate drain line, condensate PVC ttings and
condensate trap. (See page49 for component locations.)
Fill condensate trap with water
1. Loosen the nut that secures the condensate trap body to the
boiler condensate connection (see Figure103). Pull the trap
down to disengage from heat exchanger. \Pull the trap body
forward enough to allow pouring water into the top of the trap.
2. Fill the trap with fresh water until water begins to run into the
condensate drain tube.
3. Reattach the trap body by sliding onto the boiler condensate
outlet, then retightening the trap body nut.
e condensate trap must be lled with water during
all times of boiler operation to avoid ue gas emission
from the condensate drain line. Failure to ll the trap
could result in severe personal injury or death.

If it is suspected that the condensate drain con-
nection is or was blocked, then boiler components
like the gas valve, blower venturi, igniter and heat
exchanger need to be inspected. Check for damages
occurring from water accumulation in this cabinet.
Any damaged components need to be replaced.
Failure to replace water damaged components could
result in severe personal injury or death.

33 Startup — nal checks
Check for gas leaks
Before starting the boiler, and during initial operation,
use a leak detector or smell near the oor and around
the boiler for gas odorant or any unusual odor. Remove
boiler jacket door and smell the interior of the boiler
jacket.
Do not proceed with startup if there is any
indication of a gas leak. Repair any leak at once
.
DO NOT adjust or attempt to measure gas valve out-
let pressure.
e gas valve is factory-set for the correct
outlet pressure. is setting is suitable for natural gas
and propane, requiring no eld adjustment. Attempting
to alter or measure the gas valve outlet pressure could
result in damage to the valve, causing potential severe
personal injury, death or substantial property damage.
Propane boilers only — Your propane supplier mixes
an odorant with the propane to make its presence de-
tectable. In some instances, the odorant can fade, and
the gas may no longer have an odor. Before startup
(and periodically thereaer), have the propane supplier
verify the correct odorant level in the gas.
