13 INITIAL STARTUP
13.1 Initial Startup Requirements
Installation must be complete prior to the required factory authorized initial startup. The factory authorized startup
must be complete prior to placing the boiler into service. Starting the boiler without proper piping, combustion air,
venting or electrical connections or control settings can be dangerous and may void the product warranty. The
following startup instructions must be followed precisely in order to achieve safe and efficient operation to assure
trouble-free service life.
WARNING: Proper startup must be made by a qualified installer or service agency, who must read and follow
the supplied instructions and appliance markings. Failure to complete proper startup before use, tampering
with controls or not following all instructions and markings may damage this equipment, void the warranty
and may result in property damage, personal injury or death.
A Start-up Form is included with each product and must be completed by the qualified installer or service agency
conducting the startup and must be returned to the manufacturer to register the warranty. Copies are available at
