Check for gas leaks

Before starting the boiler, and dur-

ing initial operation, smell near the

floor and around the boiler for gas

odorant  or  any  unusual  odor.  Do

not proceed with start-up if there is

any indication of a gas leak. Repair

any leak at once.

— Your pro-

pane supplier mixes an odorant with
the  propane  to  make  its  presence
detectable.  In  some  instances,  the
odorant can fade and the gas may
no longer have an odor.

•  Propane  gas  can  accumulate

at  floor  level.  Smell  near  the

floor for the gas odorant or any

unusual  odor.  If  you  suspect  a

leak, do not attempt to light the

pilot.

•  Use  caution  when  attempting

to  light  the  propane  pilot.  This

should  be  done  by  a  qualified

service  technician,  particularly

if pilot outages are common.

•  Periodically  check  the  odorant

level of your gas.

•  Inspect boiler and system at least

yearly to make sure all gas piping

is leak-tight.

•  Consult  your  propane  supplier

regarding  installation  of  a  gas

leak  detector.  There  are  some

products on the market intended

for  this  purpose. Your  supplier

may be able to suggest an appro-

priate device.

Determine if water treatment is needed

Do  not  use

in boiler system. Severe damage to boiler

will occur, resulting in substantial property damage.

Eliminate  all  system  leaks.  Continual  fresh  makeup
water will reduce boiler life. Minerals can build up in
sections, reducing heat transfer, overheating cast iron,
and causing section failure.

Verify water chemistry
Consult local water treatment companies for unusually hard water areas

(above  grains hardness) or low pH water conditions (below .0). Boiler

water pH of .0 to 8.5 is recommended.

Freeze protection (when used)

Use antifreeze made especially for hydronic systems. Inhibited propylene

glycol is recommended.

Do not use

. Severe personal injury or death can result.

1.  Determine

  according  to  system  water  content.

Boiler water content is listed on page 6. Remember to include expan-
sion tank water content.

.  Follow antifreeze manufacturer’s instructions.

3.  A 50% solution of propylene glycol/water provides maximum protec-

tion to about -30°F.

4.  Local  codes  may  require

 or  actual  disconnect

from city water supply.

5.  When using antifreeze in a system with automatic fill, install a water

meter  to  monitor  water  makeup.  Glycol  will  leak  before  the  water
begins to leak, causing glycol level to drop. Added water will dilute the
antifreeze, reducing the freeze protection level.
