Start-Up PreparationUse of Antifreeze in the Boiler SystemWARNINGNEVER use automotive or ethylene glycolantifreeze or undiluted antifreeze inthe primary system as freeze protection.This can cause severe personal injury,death or substantial property damage ifignored.Determine the antifreeze fluid quantity usingthe system water content volume and followingthe antifreeze manufacturer instructions.The water volume of the PRESTIGE Solo isapproximately 3 gallons (12 L). Remember toinclude the volume of the expansion tank.Check with local codes requirements for theinstallation of backflow preventers or actualdisconnect from the boiler’s cold water fill ormake up water supply line.NOTICEMassachusetts Code requires a pressurereducer backflow preventer if antifreezeis used.Ensure the concentration of antifreeze to waterdoes not exceed a 50/50 ratio.NOTICESystem water, including additives, mustbe practically non-toxic, having a toxicityrating or Class of 1, as listed in ClinicalToxicology of Commercial Products.Filling the Boiler System1. Close the boiler drain valve located on thebottom of the unit and any manual or automaticair vent in the system.2. Open all system isolation valves.3. Fill the boiler system to correct systempressure. Correct pressure will vary witheach application.NOTICETypical residential system fill pressure is12 psi. System pressure will increasewhen system temperature increases.Operating pressure of the system shouldnever exceed 25 psi.4. Purge air and sediment in each zone of theboiler system through the purge valve.Open air vents to allow air to be purged inthe zones.5. Once the system is completely filled andpurged of all air and sediment, check thesystem pressure and check/repair anyleaks.WARNINGUnrepaired system leaks will cause continualmakeup water to be added to theboiler. Continual makeup water couldcause mineral buildup within the heatexchanger, reducing the heat transfer,causing possible heat buildup and eventualheat exchanger failure.Check Low Water Cut-Off Device- The PRESTIGE Solo is provided with afactory installed LWCO device that measuressystem pressure of more than 10 psi.- Remove the front jacket panel and check forcontinuity across the low water cut-offdevice wire terminals. The contacts shouldbe closed when system pressure is greaterthan 10 psi. See Item 5, on Fig. 27 page 66.38
