8.6 Seasonal Shut Down & Start Up
EnergyLogic strongly recommends that you remove power from the preheater when the boiler
will not be in use for two weeks or longer. Leaving the preheater on for prolonged periods
without fuel flow through it will cause fuel carbonization and sludge to form. A preheater in
such a state will not adequately preheat the oil.
Shut Down Procedure (refer to figure):
1. Turn power off to the boiler at the breaker in the building service panel or unplug the
burner at the vessel wiring box.
2. Close the preheater valve
—rotate clockwise.
3. Disconnect the fuel line at the preheater inlet.
4. Open the preheater valve and drain the oil from the preheater.
5. Perform annual maintenance. Refer to maintenance log.
6. Leave the boiler door open slightly.
Start Up Procedure:
1. Inspect the flue wind cap for obstructions such as bird nests or leaves.
2. Perform annual maintenance tasks if not yet completed. Refer to maintenance log.
3. Make sure that the used oil storage tank has enough oil.
4. Turn power on to the boiler at the breaker or plug the burner in at the vessel wiring box.
5. Refer back to Section 7.4.1 to re-prime the fuel system.
6. Make sure everything is in place, and start the boiler (Section 7.4.2).
7. Perform system checks (Section 7.4.3), and review section 7.4.4 for operation.
8.
Recheck the systems (Section 7.4.3) to make sure the boiler is operating
properly.
