any processing residues. Considering the high risk deriving from incorrect chemical treatments, the operations must be
carried out by
professionally qualified personnel
.
–
Before start-up, open the door and insert the turbulators completely inside the front ends of the smoke pipes, taking
care to push them inside by at least 100 mm.
–
Check that all connections are fully tightened
–
Check that the feed water pipe is clean, repeatedly washing it before final filling
–
Close the drain valve, steam inlet and level indicator discharge

On the boilers equipped with manhole, during the first start-up, it is essential to progressively tighten the two nuts (1) of
the hatch while pressure increases. Otherwise, the installation area may become dangerous for the operators in charge,
due to steam seeping through and deteriorating gasket (2) rapidly.
–
