INITIAL START
Safe lighting and other performance criteria were met when
testing various gas manifold and control assemblies used
on the Galaxy Series boilers under the ANSI Z21.13b-1994
or CSA B149.1-00 for natural gas and propane.
INSTRUCTIONS
Follow the lighting instructions in this manual that apply to the par-
ticular ignition system equipped on this boiler. (Also, see figures on
