Startup Instructions
1.
Introduction
Only qualified personnel should conduct the startup procedures for an oven. Qualified personnel include trained maintenance personnel or electricians. Operators, unless they have been specially trained, do not qualify to startup the oven. Only qualified personnel should enter the control cabinet due to the high voltage inside. These startup procedures should be followed carefully in order to assure proper installation. Startup supervision services are available from Col-Met Spray Booths, Inc.

Checklist for Beginning Startup
A successful startup is dependent upon a proper installation of the oven. A list of conditions should be checked prior to beginning the startup sequence.
1. Electric Service – Make sure that the proper three-phase power is connected to the oven.
2. Exhaust Stack – Make sure that the exhaust stack is attached to the oven. The airflow should not be obstructed.
3. Guards – Make sure that all the guards are secured properly. All moving parts should be protected from exposure in order to prevent possible injury to personnel.
4. Gas Service – Ensure that the proper gas pressure and volume are supplied to the oven. As stated in Chapter 3, the inlet gas supply pressure is 5 PSI.

Gas Valves Open – Verify that all manual gas valves are open.
6. High/Low Gas Pressure Reset – Reset the high and low switches on the High/Low Gas Pressure Switches.
