Bleeding rayburn 480k

Bert Halligan

Hi,

We have a rayburn 480k in our house and we ran out of oil last week. Now that we have refilled the tank we want to bleed the boiler so it will work again. I thought to do this we removed the pressure gauge connection and let the boiler run, hitting the reset button until oil started to come through. This does not seem to be working though after many attempts of hitting the reset button. Am I doing something wrong or do we have another problem.

I would greatly appreciate if someone could shed some light on this.
Thanks a million.

You say you have opened the pressure gauge connection, how do you know what you have opened ?

Friends of mine who lived in the house before me showed me how to do it and I have done it before and it seemed to work fine.

On the bottom of page 20 (22 of the pdf) of this manual it refers to the bit I am opening as the pressure gauge port.

Every time I run the boiler it runs for a short period of time, then cuts out and I have to wait a minute and then hit the reset button.
