Please read the below text from the instruction sheet on the website: 1. To manually operate, press down on the vent stem. 2. For normal automatic venting, open cap one full turn for a slow release of air. A fast release of the air will allow dirt or scale to foul the vent mechanism. The small hole in the side of the cap allows air to escape. 3. To shutoff automatic air vent, screw cap down tight. SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS There is no service required for the automatic air vent. CAUTION: Uncontrolled venting of water can occur with the automatic air vent if dirt, scale, pipe compound or other foreign material fouls the operating mechanism. Keep vent cap closed during system filling to prevent dirt from running into vent mechanism. Failure to follow these instructions could result in property damage and/or moderate personal injury. CAUTION: Corrosion or leakage of vents can cause damage or injury. Periodically inspect the air vents for signs of leakage or corrosion. If noted, the vent must be replaced. Failure to follow these instructions could result in property damage and/or moderate personal injury.
The Vent should operate automatically. The indication that it is not working would be the symptoms of trapped air in a hydronic system such as noisy operation.
