10. Next, verify that the gas pressure downstream of the SSOV is within the appropriate range
shown below for the Innovation Model being tested. If gas pressure adjustment is required,
remove the brass hex nut on the SSOV actuator to access the gas pressure adjustment
screw (Figure 4-4). Make gas pressure adjustments using a flat-tip screwdriver to obtain a
gas pressure reading within the required range for the INN model being tested.

11.
Next, decrease the valve open position to 16% using the ▼ arrow key. Verify that the gas
pressure at the inlet of the SSOV is 11.0” W.C. Readjust the inlet gas pressure if
necessary.
12. Insert the combustion analyzer probe into the 1/8” port at the rear of the exhaust manifold.
Allow enough time for the combustion analyzer to settle.
13. Verify that the oxygen (O
2
)
level is within the range
shown below.
Also, ensure that the
carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxide (NOx) and flame strength readings are within the
values shown.

14. If the oxygen level is not within the required tolerance, the gas pressure on the downstream
side of the SSOV must be adjusted using the adjustment screw on the SSOV regulator
(Figure 4-4). Slowly rotate the gas pressure adjustment (approximately 1/4-turn
increments). Allow the combustion analyzer to stabilize following each adjustment.
Clockwise rotation reduces the oxygen level, while counterclockwise rotation increases the
oxygen level.
15. Once the oxygen level is within the required range listed in step 13, the gas pressure on the
downstream side of the SSOV should be within the appropriate range shown below for the
Innovation Model being tested.

16. Replace the brass cap on the SSOV gas pressure adjustment if it was previously removed.
