If this unit is being installed in an application with

combustion air coming in from a space serviced by an

exhaust fan, power exhaust fan, or other device which

may create a negative pressure in the space, take care

when sizing the inlet air opening. The inlet air opening

must be sized to accommodate the maximum volume

of exhaust air as well as the maximum volume of

combustion air required for all gas appliances serviced

by this space.

Shipping Bolt Removal

Units with 1/2 hp & 3/4 hp blower motor are equipped

with three flexible legs and one rigid leg. The rigid leg

is equipped with a shipping bolt and a flat white plastic

washer (rather than the rubber mounting grommet used

with a flexible mounting leg). See Figure 11. The bolt and

washer must be removed before the furnace is placed into

operation. After the bolt and washer have been removed,

the rigid leg will not touch the blower housing.

Installation

Setting Equipment

Do not connect the return air ducts to the back of the

furnace. Doing so will adversely affect the operation of

the safety control devices, which could result in personal

injury or death.

WARNING

Blower access panel must be securely in place when

blower and burners are operating. Gas fumes, which

could contain carbon monoxide, can be drawn into

living space resulting in personal injury or death.

WARNING

Upflow Applications

The gas furnaces can be installed as shipped in the upflow

position. Refer to Figure 13 for clearances. Select a location

that allows for the required clearances that are listed on

the unit nameplate. Also consider gas supply connections,

electrical supply, vent connection, condensate trap and

drain connections, and installation and service clearances

[24 inches (610 mm) at unit front]. The unit must be level

from side to side. Tilt the unit slightly (maximum 1/2 in.

from level) from back to front to aid in the draining of the

heat exchanger. See Figure 12.

Allow for clearances to combustible materials as indicated

on the unit nameplate.
