2. Turn plastic adjustment screw clockwise to increase gas input, or
turn plastic adjustment screw counterclockwise to decrease input
(See
). Manifold pressure must be between 3.2 and 3.8 IN.
WC.
3. Replace regulator cover screw on gas valve (See
).
4. Turn off gas supply to unit. Remove manometer from pressure tap
and replace pipe plug on gas valve. (See
.) Turn on gas to
unit and check for leaks.
Measure Manifold Pressure (Propane Units)
Refer to propane kit installation instructions for properly checking gas
input.
NOTE:
For installations below 2,000 ft (610 m), refer to the unit rating
plate for proper propane conversion kit. For installations above 2,000 ft
(610 m), contact your distributor for proper propane conversion kit.
Check Burner Flame
With control access panel (see
) removed, observe the unit
heating operation. Watch the burner flames to see if they are light blue
and soft in appearance, and that the flames are approximately the same
for each burner. Propane will have blue flame (See
). Refer to the
Maintenance section for information on burner removal.
WARNING
!
FIRE AND UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury or death
and/or property damage.
Unsafe operation of the unit may result if manifold pressure is outside
this range.

*. In the U.S.A., the input rating for altitudes above 2000 ft (610m) must be reduced by 4% for each 1000 ft (305 m) above sea level.
In Canada, the input rating for altitudes from 2001 to 4500 ft (611 to 1372 m) above sea level must be derated by 10% by an authorized gas conversion station or dealer.
For Canadian Installations from 2000 to 4500 ft (610-1372 m), use U.S.A. column 2001 to 3000 ft (611 to 914 m).
