INSTALLATION 

This Furnace must be installed in accordance with these instructions and all National or Local Codes and CSA 
standards Z240.4 and Z240.6.1 or Z240,6.2 
The Furnace must be installed with the combustion air box (B) and exhaust tube (C) through an outside wall. 
 
The Furnace should be as near to the center of the vehicle as possible. 
1.  Provide a 11 1/4" High x 8 3/8" Wide Cabinet opening and 2 7/16" High x 4 15/16" Wide outside wall opening as 

shown in Fig. 3. 

2.  On side discharge (ducted models), remove left side knock-out plate and install two duct adapters. 
3.  Slide Furnace into cabinet opening. On side ducted Models Slide 4" D1A. Ducts over the adapters and seal with 

duct tape. 

4.  Gas Piping: Connect Gas supply line with a capacity to provide 11" W.C. Pressure to the gas control inlet fitting 

(3/4" minimum 0.0. tubing must be used) do not twist gas valve during piping. 

5.  Be sure that the Entire gas system is tight, properly supported and free of leaks. Do not fire any appliance until the 

entire system is fully checked out. Use a soap and water solution to detect gas leaks, never a lighted match or 
flame. 

NOTE

:  If local codes require an external gas "Shut off Valve", it must be located outside the furnace casing. 

6.  Electrical Wiring: With the Junction box cover removed route battery or 12V.D.C. and termostat leads through 

opening on the right side of furnace casing and connect to furnace wiring.
