sPecial Precautions / table of contents

IMPORTANT

1.  To prevent premature heat exchanger failure, do not locate 

ANY gas-fired appliances in areas where corrosive vapors 

(i.e. chlorinated, halogenated or acid) are present in the 

atmosphere.

2.  To prevent premature heat exchanger failure, observe heat 

exchanger tubes by looking at the heat exchanger through 

field installed access openings in connecting ductwork. If 

the bottom of the tubes become red while blower and duct 

furnace are in operation, additional baffles must be inserted 

between blower and duct furnace to assure uniform air flow 

across the heat exchanger.

3. To prevent premature heat exchanger failure, the input to the 

appliance, as indicated on the serial plate, must not exceed 

the rated input by more than 5%.

4.  To prevent premature heat exchanger failure, with all control 

systems, a blower starting mechanism must be provided so 

that the blower is running or energized within 45 seconds of 

the gas control operation.

5.  Start-up and adjustment procedures should be performed 

 by a qualified service agency.

6.  To check most of the Possible Remedies in the 

troubleshooting guide listed in Table 20.1, refer to the 

applicable sections of the manual.

 

cAUTION

1.  Appliances are designed for outdoor installation only. DO 

NOT LOCATE APPLIANCES INDOORS.

2.  Purging of air from gas supply line should be performed 

as described in ANSI Z223.1 - latest edition “National Fuel 

Gas Code”, or in Canada in CAN/CGA-B149 codes.

3.  Do not reuse any mechanical or electrical component which 

has been wet. Such component must be replaced.

 

dANGER

Appliances must not be installed where they may be exposed 

to a potentially explosive or flammable atmosphere.

 

WARNING

1.  All field gas piping must be pressure/leak tested prior to 

operation. Never use an open flame. Use a soap solution or 

equivalent for testing.

2.  Gas pressure to appliance controls must never exceed 14" 

W.C. (1/2 psi).

3.     To reduce the opportunity for condensation, the minimum sea 

level input to the appliance, as indicated on the serial plate, 

must not be less than 5% below the rated input, or 5% below 

the minimum rated input of dual rated units.

4.  Disconnect power supply before making wiring 

connections to prevent electrical shock and equipment 

damage.

5.  All appliances must be wired strictly in accordance with 

wiring diagram furnished with the appliance. Any wiring 

different from the wiring diagram could result in a hazard to 

persons and property.

6.  Any original factory wiring that requires replacement must 

be replaced with wiring material having a temperature 

rating of at least 105°C.

7.    Ensure that the supply voltage to the appliance, as indicated 

on the serial plate, is not 5% greater than rated voltage.

8.  When servicing or repairing this equipment, use only 

factory-approved service replacement parts. A complete 

replacement parts list may be obtained by contacting 

Modine Manufacturing Company. Refer to the rating plate 

on the appliance for complete appliance model number, 

serial number, and company address. Any substitution of 

parts or controls not approved by the factory will be at the 

owner's risk.
