Purge Gas Lines
If not previously done, purge the lines after all connections have
been made and check for leaks.
FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal
injury, death, and/or property damage.
Never purge a gas line into a combustion chamber. Never
test for gas leaks with an open flame. Use a commercially
available soap solution made specifically for the detection
of leaks to check all connections. A fire or explosion may
result causing property damage, personal injury or loss of
life.

WARNING
Adjustments
FIRE HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal
injury, death and/or property damage.
DO NOT bottom out gas valve regulator adjusting screw.
This can result in unregulated manifold pressure and result
in excess overfire and heat exchanger failures.
!
WARNING
FURNACE DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in reduced furnace
life.
DO NOT redrill orifices. Improper drilling (burrs,
out--of--round holes, etc.) can cause excessive burner noise
and misdirection of burner flames. This can result in flame
impingement of heat exchangers, causing failures. See Fig.
60.
CAUTION
!
For proper operation and long term reliability, the Furnace input
rate must be /--2 percent of input rate on furnace rating
plate, or as adjusted for altitude.
The gas input rate on rating plate is for installations at altitudes up
to 2000 ft. (609.6M).

The NATURAL GAS manifold pressure adjustments in Table
21 compensate for BOTH altitude AND gas heating value.
DO NOT apply an additional de--rate factor to the pressures
show in Table 21. The values in this table are NOT referenced
to sea level; they are AS--MEASURED AT ALTITUDE.
The heating content of natural gas at altitude may already
provide for a reduction in capacity of the furnace. Be sure to
obtain the expected in--season gas heating value of the gas
from the gas supplier BEFORE making any adjustments for
capacity or altitude. Refer to Table 21. No adjustments to the
furnace may be necessary at altitude for certain gas heating
values.
Refer to the instructions provided in the factory--specified
LP/Propane conversion kit for instructions for setting gas
manifold pressures for LP/Propane applications.
NOTICE
In the USA., the input rating for altitudes above 2000 ft. (609.6M)
must be reduced by 2 percent for each 1000 ft. (304.8M) above sea
level. Refer to Table 21. The natural gas manifold pressures in
Table 19 adjust for BOTH altitude and natural gas heating value.
In Canada, the input rating must be reduced by 5 percent for
altitudes of 2000 ft. (609.6M) to 4500 ft. (1371.6M) above sea
level. The natural gas manifold pressures in Table 21 adjust for
BOTH altitude and natural gas heating value.
NOTE
: For Canadian altitudes of 2000 to 4500 ft. (610 to 1372
M), use USA altitudes of 2001 to 2000 ft. (611 to 914 M) in Table
21.
To adjust manifold pressure to obtain the proper input rate, first,
determine if the furnace has the correct orifice installed. At higher
altitudes or different gas heat contents, it may be necessary to
change the factory orifice to a different orifice. Tables have been
provided in the furnace installation instructions to match the
required orifice to the manifold pressure to the heat content and
specific gravity of the gas. To do this:
1. Obtain average yearly gas heat value (at installed altitude)
from local gas supplier.
