TABLE OF CONTENTS
WRONG FUEL SHUT DOWN SYSTEM
This heater is equipped with a pressure activated dual circuit that will not allow the main burner to
ignite if the incorrect fuel is installed. Inlet gas pressures, listed on page 2 of this Owner's Manual,
must be correct for this system to work reliably. Excessive NG inlet gas pressure will activate the
"wrong fuel shut down system" and the heater will not light.
SERVICE HINTS
When Gas Pressure Is Too Low
• pilot will not stay lit
• burners will have delayed ignition
• heater will not produce specified heat
• for propane/LP units, propane/LP gas supply may be low
You may feel your gas pressure is too low. If so, contact your local natural or propane/LP gas supplier.
