Gas Heat Start-Up

TYPICAL GAS TRAIN  

The gas heat has been fully tested and commissioned at 
the factory prior to shipment.  Adjustment should not be 
necessary.

Combustion Gas Blower Rotation

1.  With the main gas valve and firing valve closed, turn on the 

disconnect.

2.  Depress the combustion gas blower  contactor manually 

momentarily to “bump” the fan.  Check combustion gas 

blower fan rotation either by watching the blower rotation 

or holding a piece of paper to the blower inlet and seeing 

if the paper is drawn in.  If the blower is not rotating in the 

correct direction, reverse any two leads on the load side 

the blower contactor.

Gas Burner Start-Up 

Once the electrical power and fan rotation have been 
confirmed, the gas heat can be commissioned as follows:
3.  Confirm that all access section doors are closed so the 

correct air flow is passing over the heat exchanger. 

4.  Check that the gas pressure at the inlet matches that 

listed on the rating plate.  If it does not, do not continue 

with the commissioning.  Correct the gas pressure.

5.  With the main gas shutoff valve and firing valve closed, 

turn on the disconnect.

6.  Reset the primary flame safeguard by pushing the reset 

button.

7.  Select “on” for the system switch and “summer mode” on 

unit changeover switch. This will allow the fan to operate 

but not the gas heat.

8.  Open the main gas shut-off valve while keeping the firing 

valve closed. This will allow gas to flow to the pilot valve 

but not the main burner.

9.  Select “winter mode” on the unit changeover switch. This 

will enable the gas heat.

10.  Adjust the thermostat or other controller to call for heat. 

11.   After a pre-purge period, the pilot will light but the main 

burner will not. Note, if the gas line has not been properly 

purged, the unit may go off on a safety due to no gas 

sensed at the pilot.  Reset the flame safety and try again.  

Depending on the length of field piping, this may take 

several attempts.

FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD

Failure to follow safety warning exactly could result in 
serious injury, death or property damage.

Be sure to read and understand the installation, operation 
and service instructions in this manual.

Improper installation, adjustment alteration, service or 
maintenance can cause serious injury, death or property 
damage.

•  Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors 

and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS

•  Do not try and light any appliance.

•  Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any 

phone in your building.

•  Leave building immediately.

•  Immediately call your gas supplier from a phone 

remote from the building.  Follow the gas supplier’s 
instructions.

•  If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire 

department.

•  Installation and service must be performed by a 

qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier.
