Gas valve adjustment procedure

If adjustment of the gas valve is deemed necessary, use the
following procedures: (

Note:

The procedures below are

model specific.)

Models SNR150-100 -- SNA285-125

Locate the throttle adjustment screw on the side of the
venturi valve (FIG. 13-2). Using a screwdriver, turn the screw
a 1/4 turn

clockwise

to decrease CO

2

levels or a 1/4 turn

counterclockwise

to increase CO

2

levels. After performing

one adjustment on the valve, follow the Combustion Analysis
Procedure on page 72 of this manual to measure the
combustion.

If combustion is still not within the specified range, repeat
the procedure. This procedure SHOULD NOT be performed
more than four (4) times. If after four (4) adjustments and
the combustion is still not within the specified range, revisit
the possible causes in Table 13F on page 72 or replace the gas
valve.
