Prime Condensate Trap with Water
!
WARNING
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
Failure to follow these warnings could result in personal injury
or death.
Failure to use a properly configured trap or NOT
water-priming trap before operating furnace may allow
positive pressure vent gases to enter the structure through
drain tube. Vent gases contain carbon monoxide which is
tasteless and odorless.
UNIT OPERATION HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in intermittent unit
operation or performance satisfaction.
Condensate trap must be PRIMED or proper draining may
not occur. The condensate trap has two internal chambers
which can ONLY be primed by pouring water into the
inducer drain side of condensate trap.
CAUTION
!
1. Remove upper and middle collector box drain plugs
opposite of the condensate trap. (See
Figure 1
)
2. Connect field-supplied 5/8-in. (16 mm) ID tube with
attached funnel (see
Figure 1
) to upper collector box
drain connection.
3. Pour one quart (liter) of water into funnel/tube. Water
should run through collector box, overfill condensate
trap, and flow into open field drain.
4. Remove funnel; replace collector box drain plug.
5. Connect field-supplied 5/8-in. (16 mm) ID tube to middle
collector box drain port.
6. Pour one quart (liter) of water into funnel/tube. Water
should run through collector box, overfill condensate
trap, and flow into open field drain.
7. Remove funnel and tube from collector box and replace
collector box drain plug.

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
Figure 2
)

ORIFICE
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.
