IMPORTANT
If a highefficiency filter is being installed as part of
this system to ensure better indoor air quality, the fil
ter must be properly sized. Highefficiency filters
have a higher static pressure drop than standardef
ficiency glass/foam filters. If the pressure drop is too
great, system capacity and performance may be re
duced. The pressure drop may also cause the limit to
trip more frequently during the winter and the indoor
coil to freeze in the summer, resulting in an increase
in the number of service calls.
Before using any filter with this system, check the
specifications provided by the filter manufacturer
against the data given in the appropriate Lennox
Product Specifications bulletin. Additional informa
tion is provided in Service and Application Note
ACC002 (August 2000).
5- Check the condition and cleanliness of burners and
heat exchanger and clean if necessary.
6- Check the cleanliness of blower assembly and clean
the housing, blower wheel and blower motor if neces
sary
.
The blower motors are prelubricated for extended
bearing life. No further lubrication is needed.
7- Inspect the combustion air inducer and clean if neces
sary.
8- Evaluate the heat exchanger integrity by inspecting the
heat exchanger per the AHRI heat exchanger inspec
tion procedure. This procedure can be viewed at
www.ahrinet.org
9- Ensure sufficient combustion air is available to the fur
nace. Fresh air grilles and louvers (on the unit and in the
room where the furnace is installed) must be properly
sized, open and unobstructed to provide combustion
air
.
10 Inspect the furnace venting system to make sure it is in
place, structurally sound, and without holes, corrosion,
or blockage. Vent system must be free and clear of ob
structions and must slope upward away from the fur
nace
.
Vent system should be installed per the National
Fuel Gas Code
11 Inspect the furnace return air duct connection to ensure
the duct is sealed to the furnace. Check for air leaks on
supply and return ducts and seal where necessary
.
12 Check the condition of the furnace cabinet insulation
and repair if necessary.
13 Perform a complete combustion analysis during the fur
nace inspection to ensure proper combustion and oper
ation. Consult Service Literature for proper combustion
values.
14 Verify operation of CO detectors and replace batteries
as required.
Perform a general system test. Turn on the furnace to
check operating functions such as the start-up and shut-off
operation.
1 - Check the operation of the ignition system, inspect
and clean flame sensor. Check microamps before and
after. Check controls and safety devices (gas valve,
flame sensor, temperature limits). Consult Service
Manual for proper operating range. Thermal Limits
should be checked by restricting airflow and not dis
connecting the indoor blower. For additional details,
please see Service and Application Note H049.
2 - Verify that system total static pressure and airflow set
tings are within specific operating parameters.
3 - Clock gas meter to ensure that the unit is operating at
the specified firing rate. Check the supply pressure
and the manifold pressure. On two-stage gas furnaces
check the manifold pressure on high fire and low fire. If
manifold pressure adjustment is necessary, consult
the Service Literature for unit specific information on
adjusting gas pressure. Not all gas valves are ad
justable
.
Verify correct temperature rise.
Cleaning the Heat Exchanger and Burners
NOTE - Use papers or protective covering in front of the fur
nace during cleaning.
1 - Turn off both electrical and gas power supplies to fur
nace.
2 - Remove flue pipe, top cap, flue chase and internal flue
pipe assembly from the unit.
3 - Label the wires from gas valve, rollout switches, prima
ry limit switch and make-up box then disconnect them.
4 - Remove the screws that secure the combustion air in
ducer/pressure switch assembly to the collector box.
Carefully remove the combustion air inducer to avoid
damaging blower gasket. If gasket is damaged, it must
be replaced to prevent leakage.
5 - Remove the collector box located behind the combus
tion air inducer. Be careful with the collector box gas
ket. If the gasket is damaged, it must be replaced to
prevent leakage.
6 - Disconnect gas supply piping. Remove the four screws
securing the burner manifold assembly to the vestibule
panel and remove the assembly from the unit.
7 - Remove screws from both sides, top and bottom of
vestibule panel.
8 - Remove heat exchanger. It may be necessary to
spread cabinet side to allow more room. If so, remove
five screws from the left side or right side of cabinet.
See figure 25.
9- Back wash using steam. Begin from the burner opening
on each clam. Steam must not exceed 275°F.
10- To clean burners, run a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush
attachment over the face of burners. Visually inspect in
side the burners and crossovers for any blockage
caused by foreign matter. Remove any blockage. Figure
24 shows burner detail.
