F- Proper Gas Flow (Approximate)
Furnace should operate at least 5 minutes before check
ing gas flow. Determine time in seconds for
two
revolu
tions of gas through the meter. (Two revolutions assures a
more accurate time.)
Divide by two
and compare to time
in table 12 below. If manifold pressure matches table 12
and rate is incorrect, check gas orifices for proper size and
restriction.
NOTE- To obtain accurate reading, shut off all other gas
appliances connected to meter.

IMPORTANT
For safety, shut unit off and remove manometer as
soon as an accurate reading has been obtained.
Take care to replace pressure tap plug.
G- Proper Combustion
Furnace should operate minimum 15 minutes with correct
manifold pressure and gas flow rate before checking com
bustion. See sections E- and F-. Take combustion sample
beyond the flue outlet and compare to the table below. The
maximum carbon monoxide reading should not exceed
100 ppm.

H-High Altitude
The manifold pressure, gas orifice and pressure switch
may require adjustment or replacement to ensure proper
operation at higher altitudes. See table 14 for manifold
pressures and table 15 for pressure switch kits and gas
conversion kits.
