Operating Instructions,
Surburban Furnace (Manual Ignition):
Set the thermostat to the "OFF" position,
ur~latch the furnace door and open it. Turn the
manual gas valve on the lower exterior of trailer
below furnace to on (handle parallel with gas
line). Remove the lighter hole cover, depress
the reset button and hold it in. L~ght the pilot.
After the pilot is lit, keep the reset button
depressed for thirty seconds. Release the reset
button and the pilot should remain lit. If the pilot
goes out, repeat the above steps keeping the
reset button depressed for a longer period of
time. The pilot may not light immediately due to
the presence of air in the gas line. It may be
necessary to hold the reset button in for a
minute or more before the pilot ignites. Replace
the lighter hole cover as soon as the pilot
IS
lit,
close the front access door and set the
thermostat. If the furnace has just gone out,
turn the manual gas valve off and wait 5
minutes before attempting to relight the pilot.
D~fferences in pressure between the room air
and the outside air may cause a strong draft to
come through the heater once the lighter hole
cover is removed. Opening a window or the
ten~perature will have no effect on furnace
operation once the lighter hole cover has been
replaced.
Caution: The air shutter adjustment cover
must be tightly secured for proper operation of
the heater.
