035-17405-000 Rev. B (0801) START-UP AND ADJUSTMENTS The initial start-up of the furnace requires the following addi- tional procedures. When the gas supply is initially connected to the furnace, the gas piping may be full of air. In order to purge this air, it is recommended that the ground joint union be loos- ened until the odor of gas is detected.
