START−UP, ADJUSTMENT, AND SAFETY
CHECK
NOTICE
IMPORTANT INSTALLATION
PROCEDURES
Failure to follow this procedure may result in a nuisance
smoke or odor complaint.
The manifold pressure, gas rate by meter clocking,
temperature rise and operation must be checked after
installation. Minor smoke and odor may be present
temporarily after start−up from the manufacturing process.
Some occupants are more sensitive to this minor smoke and
odor. It is recommended that doors and windows be open
during the first heat cycle.

General

1. Furnace must have a 115-v power supply properly
connected and grounded.
NOTE: Proper polarity must be maintained for 115-v wiring.
Control status indicator light flashes rapidly and furnace
does not operate if polarity is incorrect or if the furnace is not
grounded.
2. Thermostat wire connections at terminals R, W, G,
and Y must be made at 24-v terminal block on
furnace control.
3. Natural gas service pressure must not exceed 0.5
psig (14- in. w.c., 1125 Pa), but must be no less than
0.16 psig (4.5-in. w.c., 350 Pa).
4. Blower door must be in place to complete 115-v elec-
trical circuit and supply power to the furnace
components.

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.
1. Remove upper and middle collector box drain plugs
opposite of the condensate trap. (See Figure 10.)
2. Connect field-supplied 5/8-in. (16 mm) ID tube with at-
tached funnel (see Figure 10) 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.
WARNING
!
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
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.

Adjustments

WARNING
!
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.
