11. Turn gas supply manual shutoff valve to OFF
position.
12. Turn off furnace power supply.
13. Remove manometer from the inlet pressure tap of the
gas valve.
WARNING
!
FIRE HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal
injury, death, and/or property damage.
Re−install manifold pressure tap plug in gas valve to
prevent gas leak.
14. Apply pipe dope sparingly to end of inlet gas pipe
plug and re−install in the gas valve.

Adjust Manifold Pressure

1. Adjust manifold pressure to obtain proper gas input
rate. (See Figure 3.)
a. Turn gas valve ON/OFF switch to OFF.
b. Remove manifold pressure tap plug from gas valve.
c. Connect a water column manometer or similar
device to manifold pressure tap.
d. Turn gas valve ON/OFF switch to ON.
e. Manually close blower door switch.
f. Jumper R and W thermostat connections on control
to start furnace. (See Figure 2.)
g. Remove regulator adjustment cap from gas valve
pressure regulator (See Figure 3.) and turn adjusting
screw (3/16 or smaller flat−tipped screwdriver)
counterclockwise (out) to decrease input rate or
clockwise (in) to increase input rate.
NOTICE
DO NOT set low−heat manifold pressure less than 2.8−in.
w.c. (697 Pa) or more than 3.8−in. w.c. (947 Pa) for natural
gas. If required manifold pressure is outside this range,
change main burner orifices.
h. When correct input is obtained, replace cap that
conceals gas valve regulator adjustment screws.
Main burner flame should be clear blue, almost
transparent (See Figure 12.)

i. Remove jumper R to W.
j. Reinstall manifold pressure tap plug from gas valve.
2. Verify natural gas input rate by clocking meter.
NOTE: Contact your HVAC distributor or gas supplier for
metric gas meter Tables, if required.
a. Turn off all other gas appliances and pilots served by
b. Jumper R to W.
c. Run furnace for 3 minutes.
d. Measure time (in sec) for gas meter to complete 1
e. Refer to Table 3 for cubic ft. of gas per hr.
f. Multiply gas rate cu ft./hr by heating value (Btuh/cu
g. If clocked rate does not match required input from
3. Restore furnace to normal operating condition.
a. Turn gas valve ON/OFF switch to OFF.
b. Remove water column manometer or similar
c. Replace manifold pressure tap plug to gas valve.
d. Turn gas valve ON/OFF switch to ON.
e. Check for gas leaks and verify furnace operation
