Start Up - Lennox SLP99UHV Series Unit Information

IV-START-UP
A-Preliminary and Seasonal Checks
1 - Inspect electrical wiring, both field and factory
installed for loose connections. Tighten as required.
2 - Check voltage at disconnect switch. Voltage must
be within range listed on the nameplate. If not,
consult the power company and have voltage
condition corrected before starting unit.
B-Heating Start-Up
FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE OPERATING
WARNING
Do not use this furnace if any part has been underwater.
A flood-damaged furnace is extremely dangerous.
Attempts to use the furnace can result in fire or explosion.
Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect
the furnace and to replace all gas controls, control
system parts, and electrical parts that have been wet or
to replace the furnace, if deemed necessary.
WARNING
Danger of explosion. Can cause injury or product or
property damage. Should the gas supply fail to shut off
or if overheating occurs, shut off the gas valve to the
furnace before shutting off the electrical supply.
CAUTION
Before attempting to perform any service or maintenance,
turn the electrical power to unit OFF at disconnect switch.
Priming Condensate Trap
The condensate trap should be primed with water prior
to start-up to ensure proper condensate drainage. Either
pour 10 fl. oz. (300 ml) of water into the trap, or follow
these steps to prime the trap:
1 - Follow the lighting instructions to place the unit into
operation.
2 - Set the thermostat to initiate a heating demand.
3 - Allow the burners to fire for approximately 3 minutes.
4 - Adjust the thermostat to deactivate the heating
demand.
5 - Wait for the combustion air inducer to stop. Set the
thermostat to initiate a heating demand and again
allow the burners to fire for approximately 3 minutes.
6 - Adjust the thermostat to deactivate the heating
demand and again wait for the combustion air
inducer to stop. At this point, the trap should be
primed with sufficient water to ensure proper
condensate drain operation.
BEFORE PLACING THE UNIT INTO OPERATION, the
unit, smell all around the furnace area for gas. Be sure to
smell next to the floor because some gas is heavier than
air and will settle on the floor.
The gas valve on the SLP99UHV is equipped with a gas
control switch. Use only your hand to move the control
switch. Never use tools. If the switch will not move by
hand, do not try to repair it. Force or attempted repair may
result in a fire or explosion.
Placing the furnace into operation:
SLP99UHV units are equipped with an automatic ignition
system. Do not attempt to manually light burners on this
furnace. Each time the thermostat calls for heat, the burn-
ers will automatically light. The ignitor does not get hot
when there is no call for heat on units with this ignition
system.
If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire or
explosion may result causing property damage, personal
injury or death.
Gas Valve Operation (FIGURE 48)
1 - STOP! Read the safety information at the beginning
of this section.
2 - Set the thermostat to the lowest setting.
3 - Turn off all electrical power to the unit.
4 - This furnace is equipped with an ignition device
which automatically lights the burners. Do not try to
light the burners by hand.
5 - Remove the upper access panel.
6 - Move the gas valve switch to the OFF position. See
FIGURE 48.
7 - Wait five minutes to clear out any gas. If you then
smell gas, STOP! Immediately call your gas supplier
from a neighbor's phone. Follow the gas supplier's
instructions. If you do not smell gas go to next step.
