V- SYSTEMS SERVICE CHECKS
WARNING
Electric shock hazard. Can cause injury
or death. Before attempting to perform
any service or maintenance, turn the
electrical
disconnect switch(es). Unit may have
multiple power supplies.
A-Heating System Service Checks
All LGM units are ETL/CSA design certified without modifi­
cation.
Before checking piping, check with gas company or author­
ities having jurisdiction for local code requirements. Refer
to the LGM installation instruction for more information.
1-Gas Piping
Gas supply piping must not allow more than 0.5"W.C.
(124.3 Pa) drop in pressure between the gas meter and the
unit. Supply gas pipe must not be smaller than the unit gas
connection. Refer to installation instructions for details.
2-Testing Gas Piping
NOTE-In case emergency shutdown is required, turn off
the main manual shut‐off valve and disconnect the main
power to the unit. These controls should be properly la­
beled by the installer.
When pressure testing gas lines, the gas valve must be dis­
connected and isolated. Gas valves can be damaged if
subjected to more than 0.5 psig [14"W.C. (3481 Pa)].
See figure 30.

When checking piping connection for gas leaks, use the
preferred means. Common kitchen detergents can cause
harmful corrosion on various metals used in gas piping.
The use of specialty Gas Leak Detector is strongly recom­
mended.
Do not use matches, candles, flame or any other
source of ignition to check for gas leaks.

3-Testing Gas Supply Pressure
When testing gas supply pressure, connect test gauge to
the inlet pressure tap located on unit gas valve GV1 and or
GV3. Test supply gas pressure with unit firing at maximum
rate (both stages energized). Make sure the reading falls
within the range of the following values. Low pressure may
result in erratic operation or "underfire." High pressure can
result in permanent damage to the gas valve or "overfire."
For natural gas units, operating pressure at the unit gas
connection must be between 4.7"W.C. and 10.5"W.C.
(1168 Pa and 2610 Pa). For L.P. gas units, operating pres­
sure at the unit gas connection must be between 10.8"W.C.
and 13.5"W.C. (2685.3 Pa and 3356.7 Pa).
On multiple unit installations, each unit should be checked
separately while operating at maximum rate, beginning
with the one closest to the supply gas main and progressing
to the one furthest from the main. Multiple units should also
be tested with and without the other units operating. Supply
pressure must fall within the range listed in the previous
paragraph.
4-Check and Adjust Manifold Pressure
After line pressure has been checked and adjusted, check
manifold pressure. Move test gauge to the outlet pressure
tap located on unit gas valve GV1 and or GV3. See figure
29 for location of pressure tap on the gas valve.
The manifold pressure is factory set and should not require
adjustment. If manifold pressure is incorrect and no other
source of improper manifold pressure can be found, the
valve must be replaced. See figure 29 for location of gas
valve (manifold pressure) adjustment screw.
All gas valves are factory regulated. The gas valve should
completely and immediately cycle off in the event of gas or
power failure. The manual shut‐off knob can be used to im­
mediately shut off gas supply.
For safety, connect a shut‐off valve between the ma­
nometer and the gas tap to permit shut off of gas
pressure to the manometer.
