NOTE: The 1/2 hp blower motor used in this unit is equipped
with three flexible legs and one rigid leg. The rigid leg is
equipped with a shipping bolt and a flat white plastic washer
(rather than the rubber mounting grommet used with a flexible
mounting leg). The bolt and washer must be removed
before the furnace is placed into operation. After the
bolt and washer have been removed, the rigid leg will not
touch the blower housing.
Allow for clearances to combustible materials as indicated
on the unit nameplate. Minimum clearances for closet or
alcove installations are shown in Figure 7.
WARNING
Blower access panel must be securely in place when
blower and burners are operating. Gas fumes, which
could contain carbon monoxide, can be drawn into living
space resulting in personal injury or death.
WARNING
Improper installation of the furnace can result in personal
injury or death. Combustion and flue products must
never be allowed to enter the return air system or air in
the living space. Use sheet metal screws and joint tape
to seal return air system to furnace.
In platform installations with furnace return, the furnace
should be sealed airtight to the return air plenum. A
door must never be used as a portion of the return air
duct system. The base must provide a stable support
and an airtight seal to the furnace. Allow absolutely no
sagging, cracks, gaps, etc.
For no reason should return and supply air duct systems
ever be connected to or from other heating devices such
as a fireplace or stove, etc. Fire, explosion, carbon
monoxide poisoning, personal injury and/or property
damage could result.
