TEST SOLUTION
- Check pressure readings:
- Inlet pressure can be checked by turning screw (A)
counter-clockwise 2 or 3 turns and then placing
pressure gauge tubing over the test point. Check
with burner operating on "HI". Gauge should read 7"
(minimum 4.5") water column for natural gas or 13"
(11" minimum) water column for propane.
- Outlet pressure can be checked the same as above
using screw (B). Check with burner operating on
"HI". Gauge should read 3.5" water column for
natural gas or 10" water column for propane.
- AFTER TAKING PRESSURE READINGS, BE
SURE TO TURN SCREWS CLOCKWISE FIRMLY
TO RESEAL. DO NOT OVER TORQUE.
- Leak test with a soap and water solution.
- Return air shutter to specifi ed opening, see
"VENTURI ADJUSTMENT" section.
