HITE ODGERS
This valve is shipped from the factory with the regulator preset (see
control label).
Consult the appliance rating plate to ensure burner manifold pres-
sure is as specified. If another outlet pressure is required, follow
these steps.
1. Turn OFF all electrical power to the system.
2. Using a 3/32 inch hex wrench, loosen outlet pressure tap
screw one turn. Do not remove screw.
3. Connect a calibrated water manometer and 5/16 inch hose
to the gas valve outlet pressure tap. Hose should overlap
tap by 3/8 inch.
4. Turn ON system power and set thermostat to a call for heat.
5. Using a leak detection solution or non-chlorine soap suds,
check for leaks at hose connection. Bubbles forming
indicate a leak. SHUT OFF GAS AND FIX ALL LEAKS
IMMEDIATELY!
6. Remove regulator screw cover. Turn regulator screw either
clockwise to increase pressure or counterclockwise to
decrease. Always adjust regulator to provide the correct
pressure according to the original equipment manufacturer
specifications listed on the appliance rating plate.
7. Replace regulator screw cover and finger-tighten securely.
8. Turn OFF all electrical power to the system.
9. Remove manometer and hose from outlet pressure tap.
10. Tighten outlet pressure tap clockwise 7 in-lbs minimum to
seal port.
11. Turn ON system power and set thermostat to call for heat.
12. Using a leak detection solution or non-chlorine soap suds,
check for leaks at hose connection. Bubbles forming
indicate a leak. SHUT OFF GAS AND FIX ALL LEAKS
IMMEDIATELY!
Measure gas manifold pressure with burners firing. Adjust mani-
fold pressure per the Manifold Gas Pressure table.
Any necessary major changes in gas flow rate should be made by
changing the size of the burner orifice.

AS NPUT ATE EASUREMENT
The gas input rate to the furnace must never be greater than that
specified on the unit rating plate. To measure natural gas input
using the gas meter, use the following procedure.
1. Turn OFF the gas supply to all other gas-burning appliances
except the furnace.
2. While the furnace is operating, time and record one
complete revolution of the smallest gas meter dial.
3. Calculate the number of seconds per cubic foot (sec/ft
gas being delivered to the furnace. If the dial is a one cubic
foot dial, divide the number of seconds recorded in step 2
by one. If the dial is a two cubic foot dial, divide the number
of seconds recorded in step 2 by two.
4. Calculate the furnace input in BTUs per hour (BTU/hr). Input
equals the installation's gas heating value multiplied with
a conversion factor (hours to seconds) divided by the
number of seconds per cubic foot. The measured input
must not be greater than the input indicated on the unit
rating plate.
EXAMPLE:
Installation's gas heating (HTG) value: 1,000 BTU/ft
(Obtained from gas supplier)
Installation's seconds per cubic foot: 34 sec/ ft

Conversion Factor (hours to seconds): 3600 sec/hr
Input = (Htg. value x 3600) ÷ seconds per cubic foot
Input = (1,000 BTU/ft
Input = 106,000 BTU/hr
Minor changes to the input rate may be accomplished through
manifold pressure adjustments at the gas valve. Refer to Section
XIV, Startup Procedure and Adjustment - Gas Manifold Pressure
Measurement and Adjustment for details. NOTE: The final mani-
fold pressure cannot vary by more than ± 0.3" w.c. from the speci-
fied setting. Consult your local gas supplier if additional input rate
adjustment is required.
5. Turn ON gas to and relight all other appliances turned off in
step 1. Be certain that all appliances are functioning properly
and that all pilot burners are operating.

EMPERATURE
Temperature rise must be within the range specified on the unit
rating plate. An incorrect temperature rise may result in condens-
ing in or overheating of the heat exchanger. An airflow and tem-
perature rise table is provided in the Product Data Book applicable
to your model*. Determine and adjust temperature rise as follows:
1. Operate furnace with burners firing for approximately ten
minutes. Ensure all registers are open and all duct
dampers are in their final (fully or partially open) position.
2. Place thermometers in the return and supply ducts as close
to the furnace as possible. Thermometers must not be
influenced by radiant heat by being able to "see" the heat
exchanger.

)
3. Subtract the return air temperature from the supply air
temperature to determine the air temperature rise. Allow
adequate time for thermometer readings to stabilize.
4. Adjust temperature rise by adjusting the circulator blower
speed. Increase blower speed to reduce temperature rise.
Decrease blower speed to increase temperature rise. Refer
