Checking Flame Rollout Switch
a. If no voltage is measured on either side of control it
indicates ignition control or wiring to control prob-
lem.
b. If voltage is measured on one side of the control and
not the other it indicates the control is open.
c. If voltage is measured on both sides of the control
the wiring to gas valve or valve is at fault.
3. After check and/or replacement of rollout switch, rein-
stall burner compartment door and verify proper unit op-
eration.

DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
1. Remove burner compartment door to gain access to
the induced draft blower motor.
2. Disconnect the motor wire leads from its connection
point at the induced draft motor.
3. Using a ohmmeter, test for continuity between each
of the motor leads.
4. Touch one probe of the ohmmeter to the motor frame
(ground) and the other probe in turn to each lead.
If the windings do not test continuous or a reading is
obtained to ground, replace the motor.
5. If the windings have a continuity reading, reconnect
wires. Turn power on to the furnace and turn the
thermostat on in the heating mode. Check voltage
for 115V at the induced draft motor terminals during
the trial for ignition. If you have 115V and the motor
does not run, replace the induced draft motor.
6. After completing check and/or replacement of in-
duced draft motor, reinstall burner compartment door.
7. Turn on electrical power and verify proper unit opera-
tion.

WARNING
S-304 CHECKING GAS VALVE (REDUNDANT)
A combination redundant operator type gas valve which pro-
vides all manual and automatic control functions required
for gas fired heating equipment is used.
The valve provides control of main burner gas flow, pressure
regulation, and 100 percent safety shut-off.

ISCONNECT POWER BEFORE SERVICING
Single stage gas valves should be tested on the furnace
with 24 VAC connected to the gas valve and manometers
reading supply line and manifold pressures.

CHECKING MAIN BURNERS

The main burners are used to provide complete combustion
of various fuels in a limited space, and transfer this heat of
the burning process to the heat exchanger.
Proper ignition, combustion, and extinction are primarily
due to burner design, orifice sizing, gas pressure, primary
and secondary air, vent and proper seating of burners.
Burners have been redesigned for 34.5" chassis furnaces.
Overall length and width dimensions remain the same as
40" model burners. The burners used 34.5" models have
burner head insert with larger diameter center hole and a
larger number of surrounding holes.

In checking main burners, look for signs of rust, oversized
and undersized carry over ports restricted with foreign ma-
terial, etc, refer to previous drawing. Burner cross-over slots
should not be altered in size.
