WARNING
!
FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury, death,
and/or property damage.
Never purge a gas line into a combustion chamber. Never test for gas
leaks with an open flame. Use a commercially available soap solution
made specifically for the detection of leaks to check all connections. A
fire or explosion may result causing property damage, personal injury
or loss of life.
Secondary Heat Exchangers
The condensing side (inside) of the secondary heat exchanger CANNOT
be serviced or inspected without complete removal of the heat exchanger
assembly. Detailed information on heat exchanger removal can be
obtained from your Distributor.
Wiring Diagrams
See Fig. 73 for the wiring diagram.

WINTERIZATION

CAUTION
!
UNIT AND PROPERTY DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in unit component or property
damage.
If the furnace is installed in an unconditioned space where the ambient
temperatures may be 32_ F (0_ C) or lower, freeze protection measures
must be taken to prevent minor property or product damage.
Since the furnace uses a condensing heat exchanger, some water will
accumulate in the unit as a result of the heat transfer process. Therefore,
once it has been operated, it cannot be turned off and left off for an
extended period of time when temperatures will reach 32_F (0_C) or
lower unless winterized. Follow these procedures to winterize your
furnace:
CAUTION
!
UNIT COMPONENT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in damage to the furnace and
other property damage.
Do not use ethylene glycol (automotive antifreeze coolant or
equivalent). Failure of plastic components may occur.
1. Obtain propylene glycol (RV/swimming pool antifreeze or
equivalent).
Manufacturer reserves the right to change, at any time, specifications and designs without notice and without obligations.
2. Turn off gas and electrical supplies to your furnace.
3. Remove furnace control door.
4. Remove the top unused rubber plug from the port on the collector
box opposite the condensate trap. See
5. Connect a field supplied 3/8-in. (9.5-mm) ID tube to the open port
on the collector box
6. Insert a field supplied funnel into the tube.
7. Pour 1 quart of anti-freeze solution into the funnel/tube. Antifreeze
should run through the inducer housing, overfill condensate trap
and flow to an open drain.
8. Replace the rubber plug in the port on the collector box.
9. Remove the middle unused rubber plug from the port on the
A11273
collector box opposite the condensate trap. See
10. Repeat Steps 5 through 8.
11. If a condensate pump is used, check with pump manufacturer to
verify pump is safe for use with antifreeze used. Allow pump to
start and pump anti-freeze to open drain.
12. Replace main door.
13. When furnace is re-started, flush condensate pump with clear water
to check for proper operation before re-starting furnace.
14. Propylene glycol need not be removed before re-starting furnace.
