16. Check for Gas Leaks
Brush a soapy water solution on each connection in the
main gas and pilot gas lines. Look for bubbles. If there
are any gas leaks, shut off the main gas supply and fix
any leaks before continuing. Repeat steps 1 through 6.
Do not use a match or other types of fire to locate a gas
leak.
17. Adjust The Burners
Forced draft burners can only be properly set up by
using combustion test equipment. These burners cannot
be set up on how the flame looks. Refer to the burner
manual in the product literature section for proper carbon
monoxide, carbon dioxide, and excess oxygen levels.
