PG96MSA: Installation, Start-up, Operating and Service and Maintenance Instructions
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.
WARNING
!
ELECTRICAL SHOCK AND FIRE HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury, death,
and/or property damage.
Turn off the gas and electrical supplies to the furnace and install lockout
tag before performing any maintenance or service. Follow the operating
instructions on the label attached to the furnace.
2. Remove control door.
3. Disconnect wires or connectors to flame rollout switch, gas valve,
igniter, and flame sensor.
4. Using backup wrench, disconnect gas supply pipe from furnace gas
control valve.
5. Remove two screws attaching top filler plate and rotate upwards to
gain access to screws attaching burner assembly to cell panel.
6. Remove screws attaching burner assembly to cell panel. See
Fig. 66.
NOTE: Burner cover, manifold, gas valve, and burner assembly should
be removed as one assembly.
7. Clean heat exchanger openings with a vacuum and a soft brush. See
Fig. 69.
Fig. 69 – Cleaning Heat Exchanger Cell
NOTE: After cleaning, inspect the heat exchangers to ensure they are
free of all foreign objects that may restrict flow of combustion products.
8. Reverse items 6 through 1 for reassembly.
9. Refer to furnace wiring diagram and reconnect wires to flame
rollout switch, gas valve, igniter, and flame sensor.
10. Turn on gas and electrical supplies to furnace.
11. Check furnace operation through 2 complete heat operating cycles.
Look at burners. Burner flames should be clear blue, almost
transparent. See Fig. 63.
12. Check for gas leaks.
13. Replace main furnace door.
Manufacturer reserves the right to change, at any time, specifications and designs without notice and without obligations.
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.

WINTERIZATION

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:
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).
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 one quart (liter) 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
collector box opposite the condensate trap. See
10. Repeat Steps 5 through 8.
A11273
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.

SEQUENCE OF OPERATION

NOTE: Furnace control must be grounded for proper operation or
control will lock out. Control is grounded through green/yellow wire
routed to gas valve and manifold bracket screw. Using the schematic
