PILOT CHECKOUT
The pilot flame should envelope the end of the flame
sensor. To adjust pilot flame, (1) remove pilot adjust-
ment cover screw, (2) increase or decrease the clear-
ance for air to the desired level, (3) be sure to replace
cover screw after adjustment to prevent possible gas
leakage.
Put the system into operation and observe through
complete cycle to be sure all controls function properly.
BURNER INSTRUCTIONS
To check or change burners, pilot or orifices, CLOSE
MAIN MANUAL SHUT-OFF VALVE AND SHUT OFF
ALL ELECTRIC POWER TO THE UNIT.
1. Remove the screws holding either end of the mani-
fold to the burner supports.
2. Open the union fitting in the gas supply line just
upstream of the unit gas valve and downstream
from the main manual shut-off valve.
3. Remove the gas piping closure panel.
4. Disconnect wiring to the gas valves and spark igni-
tors. Remove the manifold-burner gas valve
assembly by lifting up and pulling back.
FIGURE 27 - TYPICAL FLAME APPEARANCE
Burners are now accessible for service.
Reverse the above procedure to replace the assem-
blies. Make sure that burners are level and seat at the
rear of the heat exchanger.
BURNER AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT
Adjust burner shutters so no yellow flame is observed
in the heat exchanger tubes.

CHECKING GAS INPUT
NATURAL GAS
1. Turn off all other gas appliances connected to the
gas meter.
2. With the furnace turned on, measure the time
needed for one revolution of the hand on the small-
est dial on the meter. A typical gas meter usually
has a 1/2 or a 1 cubic foot test dial.
3. Using the number of seconds for each revolution
and the size of the test dial increment, find the
cubic feet of gas consumed per hour from the Gas
Rate - Cubic Feet Per Hour Table 26.
If the actual input is not within 5% of the furnace rating
(with allowance being made for the permissible range
of the regulator setting), replace the orifice spuds with
spuds of the proper size.
To find the Btu input, multiply the number of
NOTE:
cubic feet of gas consumed per hour by the
Btu content of the gas in your particular locality
(contact your gas company for this information
- it varies widely from city to city.)

Example: By actual measurement, it takes 13 seconds for the hand on the 1-
cubic foot dial to make a revolution with just a 300,000 Btuh furnace running.
Read across to the column in the table above, headed "1 Cubic Foot", where
you will see that 278 cubic feet of gas per hour are consumed by the furnace at
that rate. Multiply 278 x 1050 (the Btu rating of the gas obtained from the local
gas company). The result is 292,425 Btuh, which is close to the 300,000 Btuh
rating of the furnace.
