Wiring the Furnace and Pump
WARNING: To avoid electrical shock, make sure that power to the furnace is turned OFF
before connecting any wires. A licensed electrician should install all wiring to your furnace. All
wiring must be in accordance with the National Uniform Electrical Code and local codes. Properly size
all wires and use electrical conduit for all electrical lines.
Wiring your furnace involves the installation of two lines:
(1) A dedicated electrical line to the furnace
(2) A pump electrical circuit from the furnace to the oil pump
Necessary wiring specifications are provided in this section and in the Wiring Schematics located in
Appendix B at the back of the manual.
Wiring to the Furnace
1.
Install a dedicated electrical circuit to the electrical junction box on the furnace.
CAUTION: DO NOT tie into an existing circuit, or electrical overload may occur.
2.
Wire the furnace according to the Wiring Schematic in Appendix B.
3.
Check for correct voltage at the furnace, and refer to the following chart.
ATTENTION: Incorrect voltage will severely damage the blower motor/furnace components.
DO NOT operate your furnace on any non-specification power system.

*NOTE: Breaker size with optional equipment is 30 amps. When installing any
optional equipment (e.g. air compressor or draft inducer), you must use a 30 amp breaker. Make
sure a qualified electrician properly sizes and installs this electrical circuit.

4.
DO NOT turn on main power until instructed to do so.
Wiring to the Oil Pump
NOTE: DO NOT wire the pump directly into your building's electrical system. The pump must be
activated (receive power from) the burner via the pump electrical circuit.
1.
Install the pump electrical circuit from the furnace to the oil pump location.
2.
Wire the pump circuit according to the Wiring Schematic (Appendix B).
