19.2 LUBRICATION

Both the exhauster motor and circulating fan motor are ball bearing type motors. Neither requires routine
lubrication.
IMPORTANT:
THE MOTOR BEARINGS WERE PRE-LUBRICATED BY THE MOTOR MANUFACTURER. DO
NOT ATTEMPT TO LUBRICATE THEM. EXCESS LUBRICATION WILL VOID THE WARRANTY,
SHORTEN THE SERVICE LIFE OF THE MOTORS, AND WILL ATTRACT THE BUILDUP OF
DUST AND DIRT.

19.3 TERMINATIONS

The combustion air and exhaust terminals should be inspected occasionally to ensure that they are free of
obstructions and debris. If screens were used in either terminal, ensure that they are free of debris, corrosion,
or anything preventing the free fl ow of air.

19.4 INTAKE AIR/EXHAUST PIPING

The combustion air intake piping and exhaust piping should be inspected periodically for sags, evidence of
leakage etc. If either condition exists, contact your installation contractor, service agency or fuel supplier.
HOLES IN THE EXHAUST PIPING OR FURNACE HEAT EXCHANGER CAN ALLOW
TOXIC FUMES TO ENTER THE HOME AND CIRCULATE THROUGH THE DUCT SYSTEM

19.5 OPERATING TIPS

1. Clean air fi lters maximize effi ciency, and reduce heating costs.
2. During the heating season, keep windows and doors closed to reduce the heating load on the system.
3. Avoid excessive use of kitchen exhaust hoods and other exhaust fans to reduce the heating load on the
system.
4. Arrange the furniture and drapes so that the supply air registers and return air grills are unobstructed.
5. If you have a perimeter duct system, ideally, the warm air should bathe the cold exterior walls. Avoid the
use of plastic defl ectors on the supply air registers which tend to short circuit the warm air straight into the
return air grills. These defl ectors are often the cause of cool draughts across the fl oor.
6. Avoid placing heat producing appliances such as televisions, radios, lamps, etc. in a location to infl uence
the thermostat.
7. Keep combustible articles at least 3 feet away from the furnace. Do not block access for servicing the
furnace Do not use the combustion air or exhaust piping as a hanger for clothes or anything else.
IMPORTANT:
NEVER ATTEMPT TO OPERATE THE FURNACE WITHOUT THE BLOWER DOOR AND
COMBUSTION COMPARTMENT DOOR IN PLACE OR WHEN THE BLOWER HAS FAILED.
OPERATING THE FURNACE WITHOUT THE UPPER/LOWER DOORS IN PLACE SHOULD
ONLY BE DONE BY QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
