START-UP & ADJUSTMENT
BEFORE LIGHTING - Smell all around the appliance
area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor because
LP/Propane gas is heavier than air and will settle on the
floor.
Use only your hand to move the gas control switch. Never
use tools. If the switch will not move by hand, do not try to
repair it. Force or attempted repair may result in a fire or
explosion.
A - Placing the Unit into Operation
IMPORTANT
Follow the lighting instructions provided on the unit. If
lighting instructions are not available, refer to the follow
ing section.
Units are equipped with a hot surface ignition system. The
ignition system automatically lights the burners each time
the thermostat calls for heat.
1 - STOP! Read the safety information at the beginning
of this section.
2 - Set the thermostat to its lowest setting.
3 - Turn off all electrical power to the furnace.
4 - Do not try to light the burners by hand.
5 - Remove the unit access panel.
6 - Move gas valve switch to OFF. See figure 3.
7 - Wait five (5) minutes for any gas to clear out. If you
then smell gas, STOP! Immediately call your gas
supplier from a neighbor's phone. Follow the gas
supplier's instructions. If you do not smell gas, go to
the next step.
8 - Move gas valve switch to ON. See figure 3.
9 - Replace the unit access panel.
10 - Turn on all electrical power to the unit.
11 - Set the thermostat to desired setting.
12 - If the furnace will not operate, see the section
“Turning Gas Off to the Unit” and call your the gas
supplier.

TABLE 1
Furnace should operate at least 5 minutes before
checking gas flow. Determine time in seconds for two
revolutions of gas through the meter. (Two revolutions
assures a more accurate time.) Divide by two and
compare to time in table 1 below. If manifold pressure
matches table 2 and rate is incorrect, check gas orifices
for proper size and restriction. Remove temporary gas
meter if installed.
B - Supply Pressure Measurement
When testing supply gas pressure, use the 1/8” N.P.T.
supply line tap located on the gas valve to facilitate test
gauge connection. See figure 2. Check gas line pressure
with unit firing at maximum rate. Low pressure may result
in erratic operation or underfire. High pressure can result
in permanent damage to gas valve or overfire.
On multiple unit installations, each unit should be
checked separately, with and without units operating.
Supply pressure must fall within range listed in table 2.
NOTE - To obtain accurate reading, shut off all other gas
appliances connected to meter.
C - Manifold Pressure Measurement
1 - Connect test gauge to manifold pressure tap (figure
2) on gas valve.
2 - Start unit and allow 5 minutes for unit to reach steady
state.
3 - After allowing unit to stabilize for 5 minutes, record
manifold pressure and compare to value given in
table 2.
4 - If necessary, make adjustments. Figure 2 shows
location of adjustment screw.

TABLE 2
E - Proper Combustion
Furnace should operate minimum 15 minutes with correct
manifold pressure and gas flow rate before checking
combustion. Take combustion sample beyond the flue
outlet and compare to table 3.
NOTE - Shut unit off and remove manometer as soon as
the supply pressure, manifold pressure and combustion
sample have been obtained. Take care to remove barbed
fitting and replace threaded plug.

1 - Set the thermostat to its lowest setting.
2 - Turn off all the electrical power to the unit.
3 - Remove the access panel.
4 - Move the switch on the gas valve to OFF. Do not
force the switch.
