IMPORTANT
■ The assembly may require cleaning due to
accumulations of dust and dirt over a period of time,
thereby affecting its ability to ignite fuel gas and sense
burner flame.
-- If spark appears to be weak, briskly rub the igniter
electrode with emery cloth or steel wool.
--- If the spark appears strong but the heater cycles off,
briskly rub the sensor rod with emery cloth or steel
wool.
■ Ensure the igniter gap is 3/16 in. and the igniter tip is
positioned over the burner slot according to the
illustration below.

1. Ensure there is not any dust, dirt, etc. that may cause
binding on the pivot points of the flapper. If debris is
found, use a soft brush, or compressed air, to clean
the area as necessary.
2. The arm of the flapper should engage the arm of the
airflow switch when the trailing edge of the flapper
body is lifted and is at the proper clearance distance
off the blower housing bottom. At this distance you
will hear a click which are the contacts closing within
the switch mechanism.
3. If the switch contacts do not close within this
distance, manually push in the arm in the switch to
make sure the switch is not defective. If a click is
heard, the switch is generally considered good.
However, to ensure switch contacts do close, perform
a continuity test
4. If the switch is not defective, the flapper arm may
need adjustment to engage the switch arm.
5. Using a needle nose pliers, gently bend up the arm of
the flapper (NOT TTHE S SWITCH AARM) in increments
until the flapper arm engages the switch arm, closing
the contacts of the switch.
