1. With gas OFF, connect manometer to manifold pressure tap

on the outlet of gas control valve. See Fig. 51Use a

manometer with a 0 to 12 inches of water column range.

2. Turn gas ON. Operate the furnace on High Heat by using a

jumper wire on the R to W1 & W2 thermostat connections

on the furnace control board.

3. Remove manifold pressure adjustment screw cover on

furnace gas control valve.

Turn adjusting screw

counterclockwise to decrease the manifold pressure and
clockwise to increase pressure. See Fig. 51

NOTE: Adjustment screw cover MUST be replaced on gas control
valve before reading manifold pressure and operating furnace.

4. Set manifold pressure to value shown in Table 7,or Table 8.
5. Operate the furnace on Low Heat by using a jumper wire on

the R to W1 thermostat connections on the furnace control
board.

NOTE: The SW1 DIP switch #3 should be in the ON position to
set the Low Heat manifold pressure. (See wiring diagram.)

6. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for Low Heat operation.
7. When the manifold pressures are properly set, replace the

adjustment screw covers on the gas control valve.

8. Remove the jumper wires from the thermostat connections

on the furnace control board. Remove manometer
connection from manifold pressure tap, and replace plug in

gas valve.

9. Return SW1 DIP switch #3 to previous setting.

10. Check for leaks at plug.

Natural Gas Input Rating Check

NOTE: The gas meter can be used to measure input to furnace.
Rating is based on a natural gas BTU content of 1,000 BTU’s per
cubic foot. Check with gas supplier for actual BTU content.

1. Turn OFF gas supply to all appliances and start furnace. Use

jumper wire on R to W1 and W2 for High Heat.

2. Time how many seconds it takes the smallest dial on the gas

meter to make one complete revolution. Refer to Example.

3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 with jumper wire on R to W1 for Low

Heat.

NOTE: If meter uses a 2 cubic foot dial, divide results (seconds)
by two.
NOTE: SW1 DIP switch #3 must be in ON position. (See Furnace
Wiring Diagram). Return SW1 DIP switch #3 to previous setting
after check.

4. Remove jumper wire from R to W1 and W2.
5. Relight all appliances and ensure all pilots are operating.

Main Burner Flame Check

Allow the furnace to run approximately 10 minutes then inspect the
main burner and pilot flames. See Fig. 52.
Check for the following (Fig. 52:

• Stable and blue flames. Dust may cause orange tips

or wisps of yellow, but flames MUST NOT have solid,

yellow tips.

• Flames extending directly from burner into heat ex-

changer.

• Flames do NOT touch sides of heat exchanger.

If any problems with main burner flames are noted, it may be

necessary to adjust gas pressures, or check for drafts.

Temperature Rise Check

The blower speed MUST be set to give the correct air temperature
rise through the furnace as marked on the rating plate for both High

Heat and Low Heat operation. Temperature rise is the difference

between supply and return air temperatures.
