Gas Supply Pressure

Gas supply pressure should be within minimum and maximum

values listed on rating plate (minimum and maximum pressures,

refer to Table 5). Pressures are usually set by gas suppliers.

Manifold Gas Pressure Adjustment

NOTE: Make adjustment to manifold pressure with burners
operating.

1. Remove the burner compartment door.
2. Remove the blower compartment door. Place a jumper

across furnace controls R to W. Replace blower compart-

ment door.

3. With gas OFF, connect manometer to tapped opening on

gas valve. Use manometer with a 0 to 15 inches of water

column range.

4. Turn gas ON and remove adjustment screw cover on gas

valve. Turn adjusting screw counterclockwise to decrease

manifold pressure and clockwise to increase pressure.

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

5. Set manifold pressure to value as shown in Table 6 or 7

under GAS SUPPLY AND PIPING section in this manu-

al.

6. When the manifold pressure is properly set, replace the ad-

justment screw cover on the gas control valve.

7. Remove blower compartment door. Remove jumper wire

from thermostat connection on furnace control board. Re-

move manometer connection from manifold pressure tap,

and replace plug in manifold.

8. Check for leaks at plug.
9. Replace the burner and blower compartment doors.

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 meter. 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 W for Heat.

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

gas meter to make one complete revolution. Refer to

Example.

NOTE: If meter uses a 2 cubic foot dial, divide results
(seconds) by two.

3. Remove jumper wire from R to W.
4. 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. See Fig. 47.
Check for the following (Fig. 47):

S

Stable and blue flames. Dust may cause orange tips or wisps of
yellow, but flames MUST NOT have solid, yellow tips.

S

Flames extending directly from burner into heat exchanger.

S

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. Temperature rise is the difference between supply and

return air temperatures.
To check temperature rise,use the following procedure:
1.Place thermometers in supply and return air registers as close to

furnace as possible, avoiding direct radiant heat from heat

exchangers.
2.Operate furnace continuously for 15 minutes with all registers

and duct dampers open.
3.Take reading and compare with range specified on rating plate.
4.If the correct amount of temperature rise is NOT obtained, it

may be necessary to change blower speed. A higher blower speed
