16. Using an 11/16” wrench, loosen the
compression fittings on the feedback tube
between the air/fuel valve and the
differential pressure regulator. Remove the
feedback tube (See Figure 7.7).
17. Using two 9/16” wrenches remove the two
3/8-16 hex nuts and bolts holding the air/fuel
valve to the differential pressure regulator
(See Figure 7.7).
18. Remove the air/fuel valve taking care not to
damage the flange “O”- ring.
19. Remove the flue venting from the exhaust
manifold.

Differential Regulator Bolts
20. To prevent damage to and for easier
handling of the exhaust manifold it will be
necessary to remove the exhaust manifold
insulation. Using a 7/16” wrench or socket,
remove the 3 bolts and fender washers
securing the insulation to the exhaust
manifold.
21. Loosen the three 1-1/16” nuts that hold the
manifold. Remove the two side nuts . DO
NOT REMOVE THE FRONT NUT (See
Figure 7.8).
22. Carefully pull the manifold down and back,
removing it through the back of the unit.
23. Inspect the manifold and exhaust tubes for
debris. Clean out any debris as necessary.
24. Inspect the combustion chamber and the
combustion chamber liner. Replace the liner
if any signs of cracking or warpage are
evident.
NOTE:
The combustion chamber liner should be
installed prior to reinstalling the exhaust
manifold

25. Replace the gasket between the manifold
and the combustion chamber (P/N
GP-122537). The use of Permatex or a
similar gasket adhesive is recommended.
Replace the gasket between the manifold
and tubesheet (P/N GP-18900). Do not use
any gasket adhesive; this gasket has an
adhesive backing
26. Beginning with the manifold, reinstall all the
components in the reverse order that they
were removed.
