--WARNING! -
The intake manifold, burner and exhaust manifold assemblies 
weigh approximately 25 pounds. Use care when removing these 
assemblies in the following steps. 
11. While supporting the blower-side intake manifold, loosen and remove the six (6) 5/16-18 hex
nuts securing it to the studs protruding from the exhaust manifold.
12. Carefully lower and remove the blower side intake manifold, burner assembly and both burner
gaskets (P/N GP-18899). See Figures 6-3 and 6-4.
13. Disconnect the exhaust temperature sensor (Figure 6-3) by unscrewing it from the exhaust
manifold.
14. While supporting the exhaust manifold, remove the two (2) side nuts (Figure 6-5) securing the
manifold to the heat exchanger. Loosen, but do not remove the third nut nearest to the front 
of the unit. 
15. Remove the exhaust manifold from the unit.
16. Inspect the exhaust manifold and burner assemblies for debris. Clean out debris as
necessary.
