Prime Condensate Trap with Water
1. Remove upper and middle collector box drain plugs opposite of the
condensate trap. See Fig. 61.
2. Connect  field-supplied  5/8-in.  (16  mm)  ID  tube  with  attached
funnel to upper collector box drain connection.
3. Pour one quart (liter) of  water  into funnel/tube. Water should run
through collector box, overfill condensate trap, and flow into open
field drain.
4. Remove funnel; replace collector box drain plug.
5. Connect field-supplied 5/8-in. (16 mm) ID tube to middle collector
box drain port.
6. Pour one quart (liter) of  water  into funnel/tube. Water should run
through collector box, overfill condensate trap, and flow into open
field drain.
7. Remove funnel  and tube from collector box and  replace collector
box drain plug.

Purge Gas Lines
If not previously done, purge the lines after all connections  have been
made and check for leaks.

WARNING
!
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
Failure  to  follow  these  warnings  could  result  in  personal  injury  or
death.
Failure  to  use  a  properly  configured  trap  or  NOT  water-priming  trap
before  operating  furnace  may  allow  positive  pressure  vent  gases  to
enter  the  structure  through  drain  tube.  Vent  gases  contain  carbon
monoxide which is tasteless and odorless.
CAUTION
!
UNIT OPERATION HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in intermittent unit operation
or performance satisfaction.
Condensate trap must be  PRIMED or  proper draining may not occur.
The  condensate  trap  has  two  internal  chambers  which  can  ONLY  be
primed by pouring water into the inducer drain side of condensate trap.
WARNING
!
FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
Failure  to  follow  this  warning  could  result  in  personal  injury,  death,
and/or property damage. 
Never purge a gas line into a combustion chamber. Never test for gas
leaks with an open flame. Use a commercially available soap solution
made specifically for the detection of leaks to check all connections. A
fire or explosion may result causing property damage, personal injury
or loss of life.
WARNING
!
FIRE HAZARD
Failure  to  follow  this  warning  could  result  in  personal  injury,  death
and/or property damage. 
DO  NOT  bottom  out  gas  valve  regulator  adjusting  screw.  This  can
result in unregulated manifold pressure and result in excess overfire and
heat exchanger failures.
CAUTION
!
FURNACE DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in reduced furnace life. 
The 26,000 BTUh model has a lower nominal manifold pressure than
other  models.  Do  not  adjust  the  natural  gas  manifold  pressure  above
1.8-in. w.c.
The 26,000 BTUh model can be identified by the green label affixed to
the solenoid of the gas valve.
Refer to the Adjustment section for setting the manifold pressure.
USE  Table 26  WHEN  ADJUSTING  26,000  BTUh  MODEL
MANIFOLD PRESSURE.
CAUTION
!
FURNACE DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in reduced furnace life. 
DO NOT redrill orifices. Improper drilling (burrs, out-of-round holes,
etc.)  can  cause  excessive  burner  noise  and  misdirection  of  burner
flames.  This  can  result  in  flame  impingement  of  heat  exchangers,
causing failures. See Fig. 62.
