4 - Move gas valve switch to OFF.
5 - Replace the access panel.
Failure To Operate
If the unit fails to operate, check the following:
1 - Is the thermostat calling for heat?
2 - Are access panels securely in place?
3 - Is the main disconnect switch closed?
4 - Is there a blown fuse or tripped breaker?
5 - Is the lter dirty or plugged? Dirty or plugged lters
will cause the limit control to shut the unit off.
6 - Is gas turned on at the meter?
7 - Is the manual main shut-off valve open?
8 - Is the internal manual shut-off valve open?
9 - Is the unit ignition system in lockout? If the unit
locks out again, inspect the unit for blockages.
Heating Sequence Of Operation
1 - When thermostat calls for heat, combustion air
inducer starts.
2 - Combustion air pressure switch proves blower
operation. Switch is factory set and requires no
adjustment.
3 - After a 15-second prepurge, the hot surface ignitor
energizes.
4 - After a 20-second ignitor warm-up period, the gas
valve solenoid opens. A 4-second trial for ignition
period begins.”
5 - Gas is ignited, ame sensor proves the ame, and
the combustion process continues.
6 - If ame is not detected after rst ignition trial,
the ignition control will repeat steps 3 and 4 four
more times before locking out the gas valve
(“WATCHGUARD” ame failure mode). The ignition
control will then automatically repeat steps 1 through
6 after 60 minutes. To interrupt the 60-minute
“WATCHGUARD” period, move thermostat from
“Heat” to “OFF” then back to “Heat”. Heating
sequence then restarts at step 1.

Furnace should operate at least 5 minutes before check-
ing gas ow. Determine time in seconds for two revolu-
tions of gas through the meter. (Two revolutions assures
a more accurate time.) Divide by two and compare to time
in table 20. If manifold pressure matches table 22 and rate
is incorrect, check gas orices for proper size and restric-
tion. Remove temporary gas meter if installed.
NOTE - To obtain accurate reading, shut off all other gas
appliances connected to meter.
Supply Pressure Measurement
An inlet post located on the gas valve provides access
to the supply pressure. See Figure 62. Back out the 3/32
hex screw one turn, connect a piece of 5/16 tubing and
connect to a manometer to measure supply pressure. See
table 22 for supply line pressure.
On multiple unit installations, each unit should be checked
separately, with and without units operating. Supply pres-
sure must fall within range listed in table 22.
Manifold Pressure Measurement
NOTE - Pressure test adapter kit (10L34) is available from
Lennox to facilitate manifold pressure measurement.
A manifold pressure post located on the gas valve pro-
vides access to the manifold pressure. See Figure 62.
Back out the 3/32 hex screw one turn, connect a piece
of 5/16 tubing and connect to a manometer to measure
manifold pressure.
To correctly measure manifold pressure, the differential
pressure between the positive gas manifold and the neg-
ative burner box must be considered.
1 - Connect the test gauge positive side “+“ to manifold
pressure tap on gas valve as noted above.
2 - Tee into the gas valve regulator vent hose and
connect to test gauge negative “-”.
3 - Ignite unit on low re and let run for 5 minutes to
allow for steady state conditions.
4 - After allowing unit to stabilize for 5 minutes, record
manifold pressure and compare to value given in
table 22.
5 - If necessary, make adjustments. Figure 62 shows
location of high re and low re adjustment screws.
6 - Repeat steps 3, 4 and 5 on high re. See values in
table 22.
7 - Shut unit off and remove manometer as soon as
an accurate reading has been obtained. Turn the
supply and manifold 3/32” hex screws one revolution
back into the gas valve.
8 - Start unit and perform leak check. Seal leaks if
found.
