The gas valve is factory set and should not require adjust-
ment. All gas valves are factory regulated.
Manifold Adjustment Procedure:
1 -   Connect  test  gauge  to  manifold  pressure  tap 
(FIGURE 19 and FIGURE 20) on gas valve.
2 -   Ignite  unit on  low  re and  let  run for  5  minutes to 
allow for steady state conditions.
3 -   After allowing unit to stabilize for 5 minutes, record 
manifold  pressure  and  compare  to  value  given  in 
TABLE 19.
4 -   If  necessary,  make  adjustments.  FIGURE  19  and 
FIGURE 20 show location of high re and low re 
adjustment screw.
5 -   Repeat steps 2, 3 and 4 on high re.
6 -   Shut unit o and remove manometer as soon as an 
accurate reading has been  obtained. Take care to 
replace pressure tap plug.
7 -   Start  unit  and  perform  leak  check.  Seal  leaks  if 
found.
F- Proper Gas Flow (Approximate)
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 17. If manifold pressure matches TABLE 19 and 
rate  is  incorrect,  check  gas  orices  for  proper  size  and 
restriction.
NOTE- To obtain accurate reading, shut o all other gas 
appliances connected to meter.
G- Proper Combustion
Furnace should operate minimum 15 minutes with correct 
manifold pressure and gas ow rate before checking com-
bustion. See  sections  E- and  F-. Take  combustion  sam-
ple beyond the ue outlet and compare to TABLE 18. The 
maximum  carbon  monoxide  reading  should  not  exceed 
100 ppm

 IMPORTANT
For safety, shut unit o and remove manometer as 
soon as an accurate reading has been obtained. 
Take care to replace pressure tap plug.

The carbon monoxide reading should not exceed 100 ppm.
H- High Altitude
The  manifold  pressure,  gas  orice  and  pressure  switch 
may require adjustment or replacement to ensure proper 
operation at higher altitudes. See TABLE 19 for manifold 
pressures  and  TABLE  20,  TABLE  21  and  TABLE  22for 
pressure switch and gas conversion kits.
