be
sure fumace is properly
secured in place, that vent terminates to the atmosphere and that vent tubes
overlap properly. (See installation manual supplied with furnace.)
2. lnspect chamber and venting to assure that these components are physically
sound, without holes or excessive corrosion and that the installation
andlor
reinstallation is in accordance with Suburban's Installation Instmctions.
(Reference installation manual supplied with furnace.)
WARNlNGl It is imperative that the products of combustion be properly
vented to atmosphere and that all combustion air supplied to burner be
drawn from outside atmosphere.
3.
Check the base on which furnace is mounted. Be sure it is physically sound,
void of any sagging, deterioration, etc.
4. lnspect furnace, the venting, ducting and the gas piping to furnace for obvious
signs of deterioration. Correct any defects at once.
5. lnspect combustion chamber for restrictions in exhaust or intake. It is
imperative that the flow of intake combustion air and the flow of exhaust gases
being expelled to the outside atmosphere not be obstmcted. Any soot or loose
debris should be blown out using
ampressed air. (See Figure
3.)
6. lnspect all gaskets. If any gaskets show signs of leakage of deterioration.
replace them. Safe operation of the fumace depends on all gaskets being tight.
7.
lnspect return air inlet openings to the fumace. Remove any restrictions to
assure adequate air flow.
