ATTENTION INSTALLING PERSONNEL
As a professional installer, you have an obligation to know the product better than the customer.
This includes all safety precautions and related items.
Prior to actual installation, thoroughly familiarize yourself with this Instruction Manual.
Pay special attention to all safety warnings. Often during installation or repair,
it is possible to place yourself in a position which is more hazardous than when the unit is in operation.
Remember, it is your responsibility to install the product safely and to know it well enough
to be able to instruct a customer in its safe use.
Safety is a matter of common sense... a matter of thinking before acting.
Most dealers have a list of specific, good safety practices... follow them.
The precautions listed in this Installation Manual are intended as supplemental to existing practices.
However, if there is a direct conflict between existing practices and the content of this manual,
the precautions listed here take precedence.

IMPORTANT INFORMA TION
Contact a local propane gas supplier
about installing a gas detecting warning device.
NOTE: To ensure proper operation, inst all, operate and main-
tain the unit in accordance with these installation instructions,
all local building codes and ordinances. In their absence,
follow the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code (NFP A
54/ANSI Z223.1), and/or CAN/CSA B149.1 Installation Codes.
LOCA TION & PLACEMENT
This kit is designed for side panel application to Upflow furnace
models. Note that furnace condensate drain trap relocation is
required on 90% efficient furnace installations supporting five
tons of airflow through two side return air ductwork connections. Refer to Installation Precautions and Considerations
section for details.
NOTE: Condensate drain trap must be relocated on five ton
airflow 90% units (two side return air ductwork connections).
NUMBER OF KITS REQUIRED
Less Than Five Tons of Airflow
Installations supporting less than five tons of airflow require
only one return air ductwork connection when a permanent
filter is used. For this case one filter rack kit is required.
NOTE: This filter rack cannot be applied to a bottom return.
On 90% furnaces, the drain trap must be located either opposite the side receiving the filter rack or relocated (see Drain
Trap Relocation section).
Five Tons of Airflow
Installations supporting five tons of airflow require two return air
ductwork connections. If both connections are side panel connections, two filter rack kits are required. When a bottom
return is used in conjunction with a side panel connection, a
permanent filter must be installed in the bottom return and a
filter rack kit used for the side panel connection.
NOTE: This filter rack cannot be applied to a bottom return.
On 90% furnaces, the drain trap must be located either opposite the side receiving the filter rack or relocated (see Drain
Trap Relocation section).
