PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION
The model and manufacturing number are used for positive identification of component parts used in manufacturing. When
engineering and manufacturing changes take place where interchangeability of components are affected, the manufacturing number will change.
It is very important to use the model and manufacturing numbers at all times when requesting service or parts information.

PRODUCT DESIGN
General Operation
The GKS9 furnaces are equipped with an electronic ignition
device used to light the burners and an induced draft blower
to exhaust combustion products.
An interlock switch prevents furnace operation if the blower
door is not in place. Keep the blower access door in place
except for inspection and maintenance.
This furnace is also equipped with a self-diagnosing electronic control module. In the event a furnace component is
not operating properly, the control module LED will flash on
and off in a factory-programmed sequence, depending on
the problem encountered. This light can be viewed through
the observation window in the blower access door. Refer to
the Troubleshooting Chart for further explanation of the LED
codes and Abnormal Operation - Integrated Ignition Control
section in the Service Instructions for an explanation of the
possible problem.
The rated heating capacity of the furnace should be greater
than or equal to the total heat loss of the area to be heated.
The total heat loss should be calculated by an approved
method or in accordance with “ASHRAE Guide” or “Manual
J-Load Calculations” published by the Air Conditioning Contractors of America.

Location Considerations
• The furnace should be as centralized as is practical
with respect to the air distribution system.
• Do not install the furnace directly on carpeting, tile, or
combustible material other than wood flooring.
• When suspending the furnace from rafters or joists,
use 3/8" threaded rod and 2” x 2” x 3/8” angle as
shown in the Installation and Service Instructions. The
length of the rod will depend on the application and
clearance necessary.
• When installed in a residential garage, the furnace
must be positioned so the burners and ignition source
are located not less than 18 inches (457 mm) above
the floor and protected from physical damage by vehicles.
Notes:
1. Installer must supply one or two PVC pipes: one for combustion air (optional) and one for the flue outlet (required).
Vent pipe must be either 2” or 3” in diameter, depending
upon furnace input, number of elbows, length of run and
installation (1 or 2 pipes). The optional Combustion Air
Pipe is dependent on installation/code requirements and
must be 2” or 3” diameter PVC.
2. Line voltage wiring can enter through the right or left side
of the furnace. Low voltage wiring can enter through the
right or left side of furnace.
3. Conversion kits for high altitude natural or propane gas
operation are available. See High Altitude Derate chart
for details.
4. Installer must supply the following gas line fittings, depending on which entrance is used:
Left -- Two 90º Elbows, one close nipple, straight pipe.
Right -- Straight pipe to reach gas valve.

36" at front is required for servicing or cleaning.
Note: In all cases accessibility clearance shall take prece-
dence over clearances from the enclosure where accessibility clearances are greater. All dimensions are given in inches.
High Altitude Derate
When this furnace is installed at high altitude, the appropriate High Altitude orifice kit must be installed. This is required due to the natural reduction in the density of both the
gas fuel and combustion air as altitude increases. The kit
will provide the proper design certified input rate within the
specified altitude range.
