3. SAFE INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Installation or repairs made by unqualified persons can
result in hazards to you and others. Installation MUST
conform with local building codes or, in the absence of
local codes, with the ANSI Z223.1 and the National Elec-
trical Code NFPA70-current edition or in Canada the
National Standard CAN/CGA B149-1 and CSA C.22.1 -
Canadian Electrical Code Part 1.
Failure to carefully read and follow all instructions in
this manual could result in furnace malfunction, prop-
erty damage, personal injury and/or death.
The information contained in this manual is intended
for use by a qualified service technician familiar with
safety procedures and equipped with the proper tools
and test instruments.
• Do NOT use this furnace as a construction heater.
• Use only the Type of gas approved for this furnace (See Rating
Plate),
• Do NOT use open flame to test for gas leak.
• Seal supply and return air ducts.
• Check to see that filters are installed correctly and are the proper
type and size.
NOTE: It is the personal responsibility and obligation of the cus-
tomer to contact a qualified installer to ensure that the installation
is adequate and conforms to governing codes and ordinances.
NOTE: Units with built in filter racks ( "C" Chassis 48 x 73 mod-
els), need a 26" minimum clearance at front of unit for removal of
filters. See chart below if unit is going to be placed near combus-
tible construction or materials.
While minimum clearances are acceptable for safety reasons,
they may not allow adequate air circulation around the unit for
proper operation in the cooling mode. Whenever possible, it is de-
sirable to allow additional clearance, especially around the
condenser inlet and discharge openings.
Do NOT install the unit in a location that will permit discharged air
from the condenser to recirculate to the condenser inlet.
REDUCED UNIT LIFE HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in
property damage, personal injury and/or death.
Do NOT operate unit in a corrosive atmosphere con-
taining chlorine, fluorine, or any other corrosive
chemicals.
Minimum Clearances to Combustible Construction
Furnace Plenum ........................................... 2"
Duct Side ........................ 2" (6" on large chassis models)
Condenser Inlet Side ...................................... 30"
Blower Service (Rear) ..................................... 30"
Control Service Side
(Front Combustion Air Inlet) ................... 30"
Clearance between 3 Ft. Overhang
and Top of Unit .............................. 30"
Combustible Base
(Wood or Class A, B or C
roof covering material) ......................... 0"
FIRE, EXPLOSION, OR CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING
HAZARDS
Failure to have the furnace inspected and maintained
could result in death, bodily injury, and/or property
damage.
It is recommended that a qualified service technician
check the heat exchanger integrity every two (2) years,
after the first four (4) years of operation.
4. LOCATING THE UNIT
ACCESS PANELS
See FIGURE 1 for a general view of unit and location of access
panels.
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD.
Failure to keep blower door closed could result in
bodily injury and/or death.
Keep blower door closed.
CLEARANCES
The location MUST allow for minimum clearances and should not
be adjacent to a patio or other area where the unit's operating
sound level might be objectionable. The combustion air inlet
openings MUST not be obstructed (see FIGURE 1). In addition,
local codes MUST be observed.

INSTALLATION
NOTICE
Unit will NOT operate properly unless it is installed level front
to rear and side to side.
The slope MUST NOT be greater than 1/8" per foot (10mm per
meter). For side to side leveling, the drain side MUST always
be lower.

Burner Compartment
Ground Level Installation
Ground level platform requirements:
- The unit MUST be situated to provide safe access for servic-
ing.
Platform may be made of either concrete or pressure treated
wood and MUST be level and strong enough to support unit
weight.
Position platform separate from building foundation.
Install in well-drained area, with top surface of platform
above grade level.
Platform must be high enough to allow for proper condensate
trap installation and drainage. See FIGURE 4 and
associated text for more information about condensate
drainage.
Rooftop Installation
Rooftop platform requirements:
- The unit MUST be situated to provide safe access for servic-
ing.
- The existing roof structure MUST be adequate to support the
weight of the unit or the roof MUST be reinforced.
Check the weight of the unit in relation to the roof structure
and local building codes or ordinances and reinforce roof
structure if necessary. See FIGURE 21 in the back cover of
this manual for unit weights.
- Support for the unit MUST be level and strong enough to
carry unit weight. The support may consist of a platform or a
combination of platform and roof beams or curb.
- See Hoisting section below for hoisting instructions.
HOISTING
FIGURE 2 Blockoff Plate (Return Air Compartment)
Heating Vent Assembly
The flue cover is packed with screws in the return air compart-
ment, Refer to FIGURE 3 and assemble as shown.
FIGURE 3 _ Heating Vent Assembly

Flue Support
(Shipped mounted to unil
Flue Cover
NOTE: All access panels MUST be secured in place before hoist-
ing.
The unit should be hoisted with two lifting slings. Attach the slings
to rigging shackles that have been hooked through holes in the
base rail.
Two spreader bars MUST be placed on top of the unit to protect
the unit from damage from the pressure exerted by the slings.
Make sure that all equipment is adequate to handle the weight of
the unit and that the slings will not allow the unit to shift.
Refer to FIGURE 21 on the back cover of this manual for illus-
trated rigging instructions and weight chart.
DOWNFLOW CONVERSION
These units are adaptable to downflow use. To convert to down-
flow use, follow these steps:
1. Remove the blockoff plates found in the return air compart-
ment and the supply air compartment. See FIGURE 2.
NOTE: Blockoff plate in the supply air compartment only contains
one screw. If reinstalling plate, back part of plate MUST fit into
mating dimples on flange. To reinstall, slant plate into dimples,
then put plate into position and fasten with screw.
2. Install the removed plates on the horizontal return and supply
air openings.
3. Install roof curb on the building. Be sure to follow all direc-
tions included with curb and all applicable building codes in
your installation. (See Pages 2 or 3 for appropriate curb to
use with your model.)
\
Condensate Drain
The condensate drain outlet is a 3/4" (19.1 mm) threaded female
PVC connection located atthe bottom of the unit to the right ofthe
filter access panel (see FIGURE 4). Condensate drain outlet
MUST be held with wrench when installing trap and drain line.
The circulating blower creates a negative pressure on the con-
densate drain line that can prevent the condensate from draining
properly. To combat this negative pressure, a field supplied con-
densate trap that will allow a standing column of water of at least
2" (50.8mm) MUST be installed. Top of outlet from trap MUST be
at least 1" (25.4mm) below top of outlet from unit. Install the trap
as near to the unit as possible for proper drainage.
A 3/4" (19.1 mm) drain line MUST be installed if required by local
codes or if location of unit requires it. Run the drain line to an open
drain or other suitable disposal point.
