Lennox Industries Inc.
P.O. Box 799900
Dallas, TX 75379−9900
Installation of Lennox oil−fired furnaces must conform with
the National Fire Protection Association Standard for the
Installation of Oil Burning Equipment, NFPA No. 31, the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No.70 (in the
U.S.A.), CSA Standard CAN/CSA−B139 (in Canada),
Installation Code for Oil Burning Equipment, the Canadian
Electrical Code Part1, CSA 22.1 (Canada), the recommendations of the National Environmental Systems Contractors Association and any state or provincial laws or local ordinances. Authorities having jurisdiction should be
consulted before installation. Such applicable regulations
or requirements take precedence over general instructions
in this manual.
Chimneys and chimney connectors must be of the type
and construction outlined in section 160 of NFPA No. 31.
Air for combustion and ventilation must conform to standards outlined in section 140 of NFPA No. 31 or, in Canada, CSA Standard B139. When installing SLO183UFV
units in confined spaces such as utility rooms, two combustion air openings are required. Dimensions of combustion air openings are shown in table 1. One opening shall
be below burner level and the other opening shall be no
more than 6" (152 mm) from the room’s ceiling.
The combustion air opening should provide a minimum free
area one-half square inch per 1,000 Btu per hour input. This
combustion air should be brought into the area containing the
furnace below the level of the furnace burner.

NOTE − When service clearances are greater than fire
protection clearances, service clearances take precedence.
Obtain a temperature rise within the range listed in table 8
in the Start-Up section of this manual.
When installed, furnace must be electrically grounded in
accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local
codes, with the current National Electric Code, ANSI/
NFPA No. 70, or Canadian Electric Code (CEC) if an external electrical source is utilized.
Field wiring connection with unit must meet or exceed
specifications of type T wire and withstand a 63_F (17_C)
temperature rise.
If installing a programmable thermostat, use a type which
retains its memory in event of a power loss.When the furnace is used in conjunction with cooling units, it shall be
installed in parallel with, or on the upstream side of, cooling
units to avoid condensation in the heating element. With a
parallel flow arrangement, a damper (or other means to control the flow of air) shall be adequate to prevent chilled air
from entering the furnace and, if manually operated, must be
equipped with means to prevent operation of either unit, unless damper is in the full heat" or cool" position.
IMPORTANT
An opening to the outside for combustion air is
strongly recommended, especially in new homes.
Refer to table 1 or the unit rating plate for specific
combustion air opening dimensions.
WARNING
When an air conditioning unit is used in conjunction with the furnace, the evaporator coil must be
installed in the discharge (supply) air. Do not install
an evaporator coil in the return air; excessive condensation will occur within the furnace.
Page 4
Page 5
Notice to Home Owner
This furnace is equipped with safety devices that protect
you and your property. If one or more of these devices is
activated, furnace operation will stop. If your home is left
unattended for an extended period of time, equipment operation must be checked periodically. If this is not possible,
the water supply to the house should be shut off and the
pipes should be drained. This will prevent problems
associated with a NO HEAT condition (frozen pipes, etc.)
Combustion and Ventilation Air
Homes built with energy conservation in mind use tight
construction practices. These houses are sealed so well
that it becomes necessary to provide a means of bringing
in air from outside for combustion. Also, exhaust fans, appliance vents, chimneys and fireplaces force additional air
that could be used for combustion out of the house. Unless
outside air is brought into the home for combustion, negative pressure (pressure outside is greater than inside pressure) will build to the point that a down draft can occur in the
furnace vent pipe or chimney. Combustion gases enter the
living space creating a potentially dangerous situation. Negative pressure may also interfere with proper combustion, causing sooting within the heat exchanger.
The importance of the previous paragraph cannot be overstated. Users may inadvertently block fresh air intakes after installation.
In the absence of local codes concerning air for combustion and ventilation, the following section outlines guidelines and recommends procedures for operating oil furnaces in a manner that ensures efficient and safe
operation. Special consideration must be given to combustion air needs as well as requirements for exhaust vents
and oil piping.
Combustion Air Requirements
CAUTION
Insufficient combustion air can cause headaches,
nausea, dizziness or asphyxiation. It will also cause
excess water in the heat exchanger resulting in rusting and premature heat exchanger failure. It can also
cause property damage.
All oil-fired appliances require air to be used for the combustion process. If sufficient amounts of combustion air
are not available, the furnace or other appliance will operate in an inefficient and unsafe manner. Enough air must
be provided to meet the needs of all fuel-burning appliances, as well as appliances such as exhaust fans which
force air out of the home. When fireplaces, exhaust fans,
or clothes dryers are used at the same time as the furnace,
much more air is required to ensure proper combustion
and to prevent a down-draft situation. Insufficient amounts
of air also cause incomplete combustion which can result
in sooting. Requirements for providing air for combustion
and ventilation depend largely on whether the furnace is
installed in an unconfined or confined space.
Unconfined Space
An unconfined space is an area such as a basement or
large equipment room with a volume greater than 50 cubic
feet (1.4 cubic meters) per 1,000 Btu (293 W) per hour of
the combined input rating of all appliances installed in that
space. This space also includes adjacent rooms which are
not separated by a door. Though an area may appear to be
unconfined, it might be necessary to bring in outdoor air for
combustion if the structure does not provide enough air by
infiltration. If the furnace is located in a building of tight
construction with weather stripping and caulking around
the windows and doors, follow the procedures outlined for
using air from the outside for combustion and ventilation.
Confined Space
A confined space is an area with volume less than 50 cubic
feet (1.4 cubic meters) per 1,000 Btu (293 W) per hour of
the combined input rating of all appliances installed in that
space. This definition includes furnace closets or small
equipment rooms.
When the furnace is installed so that supply ducts carry air
circulated by the furnace to areas outside the space containing the furnace, the return air must be handled by ducts
which are sealed to the furnace casing and which terminate outside the space containing the furnace. This is especially important when the furnace is mounted on a platform in a confined space such as a closet or small
equipment room. Even a small leak around the base of the
unit at the platform or at the return air duct connection can
cause a potentially dangerous negative pressure condition. Air for combustion and ventilation can be brought into
the confined space either from inside the building or from
outside.
Air from an Adjacent Space
If the confined space housing the furnace adjoins space
categorized as unconfined, air can be brought in by providing two permanent openings between the two spaces.
Each opening must have a minimum free area of 1 square
inch (6.4 square centimeters) per 1,000 Btu (293 W) per
hour of the total input rating of all fuel-fired equipment in the
confined space. Each opening must be at least 100 square
inches (614.5 square centimeters). One opening shall be
within 12" (305 mm) of the top of the enclosure and one
opening within 12" (305 mm) of the bottom (See figure 1).

Air from Outside
If air from outside is brought in for combustion and ventilation, the confined space shall be provided with two permanent openings. One opening shall be within 12" (305 mm)
of the top of the enclosure and one within 12" (305 mm) of
the bottom. These openings must communicate directly or
by ducts with the outdoors or spaces (crawl or attic) that
freely communicate with the outdoors or indirectly through
vertical ducts. Each opening shall have a minimum free
area of 1 square inch (6.4 square centimeters) per 4,000
Btu (1172 W) per hour of total input rating of all equipment
in the enclosure. (See figure 2.) When communicating with
the outdoors through horizontal ducts, each opening shall
have a minimum free area of 1 square inch (6.4 square
centimeters) per 2,000 Btu (586 W) per total input rating of
all equipment in the enclosure (See figure 3).
When ducts are used, they shall be of the same cross−sectional area as the free area of the openings to which they
connect. The minimum dimension of rectangular air ducts
shall be no less than 3" (76 mm). In calculating free area,
the blocking effect of louvers, grilles, or screens must be
considered. If the design and free area of protective covering is not known for calculating the size opening required, it
may be assumed that wood louvers will have 20 to 25 percent free area and metal louvers and grilles will have 60 to
75 percent free area. Louvers and grilles must be fixed in
the open position or interlocked with the equipment so that
they are opened automatically during equipment operation.

CAUTION
Combustion air openings in the front of the furnace
must be kept free of obstructions. Any obstruction
will cause improper burner operation and may result in a fire hazard or injury.
CAUTION
The barometric draft control shall be in the same atmospheric pressure zone as the combustion air inlet to the furnace. Deviation from this practice will
cause improper burner operation and may result in
a fire hazard or injury.
Locate & Level the Unit
Set the unit in desired location keeping in mind the clearances listed in table 2. Also keep in mind oil supply connections, electrical supply, flue connections and sufficient clearance for installing and servicing unit.
Page 6
Page 7
Level the unit from side to side and from front to rear. If the
furnace is not level, place fireproof wedges or shims between the low side of the furnace and the floor. Make sure
the weight of the furnace is distributed evenly on all four
corners. Strain on sides of cabinet causing cracking and
popping noises may occur if weight of furnace is not evenly
distributed.
Adjustments
Neither the nozzle setting nor the air adjustments are factory set. The furnace is fire−tested and the limit control is
checked to make sure it functions properly; no factory settings are made. During installation, the furnace must be
set up." The installing dealer/contractor must have and
use proper test equipment in order to correctly set up the
oil furnace. Proper testing equipment is required to ensure
correct operation of the unit. The use of test equipment is
now more critical than ever due to tighter tolerances needed to keep the furnace operating efficiently.
Among the test equipment for an oil furnace, the proper
combustion test kit should contain the following:
S Draft gauge
S CO
or O2 analyzer
2
S Smoke tester
S Pressure gauge
S High temperature thermometer
S Beckett T−501 or Z−2000 nozzle gauge
S Oil vacuum gauge
S Knowledge of proper test equipment operation
CAUTION
Improper nozzle and/or air adjustment of this unit
may result in sooting problems. Refer to the following section for correct adjustment procedures.
Adjusting the Nozzle
Proper adjustment of the nozzle assembly is critical. Before
the flue pipe and oil lines are installed, the nozzle assembly
must be checked for proper depth and alignment. You must
remove the entire burner assembly (not just the nozzle) from
the furnace to check the nozzle depth and alignment. The
smaller sized firing nozzle has been factory−installed. This
should be verified by the installer. A larger nozzle has been
provided in the bag assembly for use with SLO183UFV86,
114 and 150 units. Inspect the spark transformer leads also
to ensure they are still attached to the electrodes.
The burner assembly is attached to the vestibule panel by
three nuts. Slots are provided in the mounting flange for removing the burner assembly from the vestibule. Loosen
the nuts and turn the whole burner assembly clockwise
(figure 4) to remove the entire burner assembly from the
furnace. There is adequate wire to remove the burner without disconnecting wires. Once removed, turn the burner
around in the vest panel area.
SLO183UFV Series Burner Removal
First, loosen three nuts which
attach burner to vest panel.
Next, rotate burner clockwise
on slots then pull toward you.
Figure 4
To correctly check and adjust the nozzle depth and alignment, use the Beckett T−501 or Z−2000 gauge.
To check the oil nozzle depth, insert the small end of the
gauge into the end of the cone and measure from the flat of
the end cone to the face of the nozzle. When nozzle depth
is correct, the tip of the nozzle should just touch the end of
the gauge. Refer to the illustration sheet provided with the
gauge. Note that the scale side of the gauge is not used for
this purpose. If necessary, loosen the escutcheon plate securing screw and slide the entire nozzle assembly forward
or backward within the air tube (figure 5). Re−secure escutcheon plate screw when adjustment is completed.
To check nozzle alignment, again insert the small end of
gauge into the end cone and measure the nozzle and
electrode alignment against the center lines marked on
the gauge (again refer to enclosed illustration sheet). If
the nozzle is not centered, but found to be too far left or
right, a new nozzle assembly will need to be ordered. Do
not attempt to adjust by bending the 90 degree elbow in
the oil line.
Take care to properly re−install burner assembly when
nozzle adjustment has been completed.
Beckett Oil Burner Nozzle Adjustment
Burner must be removed from
furnace for this procedure.
T−501 Gauge
To Adjust Nozzle
1−Loosen escutcheon plate screw.
2−Slide entire nozzle/electrode assembly back and forth inside air
tube until nozzle just touches gauge.

Indoor Coil Placement
In cooling / heat pump applications, Lennox recommends
that the indoor coil be installed at least 4 inches above the top
of the furnace cabinet to allow proper airflow. If coil cabinet
does not provide proper clearance, use field−fabricated transition.
Venting
WARNING
Combustion air openings in front of the furnace
must be kept free of obstructions. Any obstruction
will cause improper burner operation and may result in a fire hazard.
WARNING
The barometric draft control shall be in the same atmospheric pressure zone as the combustion air inlet to the furnace. Deviation from this practice will
cause improper burner operation and may result in
a fire hazard.
3 − The vent connector should not be smaller than the
outlet diameter of the vent outlet of the furnace.
4 − Pipe should be at least 24 gauge galvanized.
5 − Single wall vent pipe should not run outside or through
any unconditioned space.
6 − Chimney should extend 3 feet (0.9 m) above highest
point where the vent passes through the roof, and 2
feet (0.6 m) higher than any portion of a building within
a horizontal distance of 10 feet (3 m).
7 − The vent must not pass through a floor or ceiling.
Clearances to single wall vent pipe should be no less
than 6" (152 mm); more if local codes require it.
8 − The vent may pass through a wall where provisions
have been made for a thimble as specified in the Standards of the National Board of Fire Underwriters. See
figure 4.
Wall Thimble
Thimble
CAUTION
Do not store combustible materials near the furnace
or supply air ducts. The material (such as paint, motor oil, gasoline, paint thinner, etc.) may ignite by
spontaneous combustion creating a fire hazard.
WARNING
This furnace is certified for use with type L" vent.
B" vent must not be used with oil furnaces.
Prior to installation of unit, make a thorough inspection of the
chimney to determine whether repairs are necessary. Make
sure the chimney is properly constructed and sized according to the requirements of the National Fire Protection
Association. The smallest dimensions of the chimney
should be at least equal to the diameter of the furnace vent
connector. Make sure the chimney will produce a steady
draft sufficient to remove all the products of combustion
from the furnace. A draft of at least .04" w.c. (9.9 Pa) is required during burner operation.
1 − Local building codes may have more stringent instal-
lation requirements and should be consulted before
installation of unit.
2 − The vent connector should be as short as possible to
do the job.
Combustible
Wall
Vent Pipe
Figure 4
9 − The vent pipe should slope upward toward the chim-
ney on horizontal run at least 1/4 inch (6 mm) to the
foot (0.3 m) and should be supported by something
other than the furnace, such as isolation hangers.
10 − Extend the vent pipe into the chimney so that it is flush
with the inside of the chimney liner. Seal the joint between the pipe and the liner.
11 − The furnace shall be connected to either a factory−
built chimney or vent which complies with a recognized standard, or to a masonry or concrete chimney
which has been lined with a material acceptable to the
authority having jurisdiction.
12 − When two or more appliances vent into a common
vent, the area of the common vent should not be less
than the area of the largest vent or vent connection
plus 50% of the area of the additional vent or vent connection. Chimney must be able to sufficiently vent all
appliances operating at the same time.

14 − All unused chimney openings should be closed.
15 − All vent pipe run through unconditioned areas or out-
side shall be constructed of factory−built chimney sections. See figure 5.
16 − Where condensation of vent gas is apparent, the vent
should be repaired or replaced. Accumulation of condensation in the vent is unacceptable.
17 − Vent connectors serving this appliance shall not be
connected into any portion of mechanical draft systems operating under positive pressure.
18 − Keep the area around the vent terminal free of snow,
ice and debris.
NOTE − If vent pipe needs to exit from side of cabinet,
use the pilot hole (located on either side of the unit) to
cut a 6" (152 mm) round hole. Attach finishing plate
(provided) with four sheet metal screws to cover rough
edges.
Removal of Unit from Common Venting System
In the event that an existing furnace is removed from a
venting system commonly run with separate appliances,
the venting system is likely to be too large to properly vent
the remaining attached appliances. The following test
should be conducted while each appliance is in operation
and the other appliances not in operation remain connected to the common venting system. If venting system
has been installed improperly, the system must be corrected as outlined in the previous section.
1 − Seal any unused openings in the common venting
system.
2 − Visually inspect venting system for proper size and
horizontal pitch and determine there is no blockage or
restriction, leakage, corrosion or other deficiencies
which could cause an unsafe condition.
3 − Insofar as is practical, close all building doors and win-
dows and all doors between the space in which the appliances remaining connected to the common venting
system are located and other spaces of the building.
Turn on clothes dryers and any appliances not connected to the common venting system. Turn on any
exhaust fans, such as range hoods and bathroom exhausts, so they will operate at maximum speed. Do
not operate a summer exhaust fan. Close fireplace
dampers.
4 − Following the lighting instruction on the unit, place the
appliance being inspected in operation. Adjust thermostat so appliance will operate continuously.
5 − Test for spillage using a draft gauge.
6 − After it has been determined that each appliance re-
maining connected to the common venting system
properly vents when tested as outlined above, return
doors, windows, exhaust fans, fireplace dampers and
any other fuel burning appliance to its previous condition of use.
7 − If improper venting is observed during any of the
above tests, the common venting system must be corrected.
Flue Connections
IMPORTANT
When flue pipe is installed at less than minimum
clearance listed in table 2, radiation shields must be
installed. See figure 6.
Use 24 gauge or heavier galvanized smoke pipe and fittings to connect the furnace to the vent. Connect flue pipe
to chimney using the least number of elbows and angles
possible. Flue pipe or vent connector must be inserted into
but not beyond the inside surface of the chimney flue. No
reduction in diameter of flue pipe is acceptable. It is best to
Page 9
Page 10
have flue pipe as short and direct as possible. Where two
or more appliances vent into a common flue, the area of
the common flue should be at least equal to the area of the
largest flue or vent connector, plus 50% of the area of any
additional flues or vent connectors. Install a barometric
draft control (provided) and flue pipe according to instructions packed with control.
Inspect flue pipe annually. Clean soot or ash from flue pipe,
if necessary. If pipe is rusted, replace.
Barometric Draft Control Installation
Install the provided barometric draft control in the flue pipe
at least 12 inches beyond the furnace flue outlet to provide space for flue gas sampling. The barometric draft control may be installed in either vertical or horizontal sections
of the flue pipe; however, it should be positioned no more
than 18" beyond the furnace flue outlet. Follow the instructions packed with the barometric draft control.
Alternate Side Flue Connections
The vent pipe may exit the top or sides of the cabinet. A
hole is provided in the top cap for top exit. For side exit, locate the center hole punched in the side of the cabinet. See
unit dimensions on page 2. Using it as the center point,
cut a 6 inch (152 mm) round hole in the cabinet’s side.
Install the barometric draft control within 18 inches of
the furnace flue outlet. Attach the provided finishing
plate to cover rough edges.

Supply & Return Air Plenums
Secure return air plenum to unit using sheet metal screws.
NOTE − The following are suggested procedures that should
be followed when installing the supply air plenum.
1. Use sealing strips of fiberglass.
2. In all cases, the plenum should be secured to furnace or
evaporator cabinet with sheet metal screws.
3. Install supply and return air ducts as desired.
Oil Supply Line Sizing
Ensure that the restrictions of the piping system, plus any
lift involved, do not exceed the capability of the oil pump.
Use the following guidelines when determining whether to
use a single−or two−stage oil pump.
One−Pipe System
When using a one−pipe system (see figure 7), even with
the oil tank that is above the burner and a vacuum of 6"
(152 mm) Hg or less, a single−stage fuel pump with a supply line and no return line should be adequate.
Manual bleeding of the fuel pump is required on initial start
up. Failure to bleed air from the oil pump could result in an
air lock/oil starvation condition.
NOTE − As an extra precaution, cycle heating on and off
ten times after bleeding air from the oil pump. This will eliminate air in the gun assembly.

The burner is shipped with a single−stage fuel pump set for
one−pipe operation. For one−pipe systems, the oil supply
pipe is connected to the inlet tap on the pump. A one−pipe
system should only be used where there is gravity oil flow
to the pump or there is no more than 8 ft. of vertical lift (or 6
in. Hg) from the oil tank to the fuel pump.
1 − Connect the inlet pipe to the pump inlet. Start the burner.
2 − Turn the bleed valve one turn counterclockwise.
3 − Bleed the unit until all air bubbles disappear.
NOTE − Hurried bleeding will prevent the unit from operating properly.
4 − If necessary, put GeniSyst primary control into its
4−minute pump priming mode. Refer to table 10.
5 − Tighten the bleed valve securely.
Two−Pipe Systems
If the installation requires a two−pipe operation, install the
bypass plug included in the bag which is attached to the
pump. To convert the pump, install the bypass plug according to the provided pump instructions. Notice in the two-
Page 11
Page 12
pipe system the return pipe must terminate in the tank 3"
(76 mm) to 4" (102 mm) above the supply inlet. Ensure the
return pipe terminates at the correct measurement or air
may escape into the system. This could result in loss of
prime.
NOTE− If using an outside tank in cold climates a number
one fuel or an oil treatment is strongly recommended.
1. Remove 1/4" plug from return port.
2. Insert bypass plug and tighten it (see figure 8).
3. Attach the return and inlet pipes. Start the burner. Air
bleeding is automatic.
NOTE − If a faster bleed is necessary, open the bleed
valve.
4. The return pipe must terminate 3" to 4" above the supply pipe inlet (see figure 8).
NOTE − If the return pipe does not terminate where it
should, air may enter the system, and prime may be
lost.
An oil filter is required for all models. Install filter inside
the building between the tank shut-off valve and the burner. Locate filter close to burner for easy maintenance.

Blower Control (A54)
When the demand for cool is met, the blower ramps down
to 82% CFM for 60 seconds, then turns off.
WARNING
Electric shock hazard. Can cause
injury or death. Before attempting to
perform any service or maintenance,
turn the electrical power to unit OFF at
disconnect switch(es). Unit may have
multiple power supplies.
SLO183UFV units are equipped with a variable speed
blower motor which is capable of maintaining a specified
CFM throughout the external static range. Harmony zone
controls cannot be used with this furnace since the ECM
motor is not programmed for variable speed operation.
The blower motor is controlled by jumper selections made
on the A54 blower control. Jumpers are available to select
both heating and cooling blower speeds, as well as adjustment rates for cooling blower speeds and a test mode.
Blower control settings and operation are described in this
section.
The units are factory−set for nominal airflow for each model. Figure 11 shows the blower control. Use table 7 to determine the correct air volume for operation in heat and cool
mode.
Read this section thoroughly before adjusting the jumpers
to obtain the appropriate blower speed.
To change jumper positions, gently pull the jumper off the
pins and re−position it across the pins that will give the desired
blower speed. The following section outlines the different
jumper selections available and conditions associated with
each one (see figure 11).
COOL (two-stage systems)
This unit is factory−wired for single−stage cooling. For
two−stage cooling operation, you must cut the jumper
wire from Y1 to Y2 on the A54 blower control. Cut the
jumper close to the Y1 terminal to allow a pigtail connection
with the remaining wire from the Y2 terminal and a wire
connected to the Y2 terminal of the two−stage thermostat.
Refer to field wiring diagrams.
A thermostat call for first-stage cooling closes the R to Y1
circuit on the A54 blower control. The blower motor runs at
57% CFM for the first 7−1/2 minutes of the 1st−stage cooling demand. After 7−1/2 minutes, the blower motor runs at
70% CFM until the first−stage demand is satisfied.

COOL (single-stage systems)
The COOL jumper is used to determine the CFM during
cooling operation. This jumper selection is activated for
cooling when Y1 is energized. A factory−installed jumper
from Y1 to Y2 allows single−stage cooling.
The blower motor runs at 82% CFM for the first 7−1/2 minutes of each cooling demand to allow for greater humidity
removal and to conserve energy. If, after 7−1/2 minutes,
the Y demand is not met, 100% CFM is supplied until the
demand is satisfied.

If first−stage cooling does not satisfy the demand, the thermostat calls for 2nd-stage cooling, closing the R to Y2 circuit on the A54 blower control. The blower motor ramps up
to 100% CFM.
When the Y2 demand is met, the blower ramps down to Y1
at 70% CFM until Y1 is met, and ramps down to 57% CFM
for 1 minute, then turns off.
Heat Pump
IMPORTANT
For heat pump operation, cut the jumper between R
and O near the R terminal of A54 and connect the
pigtail to the thermostat O wire (A54 board O" to
thermostat O"). See figure 10.
In heat pump mode, a call for heat pump operation follows
the same sequence as a call for cooling, with the exception
that there is a 30−second blower ramp−up to blower CFM.

ADJUST
The ADJUST pins affect blower motor speed during cooling operation only. The ADJUST feature allows the motor
to run at normal speed, approximately 15% higher than
normal speed, or 15% lower than normal speed during the
cooling mode. Table 7 gives three rowsNORM, (+), and
(–) with their respective CFM volumes. Notice that the normal NORM" adjustment setting for cool speed position C
in table 7 is 800 CFM. The (+)" adjustment setting for that
position is 920 CFM (115% of 800 CFM) and the (–)" adjustment setting is 680 CFM (85% of 800 CFM). After the
adjustment setting has been determined, choose the remaining speed settings from those offered in the table in
that row.
HEAT
The unit is factory−set to run at the middle of heating rise
range as shown on the unit rating plate. The jumper on the
tap marked HEAT must remain in the position given in table
7.
The HEAT jumper is used to determine CFM during heat-
ing operation only. These jumper selections are activated
only when W1 is energized.
During the heat ON delay, the blower runs at 13% CFM for
the first minute, 50% CFM for the second minute, and full
CFM after two minutes.

TEST
The TEST pin is available to bypass the blower control and
run the motor at approximately 70% to make sure that the
motor is operational. This is used mainly in troubleshooting. The G terminal must be energized for the motor to run.
CFM LED
The CFM LED located on the blower control flashes one
time per 100 cfm to indicate selected blower speed. For
example, if the unit is operating at 1000 CFM, the CFM
LED will flash 10 times.
At times, the light may appear to flicker or glow. This takes
place when the control is communicating with the motor
between cycles. This is normal operation.
After the CFM for each application has been determined,
the jumper settings must be adjusted to reflect those given
in table 7. From the table, determine which row most closely matches the desired CFM. Once a specific row has been
chosen (+, NORMal, or −), CFM volumes from other rows
cannot be used. Below are descriptions of the jumper
selections.
The variable speed motor slowly ramps up to and down
from the selected air flow during both cooling and heating
demand. This minimizes noise and eliminates the initial
blast of air when the blower is initially energized.
Continuous Fan
When the thermostat is set for Continuous Fan" operation
and there is no demand for heating or cooling, the blower
control will provide 50% of the COOL CFM selected.

NOTE − With the proper thermostat and subbase, continuous blower operation is possible by closing the R to G circuit.
Dehumidification
The A54 blower control (see figure 11) includes a HUM terminal which provides for connection of a humidistat. The
JW1 jumper on the blower control must be cut to activate
the HUM terminal. The humidistat must be wired to open
on humidity rise. When the dehumidification circuit is used,
the variable speed motor will reduce the selected air flow
rate by 18% when humidity levels are high. An LED (D1)
lights when the blower is operating in the dehumidification
mode.
Humidification
Terminals are provided on the A15 control for 120 volt output to operate a humidifier. The HUM" terminal is energized when there is a call for heat. See figure 13.
Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Accessory
An EAC terminal is provided on the A15 control for 120 volt
output to an indoor air quality accessory. The EAC terminal
is energized when there is a call for heat, cool, or continuous blower. See figure 13.

Unit Start−Up & Adjustments
Before starting unit, make sure the oil tank is adequately
filled with clean No. 1 or No. 2 furnace oil.
NOTE − Water, rust or other contaminants in oil supply system will cause malfunction and failure of the internal parts
of the fuel pump.
CAUTION
Never burn garbage or paper in the heating system.
Never leave papers near or around the unit.
CAUTION
Blower access door must be in place before start-up.
Burner Start−Up
1 − Set thermostat for heating demand and turn on electri-
cal supply to unit.
2 − Open all shut−off valves in the oil supply line to the
burner.
3 − While the ignition is on, press and release the reset
button on the burner control (hold 1/2 second or less).
4 − Bleed the pump until all froth and bubbles are purged.
The bleed port is located on the bottom of the fuel
pump. To bleed, attach a clear plastic hose over the
vent plug. Loosen the plug and catch the oil in an
empty container. Tighten the plug when all the air has
been purged.
NOTE − A two−line fuel system will normally bleed itself
by forcing air back to the tank through the return line.
This type of bleeding procedure is not necessary.
5 − If burner fails to start within the set time, the burner
control will lock out operation. Press the reset button
to reset the control as in step 3. See figure on page 3
for burner parts arrangement.
CAUTION
Do not push the reset button on the primary control
more than one time.
6 − Repeat steps 4 and 5, if necessary, until pump is fully
primed and oil is free of bubbles. Then, terminate the
call for heat. The burner control will resume normal
operation
Fuel Pump Pressure Adjustment
Measure fuel pump pressure with unit off. Attach pressure
gauge to pump outlet. Turn unit on and check pressure and
compare to table 9. Adjust if necessary.
Temperature Rise Adjustment
To measure temperature rise, place plenum thermometers
in warm air and return air plenums. Locate thermometer in
warm air plenum where thermometer will not see" the heat
exchanger to prevent it from picking up radiant heat. Set
thermostat to its highest setting to start unit. After plenum
thermometers have reached their highest and steadiest
readings, subtract the readings. The difference in temperatures in the supply and return air plenums should approximate the temperatures listed in table 8 and on the appliance rating plate.
If the temperature rise is not within the range listed, check
the following items:
D Make sure that properly sized nozzle has been
used (table 9).
D Make sure that fuel pump pressure is correct.
D If furnace is in cutback mode, check for:
Dirty filters,
Dirty indoor coil,
Restricted ducts, closed registers, etc.

Burner Adjustment
The following instructions are essential to the proper operation of SLO183UFV series oil furnaces. To prevent
sooting, these instructions must be followed in sequence:
1. DraftThis test should be taken at the breach be-
tween the outlet of the vent connector and the barometric draft control. Generally a 1/4" hole will need to
be drilled for the draft gauge to be inserted into the vent
connector.
A minimum of 0.03 draft must be established without
the burner in operation. With the burner in operation,
the draft should be 0.04 to 0.05. This is VERY critical to
the flame retention head burners.
Oil furnace installations also require careful inspection
to make sure the chimney is in good shape and can accommodate the products of combustion. The temperature in the unconditioned space will also affect the
draft if long vent connectors are allowed to get too
cold.
2. Overfire DraftThis test should be taken with the
burner in operation. Remove the plug from the center
of the inspection port. Insert your draft gauge into the
hole.
A reading of the overfire draft should be 0.02 less than
the reading found in the vent connector. If a positive
reading is seen at this point, the combustion fan is
pumping too much air into the heat exchanger. Make
the necessary adjustments with the air shutter or air
band.

3. Smoke TestThe smoke test should be taken at the
hole drilled in step 1.
Using a smoke test gun, adjust the air so that you will
have just a trace (between 0 and #1) of smoke. If the
burner is producing more than #1 smoke, adjust the air
shutter (primary) and air band (secondary) to reduce
the smoke. See figure 12. To adjust the air shutter,
loosen the top screw on the air shutter (and lower
screw, if necessary). Then, rotate the shutter until the
desired smoke level is achieved. If smoke cannot be
reduced to the desired level by moving the air shutter,
adjust the air band to increase the air. To adjust the air
band, loosen the air band screw and rotate the
band.This is the starting point. Do not stop here.
4. CO2 TestAgain, take this sample at the vent pipe.
86,000 0.50 gph x 80° B 100 F0 4−3/4 2−3/4
101,000 0.65gph X 80° B 140 F3 4−3/4 2−3/4
114,000 *0.65gph X 80° B 140 F3 4−3/4 2−3/4
135,000 1.00gph x 80° 140 F4 4−3/4 3−3/8
150,000 *1.00gph X 80° B 140 F4 4−3/4 3−3/8
With the unit firing at a trace of smoke, take a sample of
the CO2. From the results of this test, a window of operation" will be determined. This window of operation
establishes some tolerance. The tolerance the installer builds in provides room within the set-up for those
things which might affect combustion. Those things
which might affect combustion can then do so without
causing the unit to start sooting/smoking. Things
which might affect combustion include a nozzle going
bad, draft that changes during different climatic conditions, dirty oil, dirt obstructing the air inlet, etc.
To build in a window of operation," set up the burner to
be 2% less in CO2. For example, if you find a reading of
12% CO2, adjust the air shutter (and air band, if necessary) to increase the air and drop the CO2 to 10%.
5. Retest the SmokeWith a drop in the CO2 and in-
crease in the air you should see that the smoke has returned to 0.
6. Retest the Overfire DraftThis test serves to con-
firm that you have not increased the air too much.
Again you do not want a positive pressure at the test
port. It should still be 0.02 less than the draft pressure
reading taken at the breach. You may need to increase
the stack draft by adjusting the barometric draft control.
7. Stack TemperatureTake a stack temperature read-
ing in the vent pipe. Subtract the room air temperature
from the stack temperature. This will give you the net
stack temperature. Use the efficiency charts provided
in most CO2 analyzers to determine furnace efficiency.
8. When the proper combustion and smoke readings
have been achieved, re−tighten the air shutter
screw(s) and air band screw.

CAUTION
NOTE − A heat exchanger clean-out kit ABRSH380
(35K09) is available from Lennox. The Kit includes one
radiator brush (which consists of a tapered brush with
a 36" spiral wire handle).
Do not tamper with unit controls. Call your qualified
service technician.
Servicing the Air Filter
NOTE − Under no circumstances should the access panels
to the blower compartment be left off or left partially open.
Throw-Away Type FiltersCheck filters monthly and replace when necessary to assure proper furnace operation.
Replace filters with like kind and size filters.
Reusable Type FiltersFilters should be checked
monthly and cleaned when necessary to assure proper furnace operation. Use warm water and a mild detergent. Replace filter when dry. Permanent filters supplied with
SLO183UFV furnaces do not require oiling after cleaning.
Examine filter label for any for special instructions that may
apply.
Servicing the Blower
Blower motor is prelubricated and sealed for extended operation. No further lubrication is required. Disconnect power to unit before cleaning blower wheel for debris.
Inspecting the Flue Pipe
The flue pipe should be inspected annually by a qualified
service technician. Remove and clean any soot or ash
found in the flue pipe. Inspect pipe for holes or rusted
areas. If replacement is necessary, replace with the same
size and type as required by code. Inspect the flue draft
control device and replace if found defective.
Cleaning the Heat Exchanger
1. Remove the vent pipe from the furnace.
2. Remove the locking screws and the caps from the
clean out tubes. Remove flue access elbow.
3. Using a long spiral wire brush, sweep down the outer
drum of the heat exchanger. Then using the hose attachment, vacuum out loose debris.
4. Remove the locking screw and cap from the observation tube and with the spiral wire brush, reach upward
toward the rear of the heat exchanger to clean out the
crossover tube.
GeniSyst Primary Burner Control
SLO183UFV units are equipped with the Beckett GeniSyst 7505B primary burner control. The control is positioned
on the upper right−hand side of the Beckett AFG burner assembly. The control includes a reset button and three status lights. See figure 13 for location of reset buttons and
status lights. Table 10 details reset button operation. Table
11 details status light function.
