the CFM throughput. The desired data is obtained in
the following manner:
1. Select heater size based on heat loss of the building
to be heated.
2. Select temperature rise desired.
3. Based on temperature rise, the horizontal line intersects heater temperature vs. CFM curve.
Figure 4 - Standard Temperature Rise Duct Furnaces — 20-60°F (11-33°C)
4. Follow vertical line down to select CFM.
5. For pressure drop selection, follow vertical CFM line
until it intersects the selected heater performance
curve vs. pressure drop.
6. Follow the horizontal pressure drop line to the left,
and read pressure drop of the selected heater.

BYPASS SIZING INFORMATION
(BUILT ON THE JOB – NOT FURNISHED BY
FACTORY)
On occassion when a duct furnace is incorporated in an
air handling system, it may be desirable to handle a total
of more CFM than the duct furnace will pass at a given
static pressure drop and temperature rise. Therefore, it
is necessary to arrange to bypass the additional CFM
required. The size of the bypass duct can be determined
by referring to the chart. This permits the static pressure
drop through the bypass to balance off the drop through
the heat exchanger. The bypass duct is not factory
furnished and must be built on the job by the installer and
a damper placed therin if required.
Figure 5 - By-Pass Curve
USE OF BYPASS CURVES
The width of the by-pass for CFM in excess of that
provided through the heater may be found in the
following manner:
1. Determine the CFM and pressure drop through
the heater based on the heating requirement
specifi cations.
2. Determine the additional CFM desired, over and
above the CFM for the heating requirements.
3. Using the pressure drop which was determined from
performance curves above, for the heating load,
locate this pressure drop on the by-pass curves.
Follow this curve until it intersects the vertical CFM
line for the excess CFM desired.
4. Follow horizontal line to left to obtain width of b y-pass
duct.

Atmospheres containing solvents or chlorinated
hydrocarbons will produce corrosive acids when
coming in contact with the flames. This will greatly
reduce the life of the gas duct furnace and may void
the warranty. Avoid such areas.
CLEARANCES
Minimum clearances are shown in Figures 1, 2 & 6
and charts 1 & 2. It is important that clearances be
maintained for servicing the unit (refer to Figures 1
& 2 for clearances necessary to pull out the burner
drawer for servicing), and that minimum clearances are
provided from combustible material and from the venting
cap/top of unit. Clearances around the outside air hood

DUCT SPECIFICATIONS
Ductwork which is outdoors must be insulated and
sealed to prevent water from enter ing either furnace
or building through the duct. Do not alter the flange
connection for the duct attachment; air may bypass
and cause combustion problems. Be sure to properly
seal to avoid any air leakage (refer to Figures 1 and 2).
GAS CONNECTIONS
All gas piping should be installed in accordance with
local codes. It is required that a ground union be installed
adjacent to the manifold for easy servicing. On vertical
runs, a drip leg should be provided upstream of the
control manifold (see fi gure 9a). An additional shut-off
must be located externally of the jacket enclosure where
required by local code. The location of this valve must
comply with the local codes. A 1/8 inch NPT plugged
tapping, accessible for test gauge connection, must be
installed immediately upstream of the gas supply
connection to the unit. Field gas piping recommendations
are shown in Figure 9b.
Ductwork connected to duct furnaces should have
removable access panels on both the upstream and
downstream sides of the unit. These openings should
be accessible when the unit is installed, and should be
sized so that smoke or refl ected light can be observed
inside the casing to indicate the presence of leaks in
the heating equipment. The covers of the openings
should be attached in a manner that prevents leaks.
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply
piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff
valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply
piping system at test pressure equal to or less than
1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
For additional piping information, refer to the latest
edition of the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z233.1
(NFPA 54).
Figure 9a - Drip Leg Installation
It is recommended that the gas piping not be installed
through the bottom of the duct furnace bottom panel. If
piping must penetrate the duct furnace bottom panel, it
must be sealed to prevent water leakage.
To avoid equipment damage or
possible personal injury, do not connect gas
piping to this unit until a supply line pressure/
leak test has been completed. Connecting the
unit before completing the pressure/leak test
may damage the unit gas valve and result in a
fi re hazard.
Do not rely on a shutoff valve to
isolate the unit while conducting gas pressure/leak
tests. These valves may not be completely shut off,
exposing the unit gas valve to excessive pressure
and damage. Do not overtighten the inlet gas piping.
This may cause stresses that would crack the v alve.
Never use an open flame to
detect gas leaks. Explosive conditions may e xist
which would result in personal injury or death.
The gas line should be supported so that no strain is
The gas line should be supported so that no strain
is placed on the unit. Pipe compounds which are not

For the most satisfactory piping installation, the follo wing
procedure should be followed. Make piping layout of the
whole installation and calculate the cubic feet of gas that
each supply pipe will carry. See piping example below.
Calculate the cubic feet of gas that each supply pipe
will carry:
Btu/Hr.
1000 Btu Natural Gas/Cu. Ft.
= Cu. Ft. Per Hour of Gas to Unit (cfh)
Unit Kilowatt
37.3 Megajoules Natural Gas/Cu Meter
= Liters per second on Gas to Unit (l/s)
NOTICE: Contact your natural gas supplier for
the Btu/Cu. Ft. content of natural gas in your area.
This may be higher or lower than the nominal
1000 Btu/Cu. Ft. used in this example:
Refering to the piping example in fi gure 10, the length of
pipe from the gas meter (A) to the most remote heater
(E) is 60 feet. This distance should be used for all of the
heaters when determining the pipe size required. Based
on the column marked 60 feet in chart 3, the piping for
this example should be sized as follows:
• 450 cfh is supplied from A to B, requiring
1-1/4 inch pipe.
• 200 cfh is supplied from B to C, requiring
1 inch pipe.
• 250 cfh is supplied from B to D, requiring
1 inch pipe.
• 100 cfh is supplied from D to E, requiring
3/4 inch pipe.
• 150 cfh is supplied from D to F, requiring
1 inch pipe.
For SI calulations, refer to metric conversion chart
in general safety section of this manual.
NOTICE: If more than one gas duct furnace is to be
served by the same piping arrangement, the total cu.
ft./hr. input and length of pipe must be considered.
NOTICE: If the gas duct furnace is to be fired
with LP gas, consult local LP gas dealer for pipe
size information. Heater installation for use with
propane (bottled) gas must be made by a qualifi ed
LP gas dealer or installer. He will insure proper joint
compounds are used for making pipe connections;
that air is purged from lines; that a thorough test is
made for leaks before operating heater; and that it is
properly connected to propane gas supply system.
Before any connection is made to an existing line
supplying other gas appliances, contact the local gas
company to make certain that the existing line is of
adequate size to handle the combined load.
Check all connections with a soap solution before
leaving job.

GENERAL
All units are equipped with intermittent pilot ignition
systems. This system is 100% pilot burner shut off. See
Figure 11 for burner/gas controls. The pilot is lit and
extinguished during ever y cycle of operation. There is
no burning standing pilot.
NOTICE: Check gas supply pressure (see chart 4).
Gas valves are suitable to a maximum pressure of
0.5 psi (14 inches water column). If the main gas
supply pressure for natural gas is greater than 14
inches WC (3.5 kPa), a stepdown pressure regulator
must be installed ahead of the gas valve. For LP
(propane) gas, the gas pressure supplied should
On natural gas units, the ignitor will spark and pilot gas
not exceed 14 inches WC (3.5 kPa).
will continue to fl ow until the pilot fl ame is proven.
The controls are located inside the compartment on the
LP (propane) gas units are equipped with 100%
lockout. The lockout function shuts off the main and
pilot gas valves if the pilot gas fails to ignite within 30
seconds. In order to initiate a reignition trial, the power
supply must be interrupted for a minimum of 5 minutes
to allow dispertion of unburned gas.
access side of the unit. The input f or single-stage fi ring is

Electronic modulating gas firing is available from the
factory on natural and propane gas units.
Do not use a thermostatic fan control switch when
either two-stage firing or modulated gas controls are
used. A fan time delay switch can be used, however,
and is available as an option on outdoor duct furnaces.
All controls are located on the access side of the unit.
Chart 5 lists orifi ce sizes for outdoor duct furnaces.
OPERATING HIGH LIMIT CONTROL
The operating limit control is a factory installed
component surface mounted in the inlet air stream end
of the heat exchanger. This surface mounted safety
device must have adequate contact to the rear header
plate of the heat exchanger to insure its function.
When the temperature reaches the limit set point, all
heat is shutoff. The limit control has a built in autoreset that comes on when the equipment is suffi ciently
cooled down. Reference the unit's wiring diagram.
PILOT CONTROL
Intermittent pilot ignition is standard on all outdoor unit
sizes. Intermittent pilot ignition contains a solid state
ignition control system that ignites the pilot by spark for
each cycle of operation. When the pilot fl ame is proven,
the main burner valve opens to allow gas flow to the
burners. Both the pilot and burners are extinguished
during the off cycle.
HIGH GAS LINE PRESSURE REGULATOR
(Natural Gas only)
The pressure regulator is a field installed component
located external of the unit and as close as possible to
where the gas line inlet enters the unit.
The pressure regulator reduces the main gas line
pressure to a minimum of seven inches WC (1.74 kPa).

GAS CONTROLS
SINGLE STAGE CONTROL
Gas heating units are factory provided with an automatic
single-stage gas valve. This valve is an on/off type
control, typically activated by a low voltage single-stage
thermostat.
1. The thermostat calls for heat.
2. The pilot valve opens.
3. The ignitor sparks continuously to ignite the pilot.
4. The sensor proves pilot ignition and shuts off the
ignitor.
5. With the pilot lit, the main gas valve opens.
6. Main bur ners are lit at 100 percent of unit's rated
input.
7. The fan time delay relay (optional) allows the heat
exchanger to come up to operating temperature.
At this time, the fan time delay relay closes and
activates the fan controls.
8. The unit continues to fire until the thermostat is
satisfi ed and no longer calls for heat.
9. The main and pilot valves close.
TWO-STAGE CONTROL
Optional two-stage control is provided with a two-stage
gas valve capable of fir ing at 100% and 50% of rated
input. Ignition at a low fi re (50% of the unit's rated input)
and the unit is typically controlled by a voltage two-stage
thermostat.
With power applied to the unit, this system operates in
the following manner:
1. The fi rst stage of the thermostat call for heat.
2. The pilot valve opens.
3. The ignitor sparks continuously to ignite the pilot.
4. The sensor proves pilot ignition and shuts off the
ignitor.
5. With the pilot lit, the main gas valve open to low fi re.
6. Main burners are lit at 50 percent of unit's rated
input.
7. The fan time delay relay (optional) allows the heat
exchanger to come up to operating temperature. At
this time, the fan time dela y closes and activ ates the
fan motor.
8. If additional heat is required, the second stage of the
thermostat calls for heat.
9. The main gas valve opens to full fire. The main
burners are now at full fire. The unit continues a
full fi re until the second stage of the thermostat is
satisfi ed and no longer call for heat.
10. The main valve closes to low fi re. The main burners
are now at low fi re. The unit continues at lo w fi re until
the fi rst stage of the thermostat is satisfi ed and no
longer calls for heat.
11. The main and pilot valves closes.
12. The fan time delay remains closed, keeping the fan
operating to dissipate residual heat from the heat
exchanger. At this time, the fan time delay relay
opens and deactivates the fan motor.
ELECTRONIC MODULATING CONTROL
Units with electronic modulating control are provided
with an electronic modulating valve capab le of fi ring from
100 percent to 40 percent of rated input. Ignition is at
full fi re (100 percent of unit's rated input). The electronic
modulating valve is controlled by a room thermostat or
duct thermostat with remote setpoint adjustment which
modulates the gas input from 100 percent to 40 percent
of rated input.
An optional override room thermostat is available
for use with the duct thermostat. The override room
thermostat allows full fire and overrides the duct
thermostat when the room temperature falls below the
override room thermostat's setpoint.
With power applied to the unit, this system operates in
the following manner:
1. The thermostat calls for heat.
2. The pilot valve opens.
3. The ignitor sparks continuously to ignite the pilot.
4. The sensor proves pilot ignition and shuts off the
ignitor.
5. With the pilot lit, the main gas valve opens.
6. Main burners are lit at 100 percent of unit’s rated
input.
7. The fan time delay relay (optional on duct furnaces)
allows the heat exchanger to come up to operating
temperature. At this time the fan time delay relay
closes and activates the fan motor.
8. The unit is controlled by the electronic thermostat
which modulates the unit from 100 to 40 percent of
unit's rated input. The electronic thermostat can be
a duct sensing device or a room sensing device.
An amplifi er receives an electrical signal from the
thermostat and converts this into a working voltage.
This working voltage determines the position of the
modulating valve. With no voltage applied to the
valve, the valve will be full open and full fire will
occur. As increasing voltage is applied to the valve,
the valve will modulate closed. At approximately
12 volts dc, the valve will be at it's minimum fire
position. As temperature drops, the voltage also
drops causing the relay to reopen the valve. The
unit will continue to cycle in this manner until either
an increase in the unit's fi ring rate is required or the
sensing device is satisfied and no longer calls for
heat. If the voltage continues to increase, indicating
a further reduction in the unit's fi ring is required, the
increased voltage closes a relay which closes the
automatic gas valve.
9. When the sensing device is satisfi ed, the main and
pilot valves close.
10. The fan time delay relay remains closed keeping
the fan motor operating to dissipate residual heat
from the heat exchanger. At this time, the fan time
delay relay opens and deactivates the fan motor.

AIR DISTRIBUTION
Two basic air control systems are used to deliver
conditioned air to the occupied space: “constant” fan
operation and “intermittent” fan operation.
INTERMITTENT FAN OPERATION
This air control system is available on duct furnaces
when the fan time delay relay is ordered (optional). The
thermostat turns the gas on whenever the temperature
drops below the thermostat setting. The fan time delay
relay allows the unit to fi re for a period of 60 seconds
before fan operation. It also allows the fan to operate for
120 seconds after burner shutdown.
AIR THROUGHPUT
Static Pressure through the duct furnace should not
exceed 2.0 inches (0.50 kPa) water column. The
standard outdoor duct furnaces are operated at a
temperature rise range of 20° to 60°F (17° to 50°C)
rise. The furnaces are also available at a higher
temperature rise range of 30° - 90°F (17° - 50°C).
NOTICE: It is important that the final temperature
leaving the furnace does not exceed 150°F (66°C).
When final air throughput adjustments are being
made, a quick check of the final temperature can
be made by locating a thermometer approximately
6 to 12 inches (152 to 305 mm) downstream from
the air discharge and approximately 3 to 4 inches
(76 to 102 mm) from the bottom of the duct. The
unit should be operated at least 15 to 20 minutes
before temperature readings are made.
CONSTANT FAN OPERATION
Duct Furnaces: This air control system is standard
on duct furnaces without a fan time delay relay. The
blower operates constantly, circulating air through
the unit, through the discharge, continuously into the
occupied zone, and back to the return. The thermostat
turns the gas valve on or off, raising the temperature of
the air to maintain comfort conditions in the occupied
area.
AIR FILTERS (ON MATED AIR MOVING DEVICE)
It is recommended that air filters be changed or
cleaned at least twice a year. More frequent attention
will be required if the air being handled is unusually
dirty. Air fl ow reduction, caused by clogging air fi lters,
will increase the discharge air temperature and may
cause nuisance tripouts.
Filters (by others) should be serviced regularly and
changed or washed when necessary to maintain the
required throughput. In a dusty environment, fi lters may
clog up in less than one month. A clogged fi lter switch
is recommended to assist with fi lter maintenance.
A unit should never be allowed to
cycle over a prolonged period on the high limit.
The high limit is not an operating control. It is a
safety control to prevent a fire. If cycling on the
high limit is noted, corrective measures should be
taken immediately. Failure to do so could cause unit
damage and possible fi re .

Purge the gas line of air before attempting to light the
pilot in the unit. Wait 5 minutes for unbur ned gas to
vent. Check for gas leaks.
Never use an open flame to
detect gas leaks. Explosive conditions may
exist which could result in personal injury or
death.
The unit is furnished with an intermittent pilot ignition
system. A lighting instruction plate is permanently
attached to the unit for the pilot system supplied with
the unit. To set the intermittent pilot ignition system
in operation, proceed as follows:
1. Turn on the main manual valve and pilot valve.
2. Tur n on electrical power. The unit should now be
under the control of the thermostat.
3. Tur n the thermostat to the high heat reading to see
if the pilot and main burner ignite.
4. Turn the thermostat to the lowest setting to
interrupt power to the ignition system to determine
that both the pilot burner and main burner are
extinguished.
5. Set the ther mostat at the desired setting for normal
operation.
For complete shutdown:
1. Turn the main and pilot valves to the OFF
position.
2. Shut off electric power.
3. Adjust the thermostat to the lowest setting.
Figure 12 - Main Burner Flames
D3652
NOTICE: There may be momentary and spasmodic
orange flashes in the flame. This is caused by the
burning of airborne dust particles, and not to be
confused with the yellow tipping, which is a stable
or permanent situation when there is insufficient
primary air.

Page 18
PRIMARY AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT
After the unit has been operated for at least 15
minutes, adjust the primary air flow to the burners.
Turn the friction-locked, manually-rotated air shutters
clockwise to close, or counterclockwise to open.
PILOT ADJUSTMENT
1. With unit fi ring, remove the pilot adjustment cap.
2. Adjust the pilot screw to provide properly sized
fl ame.
GAS INPUT ADJUSTMENT
When shipped from the factory, all gas fired units are
equipped for the average BTU of the gas stamped on
the rating plate.
Since the BTU content of gases
varies in many localities, the input must be checked
after installation of the unit. If the unit is overfi red,
the overheating will substantially shorten the life of
the heat exchanger. Never exceed the input on the
rating plate.
The input may be checked by either the meter method
or the pressure of the gas in the manifold. A 1/8 inch
pipe tap is available on the body of the gas valve.
Never overfi re the unit heater, as this
may cause unsatisfactory operation or shorten the
life of the heater.
METER METHOD OF CHECKING INPUT:
1. Obtain the heating value of the gas from the
local utility. This should be in BTU per cubic foot
(MJ/m3).
2. Determine the cubic feet per minute of the gas as
shown in the following example. The rating plate
input should be taken from the unit as stamped on
the plate.
EXAMPLE: Assume this is a unit having an input of
250,000 BTU/hr. and the heating value of the gas to
be used in the furnace is 1000 BTU/hr.
For correct air adjustment, close the air shutter until
yellow tips in the flame appear. Then open the air
shutter to the point just beyond the position where
yellow tipping disappears.
3. A proper pilot flame is a soft steady flame that
envelopes 3/8 to 1/2 inch (9.5 to 12.7 mm) of the
fl ame sensor.
4. Replace the pilot adjustment cap.
250,000 BTU/hr.
INPUT=
1000 BTU/cu. ft. x 60 min/hr
= 41.7 cu feet per min.
Before checking the unit input, all other gas
appliances connected to the same meter must be
turned off.
3. Fire the unit according to instructions.
4. Observe on the meter dial the cubic feet of gas for
a period of fi ve minutes. This should be 41.7 cu ft.
per min. x 5 minutes, or 20.8 cu. feet. Minor input
adjustments can be made by moving the regulator
screw clockwise for increased input and counterclockwise for decreased input. Any appreciable
adjustment in input should be made by re-orifi cing.
MANIFOLD PRESSURE METHOD
OF CHECKING INPUT
1. Close the manual gas valve on the unit.
2. Install a 1/8 inch pipe connection in the tapped
hold provided on the valve body and a “U” tube or
manometer by means or a rubber hose.
3. Fire the unit and observe the pressure.
4. Small variations in gas pressure adjustment can
be made by means of the pressure regulator.
Remove the cap from the regulator. Tur ning the
screw clockwise will increase the input, and turning
it counterclockwise will decrease the input. The
adjusted manifold pressure should not vary more
than 10% from the pressures specifi ed in chart 5.

START-UP
Before starting the rooftop gas heating unit, use the
“Installation Check Sheet” (found at the end of this
manual) in conjunction with the procedures outlined
below to ensure that the unit is completely and properly
installed and ready for start-up.
1. Inspect all wiring connections; connections should
be clean and tight.
2. Trace circuits to ensure that actual wiring agrees
with the “as wired” diagrams provided with the
unit. Information in the title block of the wiring
diagram(s) should match the data appearing on the
unit nameplate.
3. Verify that the system switch is in the OFF position.
4. Check unit supply voltage to ensure that it is within
the utilization range.
5. Inspect the interior of the unit; remove any debris
or tools which may be present.
STARTING UNIT IN HEATING MODE
1. Close the unit disconnect switch(s) that provide
current to the unit control panel.
High voltage is present in some
areas of the control panel(s) with the unit
disconnect switch closed. Failure to exercise
caution when working around energized
electrical components may result in injury or
death from electrical shock.
2. Set the room thermostat/switching subbase as
indicated below:
a. position the heating system switch at either HEAT
or AUT O;
b. set the fan switch at AUTO; and,
c. adjust the temperature control setting to some
point above room temperature.
3. Place the system switch in the ON position.
With the thermostat calling for heating, unit operation is
automatic.
FINAL CHECKOUT
Run the unit sequentially through its stages of heating.
One proper unit operation is verifi ed, perform these fi nal
steps:
1. Inspect the unit for debris and/or misplaced tools
and hardware.
2. Be sure all gas valves and controls are in the
operating position if the unit will be operating
immediately
3. Secure all exterior panels in place.
– 19 –
Page 20
MAINTENANCE
Open all disconnect switches
and secure in that position before servicing unit.
Failure to do so may result in personal injury or
death from electrical shock.
Gas tightness of the safety shutoff valves must be chec ked on at least an ann ual
basis.
To check gas tightness of the safety shut-off valves,
turn off the manual valve upstream of the appliance
combination control. Remove the 1/8 inch pipe plug on
the inlet side of the combination control and connect a
manometer to that tapping. Turn the manual valve on
to apply pressure to the combination control. Note the
pressure reading on the manometer, then turn the valve
off. A loss of pressure indicates a leak. If a leak is detected,
use a soap solution to check all threaded connections. If
no leak is found, combination control is faulty and must
be replaced before putting appliance back in service.
Rooftop duct furnaces have been developed for
installation. Should maintenance be required,
following inspection and service routine: Inspect area
near the unit to be sure that there is no combustible
material located within minimum clearance requirements
(refer to Figures 1, 2 and 6). Service panels provide easy
access to the burner controls. To remove the service
door, refer to “Access Panel Removal” section (at the
beginning of this manual).
The pilot burner can be serviced by removing the pilot
plate from the main burner assembly.
To remove the main burner drawer assembly for
servicing the burners, proceed as follows:
1. Shut off the main gas valve and electrical power to
the gas duct furnace.
2. To slide out the burner drawer, the following two
procedures (a or b) may be chosen depending on
the complexity of the unit's controls:
a.) Disconnect the pilot burner gas tube. Break the
union between the automatic gas valve and
the burner manifold. Also break the union on
the discharge air end of the furnace (inside the
unit). Loosen the union located directly outside
of the furnace's bottom panel (refer to fi gure 9b).
Swing down this end of the piping to clear the
bottom of the burner drawer. The control and
piping assembly may be tied out of the way of
the pull-out drawer.
b.) Disconnect all wiring to the unit's controls.
Break the union located in the discharge end
of the furnace; loosen the external union, and
swing piping clear of the bottom of the drawer
(same procedure as a).
outdoor
perform the
3. Remove the locking screws holding the burner
drawer in position.
4. Slide the drawer out of the furnace.
5. Bur ners can be removed from the drawer by
raising the front of the burner and pushing it
against the hold-in spring until the front of the
burner comes out of the slot.
6. To clean or replace the main burners, slide out the
pullout drawer, and compress the spring by moving
the burner toward the manifold. Slide the opposite
end of the burner downward from the locating slot
while retaining spring is still compressed. Pull the
burners upward and out.
7. Remove any dirt, dust or other foreign matter from
the burners using a wire brush and/or compressed
air. Ensure that all parts are unobstructed. Inspect
and clean pilot burner if necessary.
8. Reassemble the gas duct furnace by replacing all
parts in order.
9. Complete the appropriate unit start-up procedure
as given in the “Start-Up” section of this manual.
10. Check the burner adjustment. See the “Primary Air
Shutter Adjustment” section of this manual.
11. Check all gas control valves and pipe connections
for leaks.
Under no circumstances should
combustible material be located within the
clearances specified in Figure 6. Failure to
provide proper clearance could result in
personal injury or equipment damage from fi re .
12. Check the operation of the automatic gas valve by
lowering the setting of the thermostat, stopping the
operation of the gas duct furnace. The gas valve
should close tightly, completely extinguishing the
fl ame on the main burners.
13. Check the operation of all safety devices.
14. Inspect and ser vice the blower section of the
system.
The outdoor unit should be thoroughly checked before
the start of the heating season. Check the air throughput as an added precaution to stay within the specifi ed
temperature limits.
If the unit is used with cooling equipment, periodic
maintenance should be scheduled throughout the year.
