PRIMARY AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT
After the unit has been operating 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 (see Figures 12
and 14).
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. Refer to Figure 13.

* This schedule is for units operating at normal altitudes of 2000 feet (610m)
or less. SPECIAL ORIFICES ARE REQUIRED FOR INSTALLATIONS
ABOVE 2,000 FT. (610M).
When installed in Canada, any references to deration at altitudes in excess of
2000 feet (610m) are to be ignored. At altitudes of 2000 to 4500 feet (610 to
1372m), the unit heaters must be orifi ced to 90% of the normal altitude rating,
and be so marked in accordance with the ETL certifi cation.
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.

PILOT ADJUSTMENT
1. Remove the pilot adjustment cap.
2. Adjust the pilot screw to provide a properly sized
fl ame.
3. A proper pilot flame is a soft steady flame that
envelops 3/8 to 1/2-inch (9.5 to 12.7 mm) of the
thermocouple tip.
4. Replace the pilot adjustment cap.
MANIFOLD PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT
If the manifold pressure requires minor adjustment,
remove the cap from the pressure regulator and turn the
adjustment screw clockwise to increase the pressure,
or counterclockwise to decrease the pressure. The
adjusted manifold pressure should not vary more than
10% from the pressures specifi ed in Table 6.
