5. With the heater operating determine that the inlet pressure to the heater for

natural gas is between 5 and 13.5 inches w.c. and for propane between 10

and 13.5 inches w.c. Take this reading as close as possible to the heater

(Heaters are equipped with gas valves that have an inlet pressure tap.) If the

inlet pressure is not within the specified range, the inlet pressure must be

corrected and Steps 3 and 4 repeated.

6. Find the High Altitude Adjustment label, P/N 197062, in the plastic bag with

this installation manual. Using a permanent marker, fill-in the appropriate

information from the tables below. Select a location for the label on the outside

of the heater access panel so that it will be conspicuous to anyone operating

or servicing the unit. Be sure the surface is clean and dry and adhere the

label.

The input and/or the capacity of the heater changes with the derate. The tables

below list inputs and capacities at altitudes from sea level to 10,000 ft (3045M).

1. Install the propane spring regulator kit in the gas valve. Follow the valve

manufacturer’s instructions that are included with the spring conversion kit.

2. Attach the propane disk near the gas valve.
3. Install the propane orifice. Refer to

FIGURE 28, page 37, and locate the gas

orifice. Carefully remove the natural gas orifice supplied on the heater. Install

the propane orifice.
