INSTALLATION 4. Support piping so that no strains are imposed on unit or Piping controls. 5. Use two wrenches when connecting piping to unit controls. CAUTION ! 6. Provide a sediment trap before each unit and in the line where low spots cannot be avoided. (See Figure 4). Gas pressure to unit heater controls must never exceed 14" W.C. (1/2 psi). 7. Take-off to unit should come from top or side of main to avoid trapping condensate. When leak testing the gas supply piping system, the appliance and

OPERATION Figure 7 CAUTION Correct Pilot Flame Pilot Flame Adjustment Start-up and adjustment procedures should be performed by a qualified serviceman. Check the gas inlet pressure at the unit upstream of the combination gas control. The inlet pressure should be 6"-7" W.C. on natural gas or 12"-14" W.C. on propane. If inlet pressure is too high, install an additional pressure regulator upstream of the combination gas control. The pilot flame must be adjusted as described below. Purging of air fr
