CONDENSATE TRAP AND DRAIN SYSTEM (QUALIFIED SERVICER
ONLY)
Annually inspect the drain tubes, drain trap, and field-supplied drain
line for proper condensate drainage. Check drain system for hose
connection tightness, blockage, and leaks. Clean or repair as
necessary.
FLAME SENSOR (QUALIFIED SERVICER ONLY)
Under some conditions, the fuel or air supply can create a nearly
invisible coating on the flame sensor. This coating acts as an
insulator causing a drop in the flame sense signal. If the flame
sense signal drops too low the furnace will not sense flame and
will lock out. The flame sensor should be carefully cleaned by a
qualified servicer using emery cloth or steel wool. Following clean-
ing, the flame sense signal should be as indicated in the Specifi-
cations Sheet.
FLUE PASSAGES (QUALIFIED SERVICER ONLY)
The heat exchanger flue passageways should be inspected at the
beginning of each heating season. If necessary, clean the pas-
sageways as outlined below.
1. Turn OFF the electrical power and gas supply to the furnace.
2. Disconnect the gas line and remove the burner/ manifold
assembly by removing the screws securing the assembly
to the partition panel.
3. Disconnect the flue pipe system from the induced draft
blower.
4. Remove the induced draft blower and, drain and pressure
tap hoses from the recuperator coil front cover.
5. Remove the recuperator coil front cover to expose the coil
tubes and turbulators.
6. Remove the recuperator coil turbulators individually by slowly
pulling each turbulator forward firmly.
7. Clean the recuperator coil tubes using a long handle wire
brush, such as a gun cleaning brush.
8. Clean the primary heat exchanger tubes using a wire brush
attached to a length of high grade stainless steel cable,
such as drain cleanout cable. Attach a variable speed
reversible drill to the other end of the cable. Slowly rotate
the cable with the drill and insert it into one of the heat
exchanger tubes. While reversing the drill, work the cable
in and out several times to obtain sufficient cleaning. Repeat
for each tube.
9. Clean residue from furnace using a vacuum cleaner.
10. Replace the parts removed in the previous steps in reverse
order.
11. Turn on electrical power and gas to furnace. Check for
leaks and proper unit operation.
12. Severe heat exchanger fouling is an indication of an
operational problem. Perform the checks listed in Section
XIV, Startup Procedure and Adjustments to reduce the
chances of repeated fouling.
