WARNING
Do not install the furnace on its front or its back. Do
not connect the return air ducts to the back of the fur-
nace. Doing so will adversely affect the operation of
the safety control devices, which could result in per-
sonal injury or death.
The SL280UHV gas furnace can be installed as shipped
in either the upflow position or the horizontal position.
Select a location that allows for the required clearances
that are listed on the unit nameplate. Also consider gas
supply connections, electrical supply, vent connection,
and installation and service clearances [24 inches (610
mm) at unit front]. The unit must be level.
NOTE − Units with 1/2 hp blower motors are equipped with
three flexible legs and one rigid leg. See figure 6. The rigid
leg is equipped with a shipping bolt and a flat white plastic
washer (rather than the rubber mounting grommet used
with a flexible mounting leg). The bolt and washer must
be removed before the furnace is placed into opera-
tion. After the bolt and washer have been removed, the rig-
id leg will not touch the blower housing.
