FAULT CAUSE CORRECTIVE ACTION
Noisy
Operation
- Supply gas problem. Natural gas pressures
should be between 4 inches w.c. (1.0 kPa)
and 14 inches w.c. (3.5 kPa). LP gas
pressures should be between 8 inches w.c.
(2.0 kPa) and 14 inches w.c. (3.2 kPa).
• Refer to Section 7 - Gas Connections of the Armor X2
Installation and Operation Manual for detailed
information concerning the gas supply.
- Gas/air mixture problem.
Refer to the Gas Valve Adjustment Procedure on
page 50 of this manual for the proper gas valve setting.
