INSTALLATION GUIDELINES  
Codes  
All local codes and regulations take precedence over the instructions in this manual and  
shall be followed accordingly. In the absence of local codes, this installation must  
conform to these instructions and to the regulations of the National Fire Protection  
Association (NFPA) publications, the Standard for the Installation of Oil-Burning  
Equipment, NFPA 31-2001, and the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-2002, or  
the latest editions thereof. To obtain copies of these publications for a fee, contact the  
NFPA at the address given in Appendix A of this manual.  
Installation Location  
c WARNING:  
These furnaces are designed for indoor installation ONLY.  
These furnaces are NOT to be used as construction heaters.  
DO NOT hang the horizontal / counterflow furnace from a structure, or  
surface, by any integral part or fastener of the furnace. The furnace was  
not designed to support itself in this manner.  
In as much as practical, the furnace should be positioned near a chimney or vent and  
should be centralized with respect to the air distribution system.  
For a utility room installation, the entrance door must be wide enough to permit the  
largest part of the furnace to pass through the doorway or allow sufficient clearance to  
permit the replacement of another appliance, e.g. a water heater, in the room.  
If the furnace is installed in a residential garage, it must be installed so the burner is  
located higher than 18 inches above the floor, unless the required combustion air is  
taken from the exterior of the garage. Also, the furnace must be located or protected to  
avoid physical damage from impacts by vehicles.  
Highboy and lowboy furnace models must rest on sturdy, stable, and level surfaces.  
The horizontal / counterflow model may be mounted on a level surface, as described  
above, or it may be suspended from an overhead structure or surface. If this model is  
suspended from hanger rods, support the furnace from the bottom casing surface  
at three (3) places, across both ends of the casing and across the casing, near the  
middle of the furnace. Generally, a simple support frame for the furnace can be  
fabricated from structural steel angle, threaded steel rod, and fastener hardware, refer  
to Figure 1. Adjust the height of the support angles to level the unit in position.

Figure 1: Recommended Support Frame for Horizontal / Counterflow Furnaces  
Closet and Alcove Installation  
All furnace models may be installed in a closet or alcove on combustible flooring with  
specified (standard) clearances to combustible construction. The horizontal /  
counterflow furnace model requires an optional combustible surface-mounting  
base (model # CSFB-HC68) for vertical installation (i.e., counterflow  
configuration) directly on combustible materials, refer to Figure 2.  
Figure 2: Counterflow Furnace Combustible Surface-Mounting Base  
Standard Clearances  
Standard clearances are mandatory minimum clearances from heated surfaces of the  
furnace to combustible materials to assure protection from fire hazard during furnace  
operation. (Refer to the Standard for the Installation of Oil-Burning Equipment, NFPA  
31-2001, for definitions of combustible and non-combustible materials.)

Accessibility clearances, which are typically greater, may exceed fire protection  
clearances. Therefore, consider providing at least 24 inches of clearance from the front  
(and the rear, for lowboy furnaces) of the furnace to obstructions and surfaces for  
adequate service and maintenance access.  
The minimum clearances from furnace casing surfaces to combustible materials are:  
3 inches from casing sides and rear  
8 inches from front casing of furnace to the closet door, with exception of:  
o the lowboy rear flue model only requires 3 inches from front casing of the  
furnace to the closet door  
o the horizontal / counterflow furnace requires 22 inches from front casing of  
the furnace to the closet door  
9 inches from flue pipe/vent connector  
3 inches from casing top  
3 inches from any side of supply air plenum  
3 inches above supply air ducts, within 6 feet of furnace  
For the horizontal / counterflow furnace only, when the optional combustible  
surface-mounting base is used with the furnace in the counterflow configuration,  
adequate clearances from the supply end surface of the furnace casing to  
combustible surfaces are provided by the design of the mounting base.  
Though these are approved clearances for these furnaces, space must be provided at  
the front (18 inches minimum, 24 inches recommended) and at the rear of the furnace  
for access, service, and replacement of the oil burner, air filter(s), circulating air blower,  
and fan motor.  
Air for Combustion and Ventilation  
c CAUTION: Relief openings in the front or top of the furnace casing should not  
be obstructed or blocked. These openings supply combustion and ventilation air  
to the furnace.  
Chloride, fluoride, iodide, and bromide bearing compounds when present, even in low  
concentrations, in air supplied for combustion to the furnace, can result in accelerated  
and severe corrosion of the heat exchanger and/or the venting system. This condition  
can occur with less efficient furnaces, but is more likely to happen on furnaces with  
efficiencies of 80% or greater.

Often, household chemicals contain chloride-bearing compounds. There are many  
compounds representative of this classification of chemicals. A few common examples  
are listed below.  
Cleaning solvents  
Varnish and paint removers  
Bleaches  
Fabric softeners  
Water softener salt  
Tile adhesives  
Avoid storing or using these chemicals within close proximity to the furnace. In addition,  
avoid storing or using any chemicals, of an unknown and possibly flammable nature, in  
close proximity to the furnace. If it is necessary to store or use chemicals in the same  
space as the furnace, the area should be well-ventilated and all containers should be  
sealed when not in use. If possible, keep chemicals in a separate, well ventilated, room  
closed off from the furnace with a door.  
The furnace shall be installed in a location within the building that permits a satisfactory  
supply of air for combustion, ventilation, and proper operation of the venting system.  
While all forms of building construction cannot be covered in detail in this manual, this  
requirement may usually be met by application of one of the following methods in  
ordinary building construction. However, applicable local installation codes always take  
precedence and shall be followed.  
The content of certain pertinent passages of NFPA 31-2001 on methods to obtain and  
ensure adequate airflow to the furnace has been excerpted and, in some cases,  
paraphrased below for reference purposes. Consult the Standard for the Installation of  
Oil-Burning Equipment, NFPA 31-2001, for special cases and further details.  
1. Utility Room (example of a confined space)  
a. In buildings of conventional construction with normal air infiltration, two (2)  
permanent openings connecting to a well-ventilated crawl space, attic, or  
another large, well-ventilated internal area shall be provided. Each opening  
shall have a minimum free area of one (1) square inch per 1000 BTUH of total  
input rate (sum of the individual appliance input rates) of all appliances to be  
installed in the utility room. One opening should be located near, or in, the  
ceiling of the room and the other should be located near, or in, the floor.  
b. In buildings of unusually tight construction (e.g. those having continuous  
water vapor barriers; tightly-fitting, or weather-stripped, doors and windows;  
and gasketed, caulked, or sealed outer wall joints and penetrations), wherein  
infiltration and air exchange with the outdoors is very limited (0.35 air changes  
per hour, or less), provision must be made to provide sufficient air for  
combustion. The following method will usually be adequate to ensure  
sufficient airflow into the space.  
8
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Provide two (2) permanent openings, one (1) located within 12 inches of the  
floor and one (1) within 12 inches of the ceiling, or roof, of the room. These  
openings shall allow for direct exchange of air between the room and  
outdoors. If required, ducting between the room and the outdoors shall be  
provided.  
For horizontally -oriented ducts, each opening shall have a minimum free  
area of one (1) square inch per 2000 BTUH of the total input rate (sum of  
the individual appliance input rates) of all appliances to be installed in the  
room.  
For vertically -oriented ducts, the minimum free area may be reduced to  
one (1) square inch per 4000 BTUH of the total input rate (sum of the  
individual appliance input rates) of all appliances to be installed in the  
room.  
The minimum dimension of any air opening shall not be less than 3-  
inches.  
When an opening in the outside wall must be provided, it should be  
furnished with properly screened metal sleeves.  
2. Full Basement (example of an unconfined space)  
a. Where a furnace is installed in a full basement, in a building of conventional  
construction with normal air infiltration, infiltration is normally adequate to  
provide air for combustion and ventilation.  
b. In buildings of unusually tight construction (such as those where weather  
stripping and storm sash windows are used, and where basement windows  
are also weather-stripped), one (1) permanent opening connecting to a well-  
ventilated attic, or with the outdoors shall be provided, using a duct, if  
necessary. This opening shall have a minimum free area of one (1) square  
inch per 5000 BTUH of total input rate (sum of the individual appliance input  
rates) of all appliances to be installed in the basement.  
When an opening in the outside wall must be provided, it should be furnished  
with properly screened metal sleeves.  
If an exhaust fan, additional air consuming machines (e.g. an air compressor), or a  
return air grill is present in the furnace room, there should be increased concern about  
providing adequate airflow to the furnace. Additional efforts may be required to assure  
an adequate supply of combustion and ventilation air is available to the furnace under  
all conditions.

Chimney Inspection  
The chimney, vent, or any passageway for the stack gases to flow to the outdoor  
atmosphere is a very important part of the heating system. No furnace, regardless of the  
efficiency of the design, can perform satisfactorily when the chimney to which it is  
connected is inadequate or in poor condition. Any of the following symptoms may  
indicate a chimney has severe structural damage and is unsuitable for use.  
Chimney appears to be leaning to the side.  
Chimney appears to have structural damage, i.e. loose or missing blocks or  
bricks, or excessive deterioration at mortar joints.  
Tile liner damaged or missing.  
Flue gas leakage along the length of the chimney between the chimney  
connector and discharge termination.  
Excessive corrosion at the cleanout port or at the chimney connector entrance  
into the chimney.  
Structural debris, i.e. mortar or tile liner flakes, in base of the flue way.  
A qualified person shall inspect the chimney to confirm it is correctly sized for the  
application, properly constructed, and in sound condition. Refer to the Standard for the  
Installation of Oil-Burning Equipment, NFPA 31-2001, for details on proper chimney  
sizing and construction. If needed, the chimney should be cleaned before installing the  
furnace. Any accumulation of dirt or debris at the bottom of the flue should be removed.  
Flue / Chimney / Vent Connector  
c CAUTION:  
DO NOT install a manual damper in the chimney or vent connector.  
Motorized and thermally- activated type vent dampers are NOT  
recommended for use on these furnaces.  
It is desirable to install the shortest vent connector (also referred to as a flue or chimney  
connector) possible with the fewest number of fittings, i.e. transitions and elbows.  
Generally, 6-inch diameter, 24 Ga. or heavier, single wall, lock seam-type, galvanized  
steel vent pipe and fittings are satisfactory materials for the fabrication of a vent  
connector. However, always consult local codes and authorities for specific minimum  
requirements.  
For some installations, it may be prudent to turn the furnace flue elbow 90 degrees  
clockwise, with respect to the front of the furnace, such that the elbow is open to the  
right-hand side of the unit, rather than upward. Turning the flue elbow may better  
facilitate connection of the vent connector piping to the flue elbow on the highboy and  
front flue, lowboy furnaces. Due to the presence of the fan and limit control and the  
wiring harness, the elbow may not be rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise. The  
installer must carefully mark and cut a hole in the furnace housing to allow the vent  
connector to pass through the housing.  
10

If desired, with the furnace flue elbow turned to the right, the standard furnace top front  
panel (p/n 52-17346-1) may be replaced with the top front panel from the rear flue  
lowboy model (p/n 52-17383-1). Refer to Appendix D: Replacement Parts for sketches  
of these parts. Contact your Crown distributor to purchase this part.  
All horizontal sections of the vent connector must slope upward not less than ¼ inch per  
foot from the furnace to the vent termination. Long horizontal sections of the venting  
system must be supported at least every five (5) feet with metal straps to prevent  
sagging of the vent piping. Secure all joints in the vent connector with sheet metal  
screws or equivalent fasteners. Vent piping must not be inserted beyond the inside wall  
of the chimney flue.  
Power (Side-Wall) Venting – Important Note Regarding  
c CAUTION: Crown Boiler Company will NOT assume responsibility for damage  
to, and deterioration of, exterior building materials, e.g. brick, siding, clapboards,  
and etc., in close proximity to the vent terminal due to operation of a power  
vented, oil furnace. This policy is applicable regardless of the cause of sooting.  
Two (2) problems typically arise when power venting any oil-fired appliance.  
1) Soot buildup may occur at an accelerated rate on critical components of the  
furnace oil burner, e.g. the primary control flame sensor (“cad cell”), the burner  
head, and oil nozzle.  
2) Severe damage may occur to external surfaces of the structure in the event the  
furnace continually produces a high level of smoke in the flue gases. Excess  
smoke and soot can be produced for many reasons, some of which cannot be  
successfully controlled by the installer and the appliance manufacturer.  
NOTICE: Crown Boiler recommends the use of a chimney to vent residential oil  
furnaces. If a power venter must be used, it is the responsibility of the installer  
and power venter manufacturer to design, assemble, and demonstrate proper  
operation of the power venting system with the furnace.  
Draft Regulator  
A barometric-type, draft regulator is supplied with the furnace. Installation or operating  
conditions that produce excess amounts of draft can reduce the heating efficiency of the  
furnace. The purpose of the regulator is to adjust and control the flow of flue gases from  
the furnace by stabilizing the amount of chimney draft to which the furnace is subjected.  
Generally, install the barometric draft regulator in the vent connector as close as  
possible to the flue outlet collar of the furnace. However, always refer to the draft  
regulator  
manufacturer’s  
installation  
instructions  
for  
application  
specific  
recommendations.

Duct Work and Air Conditioning  
Design and installation of the duct system should follow the current guidelines of the Air  
Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA) or the American Society of Heating,  
Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers, Inc. (ASHRAE). Refer to the Residential  
Duct Systems, Manual D, from the ACCA, and the ASHRAE Handbook Fundamentals  
volume, from ASHRAE, for recommended practices in duct system design and  
installation. To obtain copies of these publications for a fee, contact the ACCA and the  
ASHRAE at the addresses given in Appendix A of this manual.  
All furnaces are tested over a range of external static pressure that simulates the airflow  
resistance of the ductwork, fittings, and diffusers connected to the furnace for a typical  
(average) duct system. The furnace blower and blower motor have been selected to  
work successfully against the following range of duct system resistance.  
Recommended range of duct system resistance for all models: 0.2 to 0.5 in. W.G.  
external static pressure.  
Due to the need to maintain an adequate supply of combustion and ventilation air, the  
furnace shall not be installed in small room without return air duct system. A duct the full  
size of the furnace return air opening shall extend to a location outside the furnace  
room.  
If the furnace is used in connection with summer air conditioning (cooling), the furnace  
should be installed in parallel with, or on the upstream side of, the evaporator coil to  
avoid water vapor condensation in the furnace heat exchanger. If the cooling unit is  
installed in a parallel flow arrangement, dampers (or other means used to control  
airflow) should be provided to prevent chilled air from entering the furnace. If such a  
damper is manually operated, it must be equipped with a means to prevent operation of  
either unit, unless the damper is placed in either the full heat or full cool position.  
NOTICE: Return air grilles and supply registers in the air distribution system  
should never be obstructed.  
Air Filter Mounting  
c CAUTION: If cutting openings in the furnace casing is required, DO NOT cut  
any supporting clips or angles. Cut as close to the scribed line as possible, but  
DO NOT cut the base clip or blower pan support angle.  
Lowboy furnaces are factory-equipped with permanent-type, air filters located above the  
blower compartment, in the rear of the furnaces.  
NOTICE: Horizontal / counterflow furnaces are not factory-equipped with an air  
filter or filter rack. Furthermore, the furnace blower compartment does not contain  
enough free space to permit an air filter to be mounted within the furnace casing.  
However, the installer should supply, or fabricate, a filter rack and mount an air filter in  
the return air plenum above, or upstream of, the furnace blower compartment.  
12  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
On the highboy furnace, it is necessary to cut the return air opening in the lower side, or  
rear, of the casing depending upon the needs of the specific installation, refer to Figure  
3.  
Figure 3: Cutaway view of fan section of a typical highboy furnace.  
The side casings have each been pre-punched with four (4), square, knockout openings  
for use in locating the proper position for the return air filter rack. On the side of the  
furnace, where the return air duct will attach, scribe a line connecting the outside edges  
of the knockout openings to form a rectangle. Using a punch, or a large screwdriver,  
and a hammer, remove the knockouts and cut the return air opening in the casing.  
Sheet metal shears, or a power metal cutting tool, will be required to cut the casing.  
Position the open end of the filter rack to the front of the furnace to permit access for  
filter replacement. Align the filter rack with the rectangular hole and mark the locations  
on the casing of the pre-punched mounting holes in the filter rack flange. Drill pilot holes  
in the casing and permanently attach the filter rack to the furnace with screws, or pop-  
rivets (these fasteners are not included). Connect the return air plenum to the filter rack  
and slide the air filter into position.

Electrical Connections  
NOTICE: All field wiring must conform to local, state, and national installation  
codes.  
A disconnecting switch equipped with overcurrent protection rated at 15 A. (e.g. a time  
delay-type fuse or inverse time, circuit breaker) should be installed in the service line for  
shutting down and protecting the furnace and electrical system.  
Since the furnace is entirely pre-wired at the factory, it is only necessary to connect the  
building electrical service lines to the two (2) pigtail wires extending from the fan center  
junction box. The fan center is mounted inside the furnace burner compartment or  
mounted on the front exterior of the furnace, in the case of the horizontal / counterflow  
model. The service lines to the furnace should be no smaller than 14 Ga., insulated  
copper wire with a temperature rating of 60ºC, or greater.  
Connect an equipment ground wire to the furnace at the fan center junction box. If  
wiring is run through metal electrical conduit, it may not be necessary to run a separate  
equipment ground wire. Consult local codes and authorities for specific minimum  
requirements.  
A two (2) wire connection to the room thermostat from the oil primary control is also  
necessary. This is typically a low voltage (24 VAC) circuit. Consult the National  
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-2002, for guidelines for proper wiring methods and  
materials for this circuit.  
Refer to the electrical diagrams contained in Appendix B of this manual for an electrical  
schematic, a connection diagram, and operating instructions.  
Room Thermostat  
A room thermostat is not furnished with this furnace. However, a thermostat is required  
to properly operate the furnace control system in a typical residential heating  
application.  
14  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
The room thermostat should be located on an interior wall in the natural circulating path  
of the room air.  
The thermostat should not be installed in a location where it is directly exposed to,  
cold air infiltration, i.e. drafts from outside openings such as windows and doors,  
air currents produced by supply air registers, and  
heat from a nearby source, such as a fireplace, electrical appliances, lamps,  
solar radiation, a wall enclosing warm air ducts, a chimney, or a flue gas vent.  
These phenomena will adversely influence the operation of the thermostat, preventing it  
from properly controlling the room temperature. Conversely, avoid installing the room  
thermostat in a location where the natural circulation of air is blocked, such as behind  
doors, in shelves, or in corners.  
Generally, a room thermostat should be set at the lowest temperature that is  
comfortable to the building occupants. This will result in the lowest cost to heat the  
building.  
Combustion Chamber  
The furnace combustion chamber is a hollow, circular cylinder sealed at the bottom end  
and open at the top end. The chamber is made of a lightweight, insulating, “soft”,  
refractory material. The refractory material is composed of organically bound, alumina-  
silica fibers that provide a high temperature region for combustion of the oil to occur.  
This type of material exhibits quiet operation and improved combustion efficiency due to  
faster heat-up times compared to hard, dense, ceramic refractory materials.  
Oil Burner and Oil Nozzle Installation  
c CAUTION: This oil furnace is designed to use No. 2 distillate fuel (home  
heating) oil only.  
This furnace is designed to utilize any one (1) of the following four (4), specially  
modified, oil burners interchangeably:  
R.W. Beckett Corp. model AF burner, specification #’s CI3701 & CI3702,  
R.W. Beckett Corp. model NX burner, specification # CI4002  
Carlin Combustion Technology, Inc. model EZ-1HP, specification #  
8528200BCLBR1, and  
Riello Canada Inc. model 40-F3, specification # C8511477.  
NOTICE: NO other burners may be used in this application.  
The heat output from the furnace is fixed, based on the size of nozzle installed in the oil  
burner. Four (4) heat input rates are permissible: 85,000, 105,000, 120,000, and  
140,000 BTUH.  
For the Riello 40-F3 burner option only, the maximum heat input rate is  
133,000 BTUH.  
15  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Nozzle selection (i.e. heating capacity of the furnace) shall be based on a rate of heat  
loss (heating load) calculation for the building. These calculations should be made  
according to the manuals provided by the Air Conditioning Contractors of America  
(ACCA) or the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning  
Engineers, Inc. (ASHRAE).  
Refer to the Residential Load Calculation, Manual J, from the ACCA, and the ASHRAE  
Handbook Fundamentals volume, from ASHRAE, for the recommended procedure to  
compute the design heating load of a residence. To obtain copies of these publications  
for a fee, contact the ACCA and the ASHRAE at the addresses given in Appendix A of  
this manual.  
The oil burner is shipped in a separate carton from the furnace. In the field, it is  
necessary to mount the oil burner, secure it to the furnace, and connect the wiring  
harness to complete the installation. Refer to the following steps.  
1) Remove the oil burner from the shipping carton and remove any shipping  
materials adhering to the burner.  
2) If it is necessary to adjust the heating capacity of the furnace, by changing the oil  
burner nozzle, refer to these instructions. Also, consult the oil burner  
manufacturer’s operating instructions (included with the burner) for detailed  
instructions on this procedure.  
a) The oil nozzle is factory installed in the oil burner. To change the oil  
nozzle, remove the nozzle through the front end of the burner air tube. (If  
the oil burner is already installed, the oil burner can be removed from the  
heat exchanger mounting plate to gain access to the nozzle. Alternatively,  
the nozzle and electrode assembly may be removed from the rear of the  
burner assembly without removing the oil burner from the furnace.)  
b) Install an appropriate replacement nozzle of the correct size, spray angle,  
and spray type. Refer to the Specification Sheets, in Appendix C of this  
manual, for nozzle recommendations.  
3) The furnace may have been handled roughly while in transit. Under some  
conditions, the combustion chamber can shift out of position. Check for proper  
alignment of the burner air tube with the circular opening in the combustion  
chamber and trial fit the burner to check the insertion depth of the oil burner into  
the combustion chamber.  
The end of the burner air tube should be inserted no farther than 1/4 inch back  
from the inside surface of the combustion chamber, refer to Figure 4. Do not  
allow the burner tube/end cone to physically touch or protrude into the chamber.  
High temperatures in the combustion chamber can result in damage to the tube,  
the end cone, or both. A distance greater than 1/4 inch back from the inside  
chamber wall may cause flame impingement on the combustion chamber wall  
and subsequent sooting or carbon char buildup.

the combustion chamber opening to provide a seal, keeping hot combustion  
gases within the chamber.  
6) Insert and secure the cable or conduit from the wiring harness in the burner  
junction box. Snap together the two (2) mating, multipin quick connections, on  
the wiring harness from the furnace fan center and the wiring harness of the oil  
burner, inside the burner junction box.  
For the Riello 40-F3 burner only, wiring connections are made inside  
the burner sound cover (an orange sheet metal shroud covering the  
front of the burner). Secure the cable or conduit to the burner  
enclosure back plate.  
The oil burner provided with this furnace requires initial inspection, set-up, and proper  
adjustment. Refer to this manual and the oil burner manufacturer’s operating  
instructions for detailed information on the following items.  
Initial firing of burner  
Adjusting the burner combustion air  
Adjusting the fuel pump pressure  
Setting the draft control  
NOTICE: This oil furnace must be installed and adjusted by only qualified oil  
heating contractor using calibrated combustion test instruments to ensure safe  
and reliable operation of the furnace.  
Fuel System Installation  
In situations where the oil storage tank is installed at the same level with, or above, the  
burner, a single oil supply line run from the oil tank to the burner will be usually be  
adequate. No return line will be required. If the oil tank is installed below the burner and  
the lift exceeds approximately 8-ft. (6-1/2 ft. for the Riello 40-F3 burner), an oil supply  
line and an oil return line are recommended.  
Refer to the Standard for the Installation of Oil-Burning Equipment, NFPA 31-2001, and  
the oil burner operating instructions for detailed information on oil storage tank & oil  
supply/return line installation.  
NOTICE: We recommend installing a high efficiency oil filter, in the oil supply line,  
capable of filtering 10 to 20 micron diameter (or preferably smaller) particles from  
the fuel.  
If available, the use of ultra-low or low sulfur (less than 0.0015% S and 0.0015 -  
0.05% S, by weight, respectively), no. 2 fuel oil is highly recommended. Low sulfur  
fuel oil can help to significantly reduce instances of blockage and corrosion of the oil  
burner fuel delivery system (especially the nozzle), the furnace heat exchanger, and the  
flue gas venting system. Air pollutants emitted by the furnace and the typical  
malodorous smell of oil combustion will be reduced.

Horizontal / Counterflow Furnace Setup  
The horizontal / counterflow furnace is shipped from the factory upright for vertical  
installation (counterflow configuration). If the furnace is to be installed lying down on the  
right-hand or left-hand side (horizontal configuration), the positions of the oil burner and  
the fan and limit control thermostat may have to be changed. The horizontal furnace  
may be turned end for end, or rotated, making the top into the bottom, as shown in  
Figure 6. Refer to the following instructions for installing the oil burner and thermostat.  
Figure 6: A horizontal furnace rotated 180° (or flipped end for end) to reverse  
airflow direction  
1) When the furnace is installed in the horizontal configuration, the oil burner  
must be mounted in an upright position. It will be necessary to cutoff one (1) of  
the threaded burner-mounting studs before attempting to install the burner. Trial  
fit the burner to the burner mounting plate to determine which stud to remove. (A  
rotary tool with a cutting (abrasive) disk or a hacksaw should work well to remove  
the stud.) A machine screw (furnished with the parts package) will substitute for  
the removed stud and provide a third point to secure the burner flange to the  
burner mounting plate. Thread the screw through the burner-mounting flange and  
into the open hole within the burner mounting plate.  
2) Install the flange gasket and the burner on the mounting plate threaded studs.  
Using fasteners supplied in the parts bag with each furnace [use two (2) or three  
(3) 5/16 in. brass hex nuts and flat washers, as required], secure the burner to  
the mounting studs on the burner mounting plate.  
3) Secure the electrical conduit of the wiring harness to the oil burner junction box  
(or for the Riello burner, the burner enclosure back plate) with the hardware  
provided.

4) When the furnace is installed in the horizontal configuration, the high limit  
and fan control must also be located in the upper position on the casing when the  
furnace is placed in the final installed position, refer to Figure 7. If the control  
must be relocated, remove the cover of the control to gain access to the  
mounting screws. Remove the mounting screws and the control. Insert the  
control into the alternate mounting hole in the casing and mark the screw  
locations. Drill pilot holes for the new screws. Install the control in the new  
mounting location and secure it with the mounting screws. Replace the cover of  
the control. A metal, snap-in cap is furnished with the furnace to close the  
unused hole, for the control, in the casing.

INITIAL OPERATION OF THE FURNACE  
Initial Burner Operation  
c WARNING: To avoid possible explosion, DO NOT attempt to light the burner if:  
Oil has accumulated in the base of the combustion chamber.  
The furnace is full of fuel vapors.  
The combustion chamber is very hot.  
c CAUTION: The oil burner must be installed and adjusted using recently (within  
the last year) calibrated combustion instruments by a qualified heating contractor  
prior to placing the furnace in operation. Refer to this manual and the oil burner  
instruction manual for details.  
c CAUTION:  
To minimize initial fuel oil and combustion odors, ventilate the building  
well while operating the furnace for the first time.  
Do not run the oil pump dry (without oil) for more than two (2) minutes.  
Damage to the oil pump may result.  
To initially operate the furnace:  
1) Turn the electrical disconnecting switch to the “OFF” position.  
2) Set the room thermostat above room temperature.  
3) Be sure the oil tank is full of clean # 2 fuel oil.  
4) Open all shutoff valves in the oil line.  
5) Turn on the electrical disconnecting switch and prime the burner oil pump  
according to the pump manufacturer’s instructions.  
6) When ignition is established, make a temporary air adjustment for a clean,  
smoke-free flame. At this point, the final burner adjustment should be made  
using test instruments to measure oil pump pressure, smoke number, carbon  
dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), draft, and flue gas temperature.  
Refer to item (4) under the Troubleshooting section of this manual for a list  
of required test instruments.  
In order to achieve the best combustion efficiency, the following procedure is  
recommended.  
21  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
7) Measure the oil pump pressure. If required, adjust it to deliver the  
appropriate pressure for the burner. The oil pump should be set to produce,  
130 PSIG, for the R.W. Beckett model AF burner,  
150 PSIG, for the R.W. Beckett model NX burner,  
140 PSIG, for the Carlin Combustion model EZ-1HP, and  
150 PSIG, for the Riello model 40-F3.  
NOTICE: On the Riello model 40-F3 burner only, the oil pump port threads  
conform to British Standard Parallel Pipe (BSPP) thread design. Pressure  
gages or pipefittings with American National Standard Taper Pipe (NPT)  
threads will NOT mate with the BSPP design. Special gages compatible with  
BSPP thread, or adapter fittings, are required.  
8) Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and Carbon Monoxide (CO) – In order to assure that  
proper and safe combustion is taking place, carbon dioxide and carbon  
monoxide measurements must be taken. A CO2 reading within the limits of  
Table 1 with no measurable CO is desirable. The maximum acceptable CO  
reading is about 50 PPM. If the CO reading is too high, open the burner air  
shutter, or air band, slightly to permit more combustion air to the flame.  
Recheck the CO level and adjust as required.  
NOTICE: On the Riello 40-F3 burner only, it will be necessary to remove  
the oil burner sound cover to make adjustments to the oil pump pressure and  
airflow. The presence of the burner sound cover over the burner acts to  
restrict airflow to the burner. Thus, combustion quality will be adversely  
affected when the cover is installed after airflow adjustments are made. If  
adjustments to burner airflow are made w/o the burner cover, it is necessary  
to confirm these adjustments produce satisfactory smoke, carbon dioxide,  
and carbon monoxide readings w/ the burner cover installed. Repeated  
adjustments and tests may be required.  
9) Draft – Draft measurements should be taken through the overfire port and in  
the vent connector, not more than 12 inches away from the furnace outlet. A  
5/16 in. hex washer head bolt plugs the overfire port in the burner mounting  
plate. Remove the bolt and insert a suitable draft measurement gage. After  
the chimney (or stack gas passageway) has warmed up to operating  
temperature, approximately 15 to 20 minutes of burner operation, adjust the  
barometric damper to obtain the correct overfire draft reading. The overfire  
draft should read 0.02 in. W.G. The draft measured at the flue (stack draft)  
should read no more than 0.05 in. W.G.  
NOTICE: The overfire draft is the more important measurement and  
should be used to adjust the setting of the barometric draft control.  
22

10) Flue Gas Temperature – The flue gas temperature will vary depending on  
heat input rate, air temperature rise across the heat exchanger, and air  
flowrate through the furnace. To prevent excessive water vapor condensation  
from the flue gases, the gross flue gas temperature should not fall below  
330ºF. In addition, if the gross flue gas temperature exceeds 650ºF, the  
heating efficiency of the furnace will be reduced.  
To reduce high flue temperatures, after properly adjusting the burner, check  
for blocked supply/return airflow. Remove any blockages, increase fan  
speed, or consider reducing the furnace heat input rate. Also, verify there is  
no air leakage into the combustion chamber from around the burner mounting  
flange or heat exchanger mounting plate. If flue gas temperatures are too low,  
consider increasing the heat input rate or reducing the amount of  
supply/return airflow.  
11) Cycle the furnace several times to verify the burner lights off and shutsdown  
smoothly without excessive noise or smoke production.

a problem.  
Supply/Return Airflow and Air Temperature  
The supply/return airflow shall be set to obtain an air temperature rise, across the  
furnace, in the range of 70 to 100ºF. Since the flow resistance of each duct system is  
slightly different, the airflow (fan speed) may have to be changed in the field to achieve  
a satisfactory temperature rise.  
23  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
One way to measure the temperature rise across the furnace is to insert temperature  
measuring devices (e.g. thermometers) into the return air duct and into the supply air  
duct about 12 inches from the furnace. After the furnace has been firing continually for  
over 20 minutes, read the temperature difference between the two (2) thermometers.  
The temperature difference should not exceed 100ºF, nor be less than 70ºF. A  
temperature rise of 85ºF is considered to be optimum for comfort. For better energy  
efficiency, a temperature rise closer to 70ºF is recommended.  
The blower (fan) speed fan is adjusted by changing the fan motor winding energized by  
the control system. The furnace is set on the lowest fan speed, “L”, at the factory, refer  
to Table 2. To adjust the fan speed, follow this procedure.  
a. Turn off all electrical power to the furnace at the disconnecting switch.  
b. Remove the blower compartment access door.  
c. Move the orange wire from the low speed terminal block, marked “L”, to the next  
higher fan speed (medium low), marked “ML” on the terminal block, refer to  
Figure 8. Other available higher fan speeds are medium high, marked “MH” and  
high, marked “H”.  
NOTICE: The red wire is normally positioned on the high fan speed, for  
cooling applications. However, the red wire may be moved to another  
terminal block position, as required.  
d. Replace the blower compartment access door.  
e. Restore electrical power to the furnace at the disconnecting switch.  
With the furnace operating, measure the air temperature rise across the furnace again.  
If the value does not fall in the range of 70 to100ºF, repeat the above procedure.

Furnace Limit and Blower Controls  
All furnaces are equipped with a combined thermostatic high temperature limit and  
blower (fan) control. The high temperature limit is set such that it does not permit a  
supply (discharge) air temperature above 200ºF.  
The thermostatic fan control should be set so the greatest fuel utilization efficiency of  
the furnace is obtained. Generally, a blower “ON” setting of 130ºF should give the best  
result. After the burner shuts down, the circulating air blower will continue to operate  
until the air temperature inside the furnace falls below the lower setting on the fan  
control.  
This delay on blower shutdown extracts residual heat from the furnace heat exchanger  
that would ordinarily be lost to the outdoor atmosphere. If a longer, or shorter, cooldown  
period is desired, the fan control differential setting may be reset to lengthen, or shorten,  
the cycle as desired. Refer to Table 2 for the standard fan and high limit control settings.  
Table 2: Standard Furnace Fan / Limit Control and Speed Settings  
High Limit Thermostat Setting (deg. F.):  
230 (highboy / lowboy models)  
190 (horizontal / counterflow model)  
Fan “On” Setting (deg. F.):  
130  
Fan “Off” Setting (deg. F.):  
100  
Standard Fan Speed for 105 MBTUH Input Rate:  
Low, Orange Wire to “L” Terminal  
In addition to the combined fan and limit control, the horizontal / counterflow furnace is  
equipped with an auxiliary high limit temperature control located in the blower  
compartment, refer to the electrical diagram in Appendix B. The purpose of this control  
is to prevent overheating of the blower motor and air filter(s), if airflow is severely  
reduced.  
If the duct system becomes partially, or totally, blocked or the furnace air filter(s)  
become excessively dirty causing the blower to fail to circulate enough air, the  
thermostatic high temperature limit (or, if equipped, the auxiliary high temperature limit)  
may activate to prevent very high discharge air temperatures from occurring.  
Should airflow be restricted, the furnace might cycle on and off too frequently or become  
inoperative. To correct this condition, verify that all supply and return dampers and  
registers in the air distribution system are open. If this fails to resolve the problem, turn  
off the electrical power to the furnace. Remove the blower compartment access door to  
examine the air filter(s) and blower for blockages or a loose blower wheel. (On the  
highboy and horizontal / counterflow furnaces, air filters should be mounted external to  
the furnace casing.) If possible, correct the condition by cleaning or replacing the air  
filter(s), freeing the blower wheel of any foreign materials, or securing the blower wheel  
to the fan motor shaft. Always replace the blower compartment access door when  
service is finished. Restore electrical power to the furnace.

Room Thermostat  
Most room thermostats are equipped with user adjustable, or selectable, levels of heat  
anticipation. This feature helps to reduce the amount of room air temperature overshoot  
that occurs after a heating cycle.  
To adjust the heat anticipator, measure the electrical current output of the oil burner  
primary safety control to the room thermostat. (If measurement is not possible, the value  
of current output may be marked on the cover of the control). Set the thermostat heat  
anticipator to match the electrical current output of the oil primary safety control.  
Instructions to Our Customer / End User  
! WARNING: If the burner does not operate properly after depressing the oil  
primary reset button three (3) times, turn off the electrical power to the furnace  
and close the manual oil shutoff valve. Immediately contact a qualified heating  
contractor for service.  
Before leaving a new installation, the installer should show the customer or end user  
where the furnace instruction manual is kept. He should also discuss the following  
points:  
1) Describe the general operation of the furnace and, if properly equipped, the  
cooling system.  
2) Show the location of the furnace air filter(s) and those in the duct system, if  
equipped. Demonstrate how to remove, clean, and replace the air filter(s).  
3) Demonstrate how to set and adjust the room air temperature using the room  
thermostat.  
4) Demonstrate how to operate (turn on and off), the heating system and, if properly  
equipped, the cooling system and the circulating air blower.

SERVICE  
Troubleshooting  
c WARNING: When testing electrical equipment, always follow standard  
electrical safety procedures.  
Before beginning these troubleshooting procedures, always review these basic points.  
1) Check for 120 VAC power to the furnace. If there is no voltage, check the  
disconnecting switch for circuit breaker trip or blown fuses.  
2) Make sure the room thermostat is set on the heating mode and is “calling for  
heat”.  
3) Check for sufficient oil supply and that all oil shutoff valves are open.  
4) To successfully service this oil furnace, the following recently (within the last  
year) calibrated instruments must be available.  
Smoke spot test kit with Bacharach-type oil burner smoke scale  
Carbon dioxide (CO2) and carbon monoxide (CO) test kit or analyzer  
Flue gas temperature measuring instrument  
Draft gauge, capable of measuring 0.01 to 0.25 in. W.G. draft  
(Draft is the pressure differential between the static pressure measured in  
the vent pipe, or just above the combustion chamber, and the indoor  
atmospheric pressure. Under normal operating conditions, it will have a  
negative value, i.e. the pressure in the combustion chamber and the vent  
system are less than room air pressure.)  
Multimeter (analog or digital type)  
Oil pressure gauge, capable of measuring at least 0 to 200 PSIG  
Burner electrode and nozzle setting gauge  
5) Be familiar with the correct operation of these instruments as well as how to  
adjust the oil burner settings (refer to burner manufacturer’s literature).  
A. Symptom: Furnace does not operate.  
Items to check:  
c WARNING: Repeated operation of the oil primary safety control  
reset button can cause a build-up of unburned oil in the combustion  
chamber. An accumulation of oil in the combustion chamber is a  
hazardous situation and may cause a fire or explosion.  
1) Make sure the disconnecting switch is “ON” and the circuit breaker has  
not tripped, or fuses have not blown.  
2) Confirm there is 120 VAC at the fan center junction box.  
27  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
3) Confirm the room thermostat is wired correctly, set on the “HEAT”  
mode, and “calling for heat”.  
4) For all primary controls, lockout can be confirmed by measuring  
voltage from the oil primary safety control to the burner motor. If none,  
depress the oil primary reset button. [On the Honeywell oil primary  
control, lockout has occurred if the indicator light (an LED) is rapidly  
flashing; depress the oil primary reset button.]  
If the burner does not operate properly after depressing the reset  
button three (3) times, turn off the electrical power to the furnace  
and close the manual oil shutoff valve. Immediately contact a  
qualified heating contractor for service.  
B. Symptom: Burner short cycles or “locks out” on oil primary safety control.  
Items to check:  
1) Fuel oil tank nearly empty or oil flow restriction. Refill oil tank, replace  
oil filter, open all shutoff valve(s), and purge oil line(s) of air.  
2) If the oil primary control has not “locked out” (e.g., on the Honeywell  
primary control, the indicator light is not flashing), measure the  
electrical current to the room thermostat. Set the heat anticipator on  
the room thermostat to the current value measured. Also, check the  
wiring between the thermostat and primary control to be sure it is  
correct and no loose connections exist.  
3) Inspect the burner flame sensor, “cad cell”, to be sure the lens is clean  
and the cell is correctly aimed at the flame.  
4) Inspect the burner oil nozzle for blockages and signs of deterioration.  
Replace the nozzle, if required. Also, measure and reset the electrode  
gap and alignment. If badly worn or deformed, replace the electrodes.  
(Refer to the burner manufacturer’s instructions.)  
5) Confirm there is a strong spark across electrodes. Generally, viewing a  
spark jump across the electrodes is sufficient indication the ignition  
transformer is operating correctly. Testing an electronic ignition  
transformer with a transformer tester is generally not  
recommended.  
6) Inspect the heat exchanger through the cleanout ports for signs of  
excessive soot, scale buildup, or blockage. If a heavy deposits are  
present, clean the heat exchanger.  
28

C. Symptom: Burner short cycles on high limit thermostat, but does not “lock  
out” on oil primary safety control.  
Items to check:  
1) Open dampers or registers in the air distribution system. Clear any  
duct system restrictions.  
2) Inspect and clean all air filters in the air distribution system.  
3) Inspect blower for interference with rotation or locked rotor condition.  
Also, confirm the blower wheel is secured to the fan motor shaft.  
4) The fan motor or run capacitor may be damaged. Test and replace the  
motor or capacitor, as required.  
5) Increase fan speed.  
D. Symptom: Unable to achieve clean combustion by making burner air  
adjustments.  
Items to check:  
1) Measure the burner air tube insertion depth and alignment. The end of  
the tube should not protrude inside the combustion chamber. The end  
of the tube should be approximately ¼ inch away from the inner wall  
surface of the combustion chamber.  
2) Inspect the oil nozzle for excessive wear, blockage, or deterioration.  
Measure and, if necessary, reset the nozzle depth or turbulator  
location with respect to end of the burner head. Replace the nozzle, if  
necessary (refer to the oil burner manufacturer’s instructions).  
3) Measure the oil pump pressure. If required, adjust the pressure to  
burner nameplate value. (This is the typical minimum pressure  
required to obtain the full input rate from the furnace).  
4) Verify the burner is configured as specified in Table 1 and adjusted  
according to the Initial Burner Operation section of this manual and  
the burner manufacturer’s instructions.  
5) Measure the overfire draft. If required, adjust the barometric damper to  
increase the stack draft to obtain an overfire draft of 0.02 in. W.G. with  
the burner operating. (This is the typical minimum draft required to  
obtain the specified flue gas combustion analysis values given in Table  
1.) If the specified overfire draft cannot be obtained with a stack draft of  
0.02 in. W.G., the heat exchanger may be partially blocked and could  
require cleaning.  
29  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
6) Measure the draft at the point where the vent connector attaches to the  
heat exchanger flue pipe. With the burner operating, the stack draft  
should not exceed 0.05 in. W.G. If the stack draft has been adjusted  
above this value to give the proper overfire draft, the heat exchanger  
will require cleaning.  
If there is little or no stack draft, the chimney flue way may require  
cleaning, the chimney is too restrictive, or a downdraft condition exists.  
E. Symptom: Furnace blower will not start.  
Items to check:  
1) Confirm there is 120 VAC at the blower motor terminal block.  
2) If there is not 120 VAC at the blower terminal block, measure the  
voltage at the fan center relay. If the fan can be activated by itself from  
the room thermostat subbase, confirm it will operate. If so, the fan  
center relay contacts may be burnt, or damaged, or the fan limit control  
may be defective. Test these components and replace the defective  
component, as required.  
3) If there is 120 VAC at the blower terminal block, either the run  
capacitor or blower motor may be damaged. Test and replace the  
capacitor or motor, as required.  
F. Symptom: Blower cycles on and off after the burner has shutdown.  
Item to check:  
1) Increase the fan limit control differential. Typically, the fan “off” setting  
should be 30 degrees F. below the fan “on” setting. Adjust the setting  
as required.  
NOTICE: If the fan and high limit control is faulty, it should be  
replaced. However, it must only be replaced by the same make  
and model as the original. All the original temperature settings  
should be duplicated on the replacement model as well. REMOVE  
THE LOW VOLTAGE JUMPER IN THE CONTROL, IF EQUIPPED.  
Refer to the electrical diagram for proper electrical connections.

Flame Sensor (“Cad Cell”) Checkout Procedure  
On the Honeywell oil primary control, to check the electrical resistance of the flame  
sensor (referred to as a cadmium sulfide photocell, or “cad cell”), depress the reset  
button on the oil primary safety control while the burner is firing. The oil primary control  
will report the measured resistance range of the cad cell by flashing the LED (light  
emitting diode) one (1) to four (4) times. Refer to the oil burner manufacturer’s  
instructions for further details.  
For all primary controls, an alternate procedure to check the flame sensor operation is  
as follows:  
1)  
Remove the flame sensor lead wires from the terminals (labeled “CAD  
CELL” on the underside of the Honeywell control) of the oil primary safety  
control module. Start the burner. Shortly after combustion is established,  
place a temporary jumper wire across the cad cell terminals, or leads, of  
the control. Connect an ohmmeter across the flame sensor lead wires.  
The measured resistance should be less than,  
1600 Ohms for the Honeywell cad cell,  
1500 Ohms for the Carlin cad cell, and  
1200 Ohms for the Riello cad cell.  
NOTICE: On the Riello 40-F3 burner only, it may be difficult or  
impossible to measure the actual operating resistance of the cad cell with  
the burner operating. With the electrical power off, carefully remove the  
printed circuit board from the Riello oil primary control and subject the cad  
cell to direct sunlight. The measured resistance of the cad cell should  
reduce to 50 Ohms, or less. Cover the cad cell and measure the dark cell  
resistance, refer to step 3 below.  
2)  
3)  
Stop the burner and remove the jumper wire.  
With the burner off, measure the resistance of the flame sensor with the  
ohmmeter. The resistance of the sensor without “seeing” a light source  
(so-called “dark” cell resistance) should be greater than,  
20,000 Ohms for the Honeywell cad cell,  
50,000 Ohms for the Carlin cad cell, and  
40,000 Ohms for the Riello cad cell.  
4)  
If the sensor resistances are outside the acceptable ranges given above,  
confirm the lens of the cell is clean and the cell is located correctly in the  
burner housing. If the cell is clean and correctly located, replace the flame  
sensor.  
NOTICE: All resistances are approximate values only and will vary  
depending upon the intensity of the light source (flame or sunlight) and the  
condition or age of the cad cell.

MAINTENANCE  
Air Filter(s)  
c CAUTION: To avoid injury from moving parts, hot surfaces, or electrical  
shock, shut off the power to the furnace and allow the furnace to cool BEFORE  
removing any furnace access doors to service air filters.  
Highboy and lowboy furnace models are factory-supplied with a permanent-type, air  
filter. At least twice a year, remove the air filter(s) for cleaning. Clean a filter by soaking  
it in water with a mild detergent and then rinsing it with clean water. Allow the filter to air  
dry before reinstalling it in the furnace filter rack.  
If the furnace, or duct system, is equipped with disposable-type (paper element), air  
filters, inspect them every month for an excessive accumulation of dust and dirt.  
Replace disposable air filters at least twice a year. Make certain the replacement filter is  
the same size as the one being replaced. The filter size is marked on the outer edge of  
the air filter. Install the filter with the arrow marked on the filter pointing toward the  
furnace.  
Oil Burner  
NOTICE: A qualified heating contractor MUST service the oil burner in this  
furnace at least once a year.  
Generally, service to the burner will involve a thorough inspection and cleaning of the  
burner, replacement of the oil nozzle and oil filter, and readjustment of the burner to  
achieve proper ignition and clean combustion.  
Blower and Motor  
NOTICE: The fan motor has sealed bearings that do NOT require lubrication.  
The blower and fan motor will not normally require any service. This furnace is  
equipped with a directly-driven blower. Therefore, it will not require any retensioning or  
replacement of a drive belt.  
Heat Exchanger  
c CAUTION: DO NOT attempt to clean the heat exchanger unless electrical power  
and fuel flow to the furnace are turned off and the furnace is at room temperature.  
c CAUTION: The combustion chamber refractory material is fragile and can be  
easily damaged. If the inner radiator of the heat exchanger is cleaned, avoid  
scraping or hitting the walls of the combustion chamber.  
CAUTION: Do not brush or scrape the surface of the combustion chamber. It can be  
easily damaged.

NOTICE: A qualified heating contractor MUST inspect the heat exchanger in this  
furnace at least once a year. If heavy deposits are found, immediate cleaning is  
required.  
All heat exchanger surfaces should be as clean as possible for the most efficient  
operation of the furnace. The heat exchanger may require cleaning after every heating  
season, as combustion of fuel oil tends to produce soot, particulate matter, and scale,  
due to corrosion. These materials coat the inner walls of the heat exchanger. This  
coating reduces the heat transfer effectiveness of the heat exchanger and can hinder  
the flow of flue gases from the furnace.  
NOTICE: Accumulation of heavy soot deposits over one heating season may  
indicate the oil burner is out of adjustment.  
The heat exchanger may be inspected and cleaned through two (2) access, or cleanout,  
ports located in the burner compartment, on highboy and lowboy models, or protruding  
through the front casing panel, on the horizontal/counterflow model. Each cleanout port  
consists of a 2-inch O.D. tube closed by a pressed-in cap, refer to Figure 9.  
Figure 9: Location and Design of the Highboy Heat Exchanger Cleanout Ports  
Using a screwdriver, or a large pair of adjustable jaw pliers, remove each cleanout port  
cap. With the aid of a portable light source, peer into the heat exchanger. As much as  
possible, loosen all material and deposits clinging to the heat exchanger walls using  
wire brushes, or any suitable tool. Collect and remove this material by hand or with the  
assistance of a vacuum cleaner and a nozzle-type attachment.  
34  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
The heat exchanger may also be cleaned through the flue pipe connection. With the  
furnace turned off and at room temperature, carefully remove the vent connector and  
the heat exchanger flue pipe, if equipped, to inspect and clean the heat exchanger.  
The inner radiator of the heat exchanger may be cleaned from the inside of the  
combustion chamber. This involves removal of the burner and the burner mounting  
plate from the heat exchanger.  
Using a portable light source with a mirror inserted through and into the heat exchanger,  
check for an accumulation of soot, scale, and particulate matter on the walls and in the  
base of the drum, or on the floor of the combustion chamber. If a significant  
accumulation is present, it should be removed. Use a flexible wire brush to loosen the  
deposits on the heat exchanger walls. Remove any loose foreign material using a  
vacuum cleaner.  
Replace all gaskets, if removed, with new (unused) gaskets. Reassemble the burner  
mounting plate, burner flange, and new gaskets in the reverse order they were  
removed. A rubber mallet, or equivalent tool, may be useful for reinstalling the caps in  
the cleanout tubes.  
Flue and Chimney  
At least once a year, thoroughly inspect the heat exchanger flue pipe, the vent  
connector, the chimney, or vent, and the barometric damper for signs of sagging, loose  
connections, excessive corrosion, and deterioration. Clean, repair, or replace any  
components for continued safe and proper operation of the furnace.

4) This furnace is equipped with an electronic ignition system that automatically  
lights the burner. DO NOT try to light the burner by hand.  
5) Turn on the electric power to the furnace at the disconnecting switch.  
6) Adjust the room thermostat to the desired setpoint and set the operating mode, if  
equipped, to “HEAT”.  
7) If the furnace will not operate, call a qualified heating contractor for service.  
TO INTERRUPT (STOP) OPERATION OF THIS FURNACE:  
1) Adjust the room thermostat to the lowest setpoint and set the operating mode, if  
equipped, to “OFF”.  
2) If service will be performed, turn off all electric power to the furnace at the  
disconnecting switch.  
3) Turn the manual oil shutoff valve to the closed or “OFF” position.  
Oil Supply  
If available, the use of ultra-low or low sulfur (less than 0.0015% S and 0.0015 -  
0.05% S, by weight, respectively), no. 2 fuel oil is highly recommended. Low  
sulfur fuel oil can help to significantly reduce instances of blockage and corrosion of  
the oil burner fuel delivery system, including the nozzle, the furnace heat exchanger,  
and the flue gas vent system. These benefits can appreciably decrease or eliminate  
service calls due to poor fuel quality. Air pollutants emitted by the furnace as well as  
the typical malodorous smell of oil combustion will also be reduced. Consult your fuel  
oil supplier about the availability of low-sulfur, fuel oil.  
DO NOT allow the fuel tank to run completely dry during the heating season. If the  
fuel tank runs completely dry, it may be necessary to purge the oil lines of trapped  
air. If necessary, contact a qualified heating contractor to bleed the oil lines and  
restart the burner.  
During the warmer weather, keep the tank full to prevent condensation of moisture  
on the inside surface of the tank. The presence of moisture in the tank is beneficial  
to the growth of biological fuel contaminants (bacteria, mold, fungus, yeast, etc.).  
Keep the cap on the fuel tank fill pipe tightly closed at all times to prevent the  
entrance of moisture, foreign matter, insects, etc. Consider adding a guard or filter to  
the tank vent pipe to reduce the entrance of water and foreign matter into the tank.  
Also, check the tank, vent, and fill pipe for cracks and leaks. Have any necessary  
tank repairs performed ASAP.  
37  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Annually, have a bottom sample from the fuel oil tank taken for analysis. If present  
in excessive quantities, sludge and water should be removed. Fuel oil additives may  
be of benefit in helping to resolve some problems that are indicated by the analysis.  
In severe cases, tank cleaning may be required. Consult your fuel oil supplier for  
recommendations.  
Extended Shutdown  
If the furnace will be shutdown for an extended period of time:  
1) Adjust the room thermostat to the lowest set point and set the operating mode, if  
equipped, to “OFF”.  
2) Open the disconnecting switch serving the furnace.  
3) Close the manual oil shutoff valve.  
4) To promote smooth startup and nuisance free operation, fuel oil quality must be  
maintained at a high level. In cases where biological contamination of the fuel oil  
tank is evident or suspected, consider treating the fuel oil with a biocide approved  
for fuel oil applications. In addition, for non-low sulfur fuel oils, an antioxidant  
additive may be beneficial in promoting fuel stability. After adding any fuel oil  
treatment, completely fill the oil tank to promote mixing of the additive with the  
fuel.  
Combustion and Ventilation Air Supply  
The furnace and venting system require a generous amount of clean air to operate  
safely. Lack of adequate combustion and ventilation air can result in erratic operation of  
the burner, noisy and poor combustion, sooting of the combustion chamber, and fuel  
odors in the air. Never block off or restrict the supply of air to the furnace.  
Inspection Areas  
Burner Compartment: On the highboy and lowboy furnace models, the burner  
compartment can be inspected by removing the front door of the furnace. Look for signs  
of excessive heat, such as discoloration of components, damage to material from rust or  
corrosion, soot or carbon build-up, and evidence of fuel oil leakage.  
Exterior Of Furnace: The exterior of the furnace should be inspected for signs of  
excessive heat such as discoloration of materials and damage from rust or corrosion.  
Confirm the base or frame supporting the furnace in level and in sound condition.  
38  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Venting System: The furnace flue pipe, vent connector, barometric damper, and  
chimney should be inspected for:  
Signs of excessive rust, corrosion pitting, and holes.  
Signs of condensation or moisture leakage (sometimes indicated by soot or  
condensate streaks).  
Evidence of structural damage, and loose or disconnected piping joints.  
Presence animal nests.  
Free movement of the vane of the barometric damper without binding or  
interference.  
If any problems are evident, call a qualified heating contractor for assistance.  
NOTICE: A qualified heating contractor MUST service the oil burner and inspect  
the heat exchanger in this furnace at least once a year.
