5. Installation Steps

 

There are nine (9) steps to complete to ensure correct installation and 

implementation of the gas conversion procedure. Failure to follow 

steps exactly and in the consecutive order listed in this instruction 

booklet (as well as all warnings, cautions, and notes associated with 

each step) may result in improper operation of the heater and possible 

property damage, personal injury, or death. Installation steps are as 

follows:

•  Step 1:  Before You Start

•  Step 2:  Install the Gas Orifice

•  Step 3:  Install the Air Intake Orifice

•  Step 4:  Install the Fuel Line Sealing Grommet

•  Step 5:  Perform Gas Leak Test

•  Step 6:  Test the Inlet Pressure

•  Step 7:  Test the Gas Orifice Differential Offset Pressure

•  Step 8:  Check Normal Operating Sequence

•  Step 9:  Affix the Conversion Rating Plate to Heater 

•  Step 10: Complete and Send Mail-In Card

STEP 1: Before You Start

1.  Verify you have all of the necessary parts (see Table 1).
2.  Verify the parts in your kit are specific for the model/BTU 

conversion (see Table 2). 

3.  Turn off the electrical power to the heater. 
4.  Turn off the main gas supply to the heater at the meter or the 

manual gas cock outside the heater. 

5.  Make sure the filter pump is off and will remain off for the 

duration of the installation procedure.

6.  If the heater is below the surface level of the water in the pool or 

spa, close all shut-off valves between the heater and the pool.
