HIGH ALTITUDE GAS ORIFICE CONVERSION
This furnace is constructed at the factory for natural gas-fired operation
at 0 – 7,999 feet (0 – 2,438 m) above sea level.
The manifold pressure must be changed in order to maintain proper
and safe operation when the furnace is installed in a location where the
altitude is greater than 7,999 feet (2,438 m) above sea level. Refer to
Table 4 for proper manifold pressure settings.
HIGH ALTITUDE PRESSURE SWITCH CONVERSION
For installation where the altitude is less than 5,000 feet (1,524m), it is
not required that the pressure switch be changed unless you are in an
area subject to low pressure inversions.
