2 Prepare water heater

Model 400

1.Remove the top and front access covers from the unit (no tools required for removal).

2.Remove the three screws securing the venturi to the blower.

Note: When separating the venturi from the blower, take care not to damage the O-ring inside the blower (FIG. 2-3).

3.Remove the four screws securing the gas valve to the venturi (FIG. 2-3).

4.Locate the propane orifice disk from the conversion kit bag. Verify that the stamping on the orifice disk matches the water heater size (see Table 2A on page 13).

5.Remove the existing orifice from the O-ring in the side of the gas valve and replace it with the orifice from the kit. Position and secure the orifice in the valve as shown in FIG. 2-3.

6.Reposition the gas valve against the venturi and replace the screws (FIG. 2-3) securing the valve to the venturi.

7.Inspect the O-ring inside the blower. Handle the O-ring with care, do not damage. Reposition the venturi against the blower and replace the screws securing the venturi to the blower (FIG. 2-3).

8.After installation is complete, attach the propane conversion label (in the conversion kit bag) next to the water heater rating plate. Attach the LP caution label (in the conversion kit bag) to the left side of the unit in the lower left corner.

9.Replace the top and front access covers.

￿WARNING After converting to LP, check combustion per the Start-up procedure in Section 10

of this manual. Failure to check and verify combustion could result in severe personal injury, death, or substantial property damage.

￿DANGER Armor 400: Inspect the O-ring when the blower is disassembled. The O-ring

must be in good condition and must be installed. Failure to comply will cause a gas leak, resulting in severe personal injury or death.

Installation & Operation Manual

Model 501

1.Remove the top access cover from the unit (no tools required for removal).

2.Turn the adjustment screw on the gas valve clockwise until it stops. Then turn the adjustment screw counterclockwise four and three quarter (4 3/4) turns (see FIG. 2-4).

3.Use a combustion analyzer to verify CO2 is within the range of 9.6 – 10.5%. If not, adjust the screw

counterclockwise incrementally to raise CO2 and clockwise to lower CO2 (FIG. 2-4).

4.After adjustment is complete, attach the propane conversion label (in the conversion kit bag) next to the water heater rating plate. Attach the LP caution label (in the conversion kit bag) to the left side of the unit in the lower left corner.

5.Replace the top access cover.
