The manifold pressure is controlled by a reg- ulator built into the gas control, and should be checked at the pressure test point. The pres- sure check should be carried out with the unit burning and the setting should be with in the limits specified.
Note: To properly check gas pressure, both inlet and manifold pressures should be checked using the valve pressure ports on the valve.
