NOTES:
1.Furnace blower is required to operate when ventilation is required.
2.Weatherhood arrangement is for drawing purposes only. Six feet (2 m) minimum separation required. Eighteen inches (460 mm) above grade minimum.
3.Due to pressure differences in the equipment, airflows must be adjusted and confirmed on site.
4.Maintenance should be performed twice a year or more if required. Remove and wash filters and core and replace. Outside hoods should be visually checked for blockage regularly.
5.Drain is required as shown above.
6.Built in balancing damper may require seasonal adjustments.
