CAUTION

Under normal operating conditions this

valve should not need adjusting.

Model 400

Locate the throttle adjustment screw on the top of the gas valve, see FIG. 3-2. Using a screwdriver, turn the screw 1/8 turn counterclockwise to increase CO2 levels or 1/8 turn clockwise to decrease CO2 levels. After one adjustment on the valve, follow the Combustion Analysis Procedure on page 46 of this manual to measure the combustion.

If combustion is still not within the specified range, repeat the procedure. This procedure SHOULD NOT be performed more than four (4) times. If after four (4) adjustments and the combustion is still not within the specified range, revisit the possible causes in Table 3-6 on page 46 or replace the gas valve.

Model 501

Locate the throttle adjustment screw on top of the gas valve, see FIG. 3-3. Using a screwdriver, turn the screw a 1/4 turn counterclockwise to increase CO2 levels or a 1/4 turn clockwise to decrease CO2 levels. After one adjustment on the valve, follow the Combustion Analysis Procedure on page 46 of this manual to measure the combustion.

If combustion is still not within the specified range, repeat the procedure. This procedure SHOULD NOT be performed more than four (4) times.
