MOUNTING

On vertical vents, the vent damper may be mounted with the actuator in any position. On horizontal vents, do not mount the actuator either directly above or directly below the vent pipe; mount the vent damper actuator to the side of the vent.

The vent damper is set up for a continuous pilot system. If the vent damper is installed on an intermittent Pilot or Direct Spark Ignition equipped system, the energy savings of the vent damper can be improved by plugging the hole in the vent damper blade using the knockout plug, Part No 105612R, provided in the parts envelope.

DO NOT plug the hole if installing the vent damper on a continuous pilot system as this will create a hazardous condition.

NORMAL OPERATION SUMMARY

For safe, efficient operation, the vent damper and all flue product carrying areas of the appliance must be checked annually, with particular attention given to dete- rioration from corrosion or other sources. Check vent damper operation as follows:

1.When the furnace or heater is off, check that the vent damper position indicator points to the closed posi- tion, Fig. 4.

2.Turn the thermostat or controller up to call for heat and check that the vent damper indicator points to the open position, Fig. 4.

3.Turn the thermostat or controller down again and check that the vent damper position indicator re- turns to the closed position.

THE VENT DAMPER MUST BE INSPECTED AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR BY A TRAINED, EXPERIENCED SER- VICE TECHNICIAN.. THE NAME OF THE PERSON WHOORIGINALLYINSTALLEDYOURVENTDAMPER IS SHOWN ON THE INSTALLATION LABEL. DAMPER MUST BE IN OPEN POSITION WHEN HEATER MAIN BURNERS ARE OPERATING.
