Motors should run, the igniter become red hot
and the flame should turn on in some 30 seconds.
Read the test gauge pressure while the flame is on.
Flame will cycle on and off. The pressure should be
between:
HI FIRE 2nd stage ON, 1st STAGE ON
cm (8.5"), max 23.1 cm (9.1") of water
LO FIRE 2nd stage ON, 1st STAGE OFF
cm (5"), max 14.22 cm (5.6") of water
NOTE: If pressure needs adjustment, tune only the HI
FIRE. If the HI FIRE is ok but the LOW FIRE pressure
is out of range, gas valve is defective and should be
replaced.
