Do NOT connect the unit to gas types other than  
what is specified and do NOT connect the unit to  
gas pressures that are outside of the pressure range  
shown on the label.  
The regulator located inside the unit is used to  
adjust the unit’s maximum output temperature.  
3. Connect the Supply Gas Line  
NOTE  
A manual shut off valve (gas cock), 1/8 in. plugged  
test port and 6 in. drip leg must be installed prior to  
the gas train. The valve and the test port must be  
accessible for the connection of a test gauge. Supply  
gas connections must be made by a qualified installer  
and are not furnished by Greenheck.  
When connecting the gas supply, the length of the  
run must be considered in determining the pipe size  
to avoid excessive pressure drop. Refer to a Gas  
Engineer’s Handbook for gas pipe capacities.

5. Air Volume Measurement & Check  
Measure the unit’s air volume (cfm) and compare it with  
it’s rated air volume. If the measured air volume is off,  
adjust the fan’s RPM by changing/adjusting the drive.  
NOTE  
The most accurate way to measure the air volume is  
by using a pitot traverse method downstream of the  
blower. Other methods can be used, but should be  
proven and accurate.  
IMPORTANT  
Changing the air volume can significantly increase  
the motor’s amps. If the air volume is changed,  
the motor’s amps must be checked to prevent  
overloading the motor.  
NOTE  
To ensure accuracy, the dampers are to be open  
when measuring the air volume.  
6. Set-up Optional Components

2. Check the Pilot Gas Pressure  
The pressure drop was set at the factory and may  
not need adjustment.  
Check the pilot gas pressure. The recommended  
gas pressure is 3 in. wc. Adjust the pilot regulator as  
needed. See the Gas Train Layout in the Reference  
section for the location of the pilot pressure test port  
and pilot regulator.  
NOTE  
When required pressure is obtained, be sure to  
reconnect the outer sensing probes.  
IMPORTANT  
IMPORTANT  
This process may need to be repeated until the  
proper pressure is achieved. This adjustment  
will change the air quantity delivered by the unit  
and therefore the air quantity delivered should be  
rechecked. Refer to the Blower Start-Up section.  
Proper air velocity over the burner is critical on direct  
fired gas units. If the air velocity is not within the unit  
specifications, the unit will not operate efficiently,  
may have sporadic shutdowns, and may produce  
excessive carbon monoxide (CO) or other gases.  
NOTE  
To increase the static pressure decrease the  
opening. To decrease the static pressure increase  
the opening.

IMPORTANT  
Maxitrol Series 14 — 7 terminals  
The proper minimum firing rate setting results in a  
small ribbon of continuous flame which covers the  
flame road and runs across the entire burner.  
Remove the wire from terminal #4 to  
send the unit to maximum fire  
IMPORTANT  
Do not allow the disconnected wire to come in  
contact with a potential ground. Damage to the  
amplifier or transformer could result.  
NOTE  
Gas trains are equipped with separate regulators  
and modulating valves.  
Low fire time delay setting (75% of maximum)  
NOTE  
IMPORTANT  
Adjusting the maximum and minimum firing rate  
requires the inlet air sensor to be set higher than the  
outdoor air temperature in order to start the burner(s).  
Once high and low fire have been set, the inlet air  
sensor should be set to the desired temperature.  
Setting the maximum firing rate during mild weather  
conditions may cause the high limit to trip out during  
extreme conditions requiring manual resetting.  
NOTE  
NOTE  
Gas trains are equipped with either separate  
regulators and modulating valves or with a  
combined modulating valve.  
Counterclockwise rotation increases the minimum  
fire rate setting, clockwise rotation decreases the  
setting.  
NOTE  
Clockwise rotation increases the temperature  
rise, counterclockwise rotation decreases the  
temperature rise.

Troubleshooting  
Heater Does Not Operate  
Visible pilot  
Measure the flame signal  
when there is a visible pilot  
Note: The flame signal should be steady and  
above 1.25 VDC with a visible pilot.  
(Reference Direct Gas Start-Up – Step #7)  
Flame signal greater  
than 1.25 VDC  
No  
Unit is not grounded  
(Properly ground unit)  
Flame rod is grounding out  
(Adjust the flame rod to avoid contact with the burner or the unit)  
Cracked porcelain on flame rod  
(Replace flame rod)  
Yes  
Check for proper airflow  
(Direct Gas Start-Up Step #3)  
Note: When the pressure is low or marginal and the unit  
begins heating, the air density will change. This can cause  
the pressure to drop below the minimum setting. Also, low  
airflow can cause the flame to walk out of the burner and  
away from the flame sensor, causing the unit to recycle.  
Pressure drop across the burner  
between 0.625 and 0.675 in. wc?  
No  
Adjust burner baffles  
(Reference Direct Gas Start-Up – Step #3)  
Yes  
Check the minimum firing rate  
(Direct Gas Start-Up Step #4  
No  
No  
Is the minimum firing rate  
set correctly?  
Adjust the minimum firing rate  
(Reference Direct Gas Start-Up – Step #4)  
Yes  
Does the flame signal  
remain constant?  
If the signal slowly drops off, typically the airflow is too low  
(Reference Blower Start-Up – Step #4)  
If it suddenly drops to zero, the flame rod is grounding out  
(Adjust the flame rod to avoid contact with the burner or the unit)  
Yes  
If the flame signal is above 1.25 VDC and constant,  
the main gas valves will remain open until the call  
for heat is interrupted or the unit is shut down.

Maintenance - Routine  
Motors  
CAUTION  
Motor maintenance is generally limited to cleaning  
and lubrication (where applicable).  
Cleaning should be limited to exterior surfaces only.  
Removing dust and grease build-up on the motor  
assures proper motor cooling.  
Motors supplied with grease fittings should be  
greased in accordance with the manufacturer’s  
recommendations.  
Lock-out the gas and the electrical power to the  
unit before performing any maintenance or service  
operations to this unit.  
V-Belt Drives  
V-belt drives must be checked on a regular basis for  
wear, tension, alignment, and dirt accumulation.  
Check the tension by measuring the deflection in the  
belt as shown below.  
IMPORTANT  
Check the alignment by using a straight edge across  
both sheaves as shown below.  
Do not allow water or solvents to enter the motor  
or bearings. Motors and bearings should never be  
sprayed with steam, water or solvents.  
IMPORTANT  
IMPORTANT  
Premature or frequent belt failures can be caused by  
improper belt tension or misaligned sheaves.  
Greasing motors is only intended when fittings are  
provided. Many motors are permanently lubricated,  
requiring no additional lubrication.  
• Abnormally high belt tension or drive misalignment  
will cause excessive bearing loads and may result  
in failure of the fan and/or motor bearings.  
• Abnormally low belt tension will cause squealing  
on start-up, excessive belt flutter, slippage, and  
overheated sheaves.  
Wheels  
Wheels require little attention when moving clean air.  
Occasionally oil and dust may accumulate on the wheel  
causing imbalance. When this occurs the wheel and  
housing should be cleaned to assure proper operation.  
IMPORTANT  
Do not pry belts on or off the sheave. Loosen belt  
tension until belts can be removed by simply lifting  
the belts off the sheaves.  
Filters  
IMPORTANT  
Filter maintenance is generally limited to cleaning and  
replacement.  
When replacing V-belts on multiple groove drives,  
all belts should be changed to provide uniform drive  
loading.  
Aluminum mesh filters can be washed in warm soapy  
water.  
An adhesive spray can be added to aluminum mesh  
filters to increase their efficiency.  
IMPORTANT  
Do not install new belts on worn sheaves. If the  
sheaves have grooves worn in them, they must be  
replaced before new belts are installed.  
IMPORTANT  
When reinstalling filters, be sure to install them  
with the airflow in the correct direction. An airflow  
direction arrow is located on the side of the filters.  
Belt Span  
Deflection =

IMPORTANT  
Replacement filters should be from the same  
manufacturer and the same size as the original  
filters provided with the unit.

Maintenance - Fall  
Bearings  
Start-Up  
Repeat the Blower Start-Up Step #5 and Direct Gas Start-  
Up Steps #1 through #4. This will ensure that the gas and  
air are set properly before the heating season begins and  
should lead to trouble free operation all winter.  
The bearings for Greenheck fans are carefully selected  
to match the maximum load and operating conditions  
of the specific class, arrangement and fan size. The  
instructions provided in this manual and those provided  
by the bearing manufacturer will minimize any bearing  
problems.  
High Limit  
The high limit switch may have tripped over the  
summer; it should be checked and reset if necessary.  
IMPORTANT  
Burner  
Lubricate bearings prior to periods of extended  
shutdowns or storage and rotate shaft monthly to  
aid in corrosion prevention. If the fan is stored more  
than three months, purge the bearings with new  
grease prior to start-up.  
Inspect the burner for accumulation of scales on both  
the upstream and downstream sides of the mixing  
plates. Any scaling or foreign material should be  
removed with a wire brush.  
Visually check that all holes in the mixing plates are clear.  
If any burner ports are plugged (even partially), clear  
them with a piece of wire or another appropriate tool.

*Suggested initial greasing interval is based on 12 hour per  
day operation and 150°F maximum housing temperature.  
For continuous (24 hour) operation, decrease greasing  
interval by 50%  
Inspect and clean the flame and spark rod. Occasional  
replacement of the flame rod and spark rod may be  
necessary to ensure optimum unit performance.  
• If extended grease lines are present, relubricate while in  
operation, only without endangering personnel.  
WARNING  
• For ball bearings (operating) relubricate until clean grease  
is seen purging at the seals. Be sure not to unseat the seal  
by over lubricating.  
• For ball bearings (idle) add 1-2 shots of grease up to  
2 inch bore size, and 4-5 shots above 2 inch bore sizes  
with a hand grease gun.  
• For roller bearings add 4 shots of grease up to 2 inch bore  
size, and 8 shots for 2-5 inch bore size with a hand grease  
gun.  
Do not enlarge burner ports when clearing a  
blockage, performance could be affected.  
NOTE  
Flame rods can last many years, but because of  
thermal expansion of the porcelain, flame rods can  
fail over time.  
• Adjust relubrication frequency based on condition of  
purged grease.  
• A high quality lithium based grease conforming to NLGI  
Grade 2 consistency, such as those listed here:
