used when installed on combustible materials and wood flooring.
Special base is not required when this furnace is installed on
manufacturer’s Coil Assembly Part No. CD5 or CK5, or when Coil
Box Part No. KCAKC is used.
The 58MXA 040 through 120 size units are C.S.A. (formerly AGA
and CGA) design-certified for use in manufactured (mobile)
homes when factory accessory conversion kit is used. The 140 size
unit is NOT design-certified for use in manufactured (mobile)
homes. These furnaces are suitable for installation in a structure
built on site or a manufactured building completed at final site. The
design of this furnace line is NOT C.S.A. (formerly AGA and
CGA) design-certified for installation in recreation vehicles or
outdoors.
This furnace is designed for continuous return-air minimum
temperature of 60 °F db or intermittent operation down to 55°F db
such as when used with a night setback thermometer. Return-air
temperature must not exceed 85°F db. Failure to follow these
return air limits may affect reliability of heat exchangers, motors
and controls. (See Fig. 4.)
These furnaces are shipped with the drain and pressure tubes
connected for UPFLOW applications. Minor modifications are
required when used in DOWNFLOW, HORIZONTAL RIGHT, or
HORIZONTAL LEFT (supply-air discharge direction) applica-
tions as shown in Fig. 1. See details in Applications section.
This furnace must be installed with a direct-vent (combustion air
and flue gas) system and a factory accessory termination kit. In a
direct-vent system, all air for combustion is taken directly from the
outdoor atmosphere and flue gases are discharged to the outside
atmosphere. See furnace and factory accessory vent-air intake
termination kit instructions for proper installation.
These furnaces are shipped with the following materials to assist in
proper furnace installation. These materials are shipped in the main
blower compartment.

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) PRECAUTIONS
Electrostatic discharge can affect electronic components.
Take precautions during furnace installation and servicing to
protect the furnace electronic control. Precautions will pre-
vent electrostatic discharges from personnel and hand tools
which are held during the procedure. These precautions will
help to avoid exposing the control to electrostatic discharge
by putting the furnace, the control, and the person at the same
electrostatic potential.
1. Disconnect all power to the furnace. Multiple disconnects may
be required. DO NOT TOUCH THE CONTROL OR ANY
WIRE CONNECTED TO THE CONTROL PRIOR TO DIS-
CHARGING YOUR BODY’S ELECTROSTATIC CHARGE
TO GROUND.
2. Firmly touch the clean, unpainted, metal surface of the furnace
chassis which is close to the control. Tools held in a person’s
hand during grounding will be satisfactorily discharged.
