3.4 FUEL CONVERSION
The SFC series modulating unit is factory re-tested to operate with natural gas.
The rating plate is marked to indicate which fuel the particular unit has been set
up with. Firing a unit with a fuel other than what is listed on the rating plate is
prohibited unless the following conversion procedure is completed by a qualied
technician.
Fuel conversion requires hardware adjustments (orice replacement) as well as
measurement and possible tuning of the low re mixture. Detailed instructions
including parts and labeling are found in Fuel Conversion kits. Refer to Table 11
for the correct kit number.
