NOTE − G71MPP−36B and −36C units with 1/2 hp blower
motors are equipped with three flexible legs and one rigid
leg. The rigid leg is equipped with a shipping bolt and a flat
white plastic washer (rather than the rubber mounting
grommet used with a flexible mounting leg). The bolt and
washer must be removed before the furnace is placed
into operation. After the bolt and washer have been re-
moved, the rigid leg will not touch the blower housing.
NOTE − G71MPP−60D−135 units are equipped with a ship-
ping pad under the blower housing. Remove the shipping
pad prior to operation.
Allow for clearances to combustible materials as indicated
on the unit nameplate. Minimum clearances for closet or al-
cove installations are shown in figures 4, 9 and 13.
WARNING
Blower access panel must be securely in place when
blower and burners are operating. Gas fumes, which
could contain carbon monoxide, can be drawn into
living space resulting in personal injury or death.
WARNING
Improper installation of the furnace can result in per-
sonal injury or death. Combustion and flue products
must never be allowed to enter the return air system
or air in the living space. Use sheet metal screws and
joint tape to seal return air system to furnace.
In platform installations with furnace return, the fur-
nace should be sealed airtight to the return air ple-
num. A door must never be used as a portion of the
return air duct system. The base must provide a
stable support and an airtight seal to the furnace. Al-
low absolutely no sagging, cracks, gaps, etc.
For no reason should return and supply air duct sys-
tems ever be connected to or from other heating de-
vices such as a fireplace or stove, etc. Fire, explo-
sion, carbon monoxide poisoning, personal injury
and/or property damage could result.
Upflow Applications
The G71MPP gas furnace can be installed as shipped in
the upflow position. Refer to figure 4 for clearances.

directly on carpeting, tile or other combustible materials other
than wood flooring.
FIGURE 4
Return Air −− Upflow Units
Return air can be brought in through the bottom or either
side of the furnace installed in an upflow application. If the
furnace is installed on a platform with bottom return, make
an airtight seal between the bottom of the furnace and the
platform to ensure that the furnace operates properly and
safely. The furnace is equipped with a removable bottom
panel to facilitate installation.
Markings are provided on both sides of the furnace cabinet
for installations that require side return air. Cut the furnace
cabinet at the maximum dimensions shown on page 2.
NOTE − When air volumes over 1800 cfm (850 L/s) are
required with 60C or 60D models in an upflow applica-
tion, the following return air options are available:
1 − Return air from single side with transition which will
accommodate 20 x 25 x 1 in. (508 x 635 x 25 mm) air filter.
(Required to maintain proper air velocity.) See figure 5.
