restraint is necessary to move the appliance for cleaning, etc., reconnect it when the appliance is
moved to its originally installed position.
All units are adjusted at the factory. In case of problems in operation at initial installation, check type
of gas and manifold pressure and compare with information listed on the serial plate.
