D. BASE INSTALLATION
1. Combustible Floor Base Model: 70-BASE
Referring to Figure 1A, for applications using a combustion air channel and a supply air duct, use
the base as a template to mark the floor opening locations. See Figure 2 for cutout locations. Cut
a square opening in the floor for the supply air duct. Cut the opening 1-inch larger than the
square template opening. Cut the combustion air duct opening. Cut opening 1/8 inch larger than
the template opening. See Figure 1A for cutout sizes.
Figure 2.
Place the bottom base panel in position. Mark the square opening location on the distribution
duct at the connection point of feeder duct. Remove the bottom panel. Cut an opening in the duct
slightly larger than the feeder duct. Cut the feeder duct to length. (Refer to Figure 3 for location
of this cut.) Install the feeder duct. Bend over each tab. Insure an airtight seal by using high
temperature sealant or tape on the joint. Reinstall the bottom panel over the feeder duct. Insert
and secure the combustion air duct. Put the top panel in place.
IMPORTANT: A combustion air duct must be used. If the underside of the mobile home is
skirted or enclosed (e.g. enclosed in a crawlspace), the combustion air intake should exit
through the skirting, or enclosure, if at all possible. All joints and seams of supply ducts and
combustion air ducts must be closed with a sealing method suitable to the application
conditions and temperatures ( e.g. high temperature silicone caulk and/or aluminum tape).

All installations and services must be performed by qualified service personnel.
If the combustion air passageway cannot terminate outside of the skirting or enclosure, a
permanent opening with a minimum of 50 square inches of unobstructed infiltration (free
area) for ventilation air must be provided for adequate combustion. This permanent opening
must be located no less than 12 inches from the bottom of the enclosure or skirting.
Figure 3.
Slit the corners of feeder duct down to the top of the top panel. If metal projects more than 1 inch
above the top panel, trim the flanges down to 1 inch. While the top of distribution duct is being
pulled up with one hand, bend down each side of the feeder duct tightly to the top panel with the
other hand. This assures a tight connection between the top panel and the feeder duct and that the
distribution duct will be full size. Use high temperature tape and/or high temperature silicone
caulking on all joints and seams to minimize air leakage. Secure the top panel to the floor with
two screws in the front flange.
2. Cottage Base Model: OMCCOT-BASE
The OMCCOT-BASE cottage base (Figure 1B) is required for a freestanding cottage base
installation. The cottage base is designed to permit the installation of an 8-inch x 12-inch register
in each of the two side panels and the rear panel. This allows combustion air to be drawn from
outside, or inside, the structure whichever is appropriate, or permissible. See section G.
COMBUSTION AIR for further details regarding combustion air requirements.

All installations and services must be performed by qualified service personnel.
IMPORTANT: Adequate combustion air must be provided under all circumstances. If the
underside of the home is skirted or enclosed (e.g. by an enclosed crawlspace), the combustion
air intake should exit through the side of cottage base and terminate outside of the structure.
All joints and seams of supply ducts and combustion air ducts must be closed with a sealing
method suitable to the application conditions and temperatures (e.g. using high temperature
silicone caulk and/or aluminum tape).
If the combustion air passageway cannot terminate outside of the structure, a permanent
opening with a minimum of 50 square inches of unobstructed infiltration (free area) for
ventilation and combustion air must be provided to the interior of the structure. Additional
make-up air may need to be supplied to the interior of the structure to compensate for exhaust
fans, appliances, or vents which consume air from the interior of the structure.
Refer to the assembly installation instructions included with OMCCOT-BASE cottage base for
additional information.

All installations and services must be performed by qualified service personnel.
2. The return air opening may be located in the top, the center or (ideally) the bottom of the
closet door, or side wall.
: Do not obstruct any return air openings, including the return grille on the
furnace. To do so may cause the furnace to activate the high temperature limit and shutdown,
or it may cause asphyxiation.
3. The cross-sectional area of the return air duct leading into the closet (when located in the
floor or ceiling) shall not be less than 250 square inches.
4. The total free area of openings in the floor or ceiling registers serving the return air duct
system must be at least 350 square inches. At least one register must be located where it is
not likely to be covered by carpeting, boxes, furniture, or any other objects.
5. Materials located in the return duct system must have a flame spread classification of 200 or
less.
6. Pans made of a non-combustible material having 1 inch upturned flanges are to be located
beneath openings in a floor, return air, duct system.
7. Wiring materials located in the return air duct system must conform to Article 300-22 of the
latest edition of the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70.
8. Gas piping shall not be located in, or extend through, the return air duct system.
9. Refer to section G. COMBUSTION AIR for additional combustion air requirements.
G. COMBUSTION AIR
The furnace requires the proper amount of combustion air be available to combust the fuel
cleanly and efficiently. An inadequate combustion air supply can result in unsafe and erratic
operation of the burner, sooting of the combustion chamber and the heat exchanger, and possibly,
offensive fuel odors. The combustion air intake must provide an adequate source of combustion
air to the appliance. Refer to part 5.3 of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 / NFPA 54-
1999, or latest edition for application specific combustion air requirements.
17
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
All installations and services must be performed by qualified service personnel.
The preferred location of the outside combustion air intake termination (e.g. an optional stainless
steel intake hood, part no.370183) is through the side of the structure, skirting or enclosure. An
alternate termination location is under the structure in the skirted or crawlspace area providing a
minimum of 50 square inches of free area exists around the perimeter for outside combustion air
to be drawn through.
The furnace is shipped with a combustion air duct that must be installed in the bottom of the
burner enclosure, before the burner is installed. This 2-inch by 7-inch duct is shipped in two
pieces. High temperature silicone sealant should be applied to both vertical seams, before it is
snapped together with four flanges on one end. The duct must then have high temperature
silicone applied to the flanges. Then, the combustion air duct can be inserted through the opening
in the floor base model no.70. When the combustion air duct has been inserted completely,
secure the duct to the combustion adapter with self-tapping sheet metal screws, refer to Figure 6.
Make certain that the flanges, duct, and adapter are completely sealed to the burner enclosure
base with high temperature silicone caulk.
NOTE: The adapter may be cut with sheet metal shears to the appropriate size and secured over
the inlet air duct opening. The adapter will convert the rectangular opening to a round connector
ring. The ring will allow the connection of 2-inch I.D. flexible hose (provided) between the
adapter and the inlet air boot, attached to the burner. Secure both ends of the flex hose with hose
clamps (provided).
A 2-inch round to 7-inch x 4-inch rectangular, sheet metal, transition boot is supplied with the
furnace for adapting a 4-inch round combustion air duct to the 2-inch x 7-inch combustion air
duct. This boot has a screen inserted into the 4-inch round portion of the boot to provide a degree
of protection from pests entering the furnace when the boot is terminated in the crawl space, or
skirted area, directly below the furnace.
The material recommended for the combustion air duct is smooth, round, galvanized steel duct or
schedule 20 PVC pipe. The maximum duct length allowed is equivalent to 40-feet of straight
duct. Reduce this length by 6-feet for the intake hood and each 90-degree elbow used, and by 3-
feet for each 45-degree elbow used the combustion air duct. Flexible, spiral, or corrugated duct is
not recommended, due to the relatively high pressure drop associated with air movement through
this type of passageway.

H. FUEL PIPING
Sizing and installation of fuel lines must be in accordance with federal, state and local
regulations.
1. General Gas Piping (GMC-85)
: Because of the potential of the odorant to fade, a gas leak may not be detected by
smell. If this furnace is installed below grade, contact your gas supplier for a gas detector.
A qualified installer or service person must install all gas piping and perform all required testing.
Piping from the natural gas meter to the furnace shall be in accordance with requirements of the
local gas utility. Piping from the propane tank to the furnace must follow the recommendations
of the gas supplier. In the absence of local codes governing gas piping selection and installation,
follow the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 / NFPA 54-1999, or latest edition.
A readily accessible, manual gas shutoff valve (design-certified for the applicable gas) with a
non-displaceable rotor member shall be installed within six feet of the furnace.
A pipe union, or flanged connection, shall be provided directly up stream of the burner to allow
burner removal. Unions must be of a ground joint type or flange-jointed type using a gasket
resistant to the corrosive effects of LP gases. Pipe dope or sealant design-certified to be resistant
to the action of the LP gases should be used on all threaded joints.
The burner is setup to be piped to the gas supply through the left-hand side of the furnace. For
service purposes, it is recommended the gas union be located inside the furnace.
A drip leg must be used on both propane and natural gas installations immediately upstream of
the furnace in order to trap oil, condensate, and other impurities which might otherwise lodge in
the gas valve, or plug the main burner orifice. A drip leg shall be provided at the outlet of the gas
meter when there is excessive condensation between the gas meter and the furnace.
Failure to install drip leg(s) may void the manufacturer’s limited warranty on the furnace.
: With the gas piping pressurized, all gas piping connections must be leak tested
using a strong soap and water solution. Any leaks must be repaired immediately after turning
off the gas supply. A final test for gas leakage must be made after purging the gas line.
: DO NOT wet electronic components during the leak test. Wetting electronic
components may damage circuitry and cause a hazardous situation. Dry moisture from all
leads and terminals if wetting occurs. Wait at least 24 hours for the circuit to fully dry before
energizing the system.

All installations and services must be performed by qualified service personnel.
: The furnace and its gas valve must be disconnected from the gas supply during
pressure testing of the gas supply system at pressures in excess of 1/2 PSIG (13.9 inches
W.G.). The furnace can be isolated from the gas supply by closing the manual gas shutoff
valve serving the appliance at test pressures equal to, or less than, 1/2 PSIG or (13.9 inches
W.G.).
: Copper and brass tubing and fittings (except tin lined) shall not be used if the gas
contains more than a trace (0.3 grains per 100 cubic ft.) of hydrogen sulfide gas. Check with
your gas supplier.
For natural gas, the maximum supply pressure is 13.9 in. W.G. and the minimum supply
pressure, for purposes of input adjustment, is 4.5 in. W.G.
For propane gas, the maximum supply pressure is 13.9 in. W.G. and the minimum supply
pressure, for purposes of input adjustment, is 11.5 in. W.G.
2. Oil Tank and Piping (OMC-70)
: All local codes and ordinances take precedence with regard to tank and oil lines.
All lines must have oil shutoff valves, a good pipe joint compound approved for use with oil on
all pipe threads, no kinks; no sharp bends and be properly tested for leaks. Flare fittings are
recommended for tubing.
: Do not run the oil pump dry for more than five minutes.
Your furnace is factory equipped to operate on No. 2 distillate fuel (domestic heating) oil. In very
cold weather, No. 1 distillate fuel oil may be used. Your oil supplier should be contacted for
recommendations.
: Do not use motor oil or any fuel other than No. 1 or No. 2 fuel oil in this furnace.
Burners are most commonly installed with a single stage fuel pump (refer to Figure 7). This type
of fuel pump, when connected with a supply line only, is satisfactory where the fuel supply is
level with, or above, the burner. This type of installation permits gravity flow of oil to the burner.
When it is necessary to “lift” (raise) oil to the burner, a return line should be connected between
the fuel pump and tank. This requires insertion of the “by-pass” plug into the fuel pump. If the
lift exceeds approximately 10 feet, a two-stage pump should be installed with a return line. When
a return line is used with either single or two-stage pumps, air is automatically returned to the
tank, making the unit self-purging.
Use of continuous runs of heavy wall copper tubing is recommended. Always use flare fittings.
Avoid use of fittings in inaccessible locations. Avoid running tubing against any type of
heating unit and across ceiling or floor joists.

All installations and services must be performed by qualified service personnel.
If possible, install the tubing under the floor. Specific information on piping, fuel pump
connections, lift capabilities and tank installations is provided in the fuel pump manufacturer’s
instructions.
If the oil tank is located inside the building and the tank capacity is between 10 and 660
gallons, it shall not be located within 5 feet horizontally from any source of heat, or oil-
burning appliance. Furthermore, the oil tank shall not block access to utility service
meters, switch panels, and shutoff valves.
If an underground tank used, the top of the tank should be below all piping in order to prevent oil
discharge through a broken connection. Underwriters Laboratories requirements now stipulate
that all 275 gallon and larger tanks have a bottom outlet. This is to prevent the accumulation of
condensate, which causes the tank to rust. It is also recommended to use a water trap or additives
to prevent condensate accumulation.
If the tank is above the burner, and gravity oil feed to the burner is permitted, a single line system
may be used. The line should have a gradual slope downward of approximately 1/2 inch per foot,
or more, to a point directly below where it is connected to the pump. Installing the line with a
downward slope will help prevent the formation of air pockets in the line.
IMPORTANT: An oil safety valve or a delayed-action solenoid valve is required with all
gravity feed oil supply systems.
IMPORTANT: The oil storage tank must be free of water, sludge and scale to prevent
excessive wear and possible damage to furnace oil pump and burner nozzle. A fuel oil filter
installed in the oil supply line to the burner is required.
OIL FILTER: For all installations, use a low micron, oil filter with the capacity to trap particles
10 microns in diameter, or greater. Filtering the oil supply helps to prevent nozzle clogging.
Install the oil filter inside the building between the tank shutoff valve and the burner. The filter
cartridge should be replaced at least once a year. The filter body should be thoroughly cleaned
before installing a new cartridge.

K. BURNER INSTALLATION
The burner mounts to the furnace on three mounting bolt studs, located on the burner mounting
plate, in the lower portion of the vestibule, directly in front of the heat exchanger.
The burner insertion depth has been fixed by the factory for the design-specified, combination of
the air tube length and the combustion chamber used with the furnace. The combustion chamber
is pre-positioned during the assembly process and held in place by the drum and mounting plate.
The burner insertion depth is not field-adjustable.
Should access to the chamber be necessary, refer to the exploded diagram, in the back of this
manual, to identify replacement parts.
To install and ready the burner for firing, follow the steps below for both furnace models.
1. With electrical power connected to the furnace, turn off all electrical power to unit.
2. Remove the front lower access panel.
3. Mount the burner to the furnace. Install the flange gasket over the mounting studs and
secure the burner flange to the furnace using hex head machine screw nuts, provided in
the Parts Kit.
4. Connect the burner multipin electrical connector to the multipin connector in the furnace
vestibule wiring harness.
For the oil burner installation (OMC) only:
5. Determine whether an oil return line is required and connect the fuel oil piping to the
burner oil pump through the base of the unit.
6. Turn on electrical power to the furnace. Cause or simulate a “call for heat” to bleed
air from the oil line at the oil pump. (Temporarily, connect the two thermostat leads to
cause the oil pump to run.)
7. With all oil shutoff valves open, open the air-bleed valve on the oil pump and capture
the oil flow in a container until all traces of air in the line are gone.
8. Close the air-bleed valve. Check for and correct any oil leaks. The furnace is now
ready for burner adjustment, refer to the following “BURNER OPERATION AND
ADJUSTMENT” section.
For the gas burner installation (GMC) only:
5. Connect the gas piping to the burner through the base of the unit.
6. With all gas shutoff valves open, bleed air from the gas line by opening the pipe union
closest to the furnace a small amount. Carefully, close the pipe union when the odor
of gas becomes strong. Check for and correct any subsequent gas leaks.
Wait five (5) minutes for any lingering gas to dissipate.
7. Turn on electrical power to the furnace.

All installations and services must be performed by qualified service personnel.
8. The furnace is now ready for burner adjustment, refer to the following “BURNER
OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT” section.
L. BURNER OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT
: NEVER burn garbage or refuse in the furnace. NEVER try to ignite oil or gas by
tossing burning papers or other material into your furnace.
: If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire or explosion may result
causing personal injury, loss of life or property damage.
: NEVER use gasoline or a mixture of oil and gasoline to start the burner or
furnace.
1. Qualified service personnel must perform the first lighting of the burner.
2. The burner instructions must be read and understood before any attempt is made to
light this burner.
NOTE: For the sequence of burner operations, see individual burner manual. To
successfully service and initially set up this furnace, you must use the following
instruments:
[Items (a)-(e) ... apply to both oil and gas furnaces), item (f) ... applies to gas units only,
and items (g)-(h) ... applies to oil units only]
a. Carbon dioxide (CO2) or oxygen (O2) analyzer.
b. Flue gas thermometer (range 100°F to 1000°F) and temperature-measuring
device (range -40°F to 240°F, for return and supply air temperatures).
c. Carbon monoxide (CO) detector
d. Electrical multimeter
e. Liquid, U-tube type manometer or equivalent pressure measuring instrument
(range: 0 – 28 in.W.G.)
f. Smoke spot tester or equivalent smoke density measuring device
g. Oil pressure gauge (range: 0-150 PSIG)
h. Vacuum gauge (range: 0-30 in. W.G. vacuum)
Turn the main service switch that provides power to the furnace to the “off” position. Set
thermostat above room temperature, open all fuel supply valves. Bleed air out of fuel
supply line, if not already completed (for oil, power must be “on” to the burner and the
pump must be operating to expel air in the supply line).
When ignition is established, if necessary, make a preliminary burner air adjustment to
attain a clean combustion flame (one which does not create smoke by eye). On the GMC
unit, the flame may be viewed through a sightglass mounted on the burner. On both units,
the flame may be viewed through the overfire inspection cover (see exploded diagram of

replacement parts for location identification). After the furnace is warmed up to a steady-
state condition (about 15 minutes), the final burner adjustment should be made using
combustion instrumentation for measuring carbon dioxide (CO2) or oxygen (O2), carbon
monoxide (CO), smoke (for oil furnaces), and stack temperature. In order to achieve the
most efficient combustion possible, the following steps must be taken.
IMPORTANT: To achieve proper combustion and efficiency instruments must be used
to secure CO2, O2 and CO readings.
1. CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2) or OXYGEN (O2): Take a CO2 sample from the flue pipe
or vent connector at a position close to the furnace. It is possible to achieve relatively
high CO2 (or low O2) readings with low stack temperatures to produce maximum
combustion efficiency. However, the CO2 and O2 values recommended are slightly
less, though this means slightly lower efficiency, to allow the burner to better tolerate
adverse operating conditions, such as a cold heat exchanger, downdraft conditions,
heating content changes in the fuel. This working tolerance means less service and
maintenance during heating seasons as well as a reduced chance of producing carbon
monoxide under adverse conditions.
2. CARBON MONOXIDE (CO): As described above, take a flue gas sample from the
flue pipe or vent connector at a position close to the furnace. The amount of CO
generated by combustion ideally should be zero or only a trace. In all cases, it must be
less than 50 PPM. Carbon monoxide is a colorless and odorless gas, but it is toxic
compound. The production of significant quantities of CO is a strong indicator of
incomplete combustion. Check the fuel supply and the burner for fuel leakage. Check
for an inadequate supply of clean air for combustion. Also, check for a restricted or
blocked flue, vent, or chimney.
3. SMOKE: (oil burners only) A smoke sample should be drawn from the flue pipe or
vent connector at a position close to the furnace. For the greatest efficiency, if the first
smoke reading is “0”, close the air shutter on the burner until a trace smoke reading is
obtained.
4. FLUE GAS TEMPERATURE: The flue gas temperature will vary to some degree
depending on the heating content of the fuel, the amount of combustion air, and
airflow across heat exchanger. In general, the lower the stack temperature, the higher
the efficiency. However, stack temperatures under 350°F may cause flue gases to
condense, which in turn may cause excessive metal corrosion.
5. TEMPERATURE RISE: Supply air temperature (measured twelve inches into trunk,
away from radiant heat from the furnace) minus (-) return air temperature, or
Temperature rise = Supply air temperature - Return air temperature.
29
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
All installations and services must be performed by qualified service personnel.
The temperature rise across the furnace heat exchanger operating at steady-state
conditions (about 15 to 20 minutes) should not exceed 100°F. The normal comfort
range is between 70°F to 100°F. A lower temperature rise usually results in a higher
system efficiency.
: If the temperature rise exceeds 100°F, the heat exchanger may fail, voiding
the heat exchanger warranty resulting in property damage, personal injury or loss of
life.
M. FLUE GAS COMBUSTION ANALYSIS
: Burner adjustments must be confirmed by instrumentation. Failure to
use accurate or calibrated instrumentation to correctly setup the burner may result in
reduced efficiency, sooting, and/or the production of hazardous carbon monoxide gas.
For typical burner combustion analysis results, refer to the table below.

C. HEAT EXCHANGER CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
: The heat exchanger must be cleaned by a qualified service person.
For oil-fired units, it is important to inspect and clean the heat exchanger once a year, or as
necessary, to remove any build-up of soot. A layer of soot on the inside of the heat exchanger
will act as an insulator, reducing heat transfer, resulting in reduced efficiency
For gas-fired units, the presence of a layer of soot on the heat exchanger is a strong indicator
of incomplete combustion. The burner adjustment should be rechecked as well as the firing
rate, the combustion air supply, and the vent system.
To clean the heat exchanger,
1. First, turn off all power to the unit.
2. Remove the clean-out plate, immediately above the burner (refer to Figure 8), to gain
entry to the cleanout covers.
3. Remove cleanout covers, the vent connector pipe to the chimney, the burner and the
burner mounting plate. When removing the cleanout cover, special care must be taken
not to damage the gaskets or high limit switch.
NOTE: The high limit switch may be removed for easier access to the left-hand cleanout
cover by removing the two (2) limit mounting screws. The limit must be reinstalled in the
original orientation before operating the furnace.
Should the gaskets separate, crack, break, or otherwise not be able to provide the
necessary seal, the gasket must be replaced before reattaching the cleanout cover.
4. With access to the inside of the heat exchanger through the burner cleanout openings and
the vent pipe connection, it is now possible to use a long, flexible wire brush and an
industrial-type vacuum cleaner to remove any soot build-up.
NOTE: A one inch (outside diameter) vacuum cleaner hose will fit into the radiator.
To vacuum and brush the outer radiator of the heat exchanger, go through the cleanout
openings in both directions, as shown in Figure 8.

Figure 8.
Reassemble the furnace to the original factory-built condition. Remount the burner,
being certain that the air tube is properly inserted into the chamber opening. If heavy soot
deposits were found in the heat exchanger, this indicates that the burner may be out of
adjustment. Reset the burner, as indicated under the “BURNER OPERATION AND
ADJUSTMENT”, SECTION L.
D. CLEANING OR REPLACING FLUE PIPES
Flue pipes should be inspected during the annual maintenance check-up or during each
subsequent service call.

All installations and services must be performed by qualified service personnel.
Check all flue pipes for restrictions due to soot, or carbon build-up, as well as foreign
matter, or any materials, that cause the venting system to restrict the proper venting of
combustion products. If a restriction is found, the flue pipe must be cleaned or replaced
to ensure proper venting.
Flue pipes should also be inspected for any signs of corrosion, deterioration or leakage
that may cause combustion by-products to infiltrate the home or indoor environment.
If signs of corrosion, deterioration or leakage are evident, the flue pipe must be replaced
with a properly sized, agency-approved, flue pipe.
E. EXTENDED SHUTDOWN
If this furnace is shut down or off for an extended period of time, several steps can be taken
to help insure a smooth and reliable start.
ON SHUT DOWN:
1. Close the fuel supply shutoff valve(s).
2. Turn the furnace power switch “off” and disconnect electrical power to the unit.
3. Fill the oil tank to prevent condensation (oil units only).
4. If shutdown exceeds one season, an oil stabilizer should be added to the oil tank as
recommended by your oil supplier (oil units only).
ON START-UP:
1. Have the heating system (and furnace) inspected and started by a qualified service person.
2. Check for a clean, adequate supply of fuel.
3. Set the room thermostat above room temperature.
4. Open all shutoff valves in the fuel supply line.
5. Turn “on” the main power at the disconnecting switch and at the furnace power switch to
start the burner. If the burner does not start, immediately reset the burner primary
(ignition) control module. On oil furnaces, if required, vent the fuel of air as soon as the
burner motor starts. If the burner stops during venting, wait three to five minutes before
attempting to restart.
: Do not attempt to start burner when excess fuel has accumulated inside the
furnace.
6. Follow the “BURNER OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT” procedure in Section L.
