High altitude kit (59M17) is used to convert all G40DF,
G40UH, G43UF, G50DF, G50UH, G51MP, G60UH(V),
G60DF(V) and G61MP(V) units which are fueled by
natural gas for operation at altitudes higher than 7500
feet (2286 m) above sea level. Units installed in these
applications
may also require
installation
of a
replacement
pressure
switch, which
is ordered
separately. Refer to table 1 for pressure switch
requirements. All pressure switches are factory-set and
require no adjustment. G51MP and G61MP(V) units
require two pressure switches.

&CAUTION

1 - Set the thermostat to the lowest setting. Shut off the
gas supply to the furnace, then disconnect the
electrical power.
2- Remove the heating compartment access panel.
Remove burner box cover, if necessary. Turn the
automatic gas valve knob, or switch the gas valve
lever, to the OFF position (figures 3, 4, 5 and 6).
3 - Disconnect the gas supply from the gas valve. Mark
the wires for identification and disconnect the wiring
at the gas valve.
4 - Remove the four manifold securing screws, Remove
the manifold/gas valve assembly, Replace the main
burner orifices with the provided orifices (.086). See
figure 1.
5- Re-install the manifold/valve assembly. Reconnect
wiring to the gas valve.
6- Units installed at altitudes higher than 7500 feet
above sea level may require a replacement pressure
switch assembly. See table 1 for the proper switch
assembly. Refer to figure 2 for pressure switch
location.

NOTE - Shut unit off and remove manometer as soon as
an accurate reading has been obtained. Take care to
replace pressure tap plug.
G43UF, G51MP and G61MP(V) Units Only- During this
test procedure, the unit will be overfiring:
• Operate unit only long enough to obtain accurate
reading to prevent overheating heat exchanger.
• Attempts to clock gas meter during this procedure will
be inaccurate. Measure gas flow rate only during
normal unit operation.

test is complete, return hose to gas valve barbed

10 - Turn on all electrical power to the unit.
11 - Set the thermostat to desired setting.
12-If the furnace will not operate, see the section
"Turning Off Gas to the Unit" and call your service
technician or gas supplier.
B - Turning Off Gas To the Unit
1 - Set the thermostat to its lowest setting.
2 - Turn off all the electrical power to the unit.
3 - Remove the heat section access panel.
4 - Turn the knob on the gas valve clockwise1{_
(or
move the lever) to the OFF position. Do not force.
C - Verifying the Gas Line Pressure
Check the gas line pressure while the unit is operating.
Maintain a minimum of 4.5" w.c. (1.12 kPa) and a
maximum of 10.5" w.c. (2.61 kPa). See figures 3, 4, 5 and
6 for the location of the inlet pressure tap on the gas
valve.
D - Measuring & Adjusting the Manifold Pressure
NOTE - Pressure test adapter kit (10L34) is available from
Lennox to facilitate manifold pressure measurement.
1 - Connect test gauge to outlet tap on gas valve.
2- G43UF, G51MP and G61MP(V) Units Only -Disconnect pressure sensing hose from gas valve.
3 - Start unit on low heat (two-stage units only) and allow
5 minutes for unit to reach steady state.
4- While waiting for the unit to stabilize, notice the
flame. Flame should be stable and should not lift
from burner. Natural gas should burn blue.
5 - After allowing unit to stabilize for 5 minutes, record
manifold pressure and compare to values given in
low-fire columns in table 2.
6 - Repeat steps 3, 4 and 5 on high heat (single-stage
and two stage units). Compare with values given in
high fire columns in table 2.

E - Verifying the Gas Rate
The gas input must not exceed the amount shown on the
unit's rating plate. In cases where gas is not metered, the
service technician who is performing the conversion will
need to install a temporary meter to perform this
procedure. Check the input by the following method:
Contact the utility company for the heating value of the
gas. Shut offall other appliances during the input check.
Locate the meter just upstream in regulated pressure
[4.5" w.c. to 10.5" w.c. (1.12kPa to 2.61kPa)]. To check the
Btu input rate, time the dial hand on the gas meter for at
least one revolution, using the one cubic foot dial.
To assure accurate measurements, use temperature and
pressure correction factors for the meter.
To determine the number of seconds required for the flow
of one cubic foot of gas, use the following formula:

kPa
.87
