Gas valve adjustment procedure
If adjustment of the gas valve is deemed necessary, use the 
following procedure: 
Locate the throttle adjustment screw on the side of the 
venturi valve (FIG. 3-2).  Using a screwdriver, turn the screw 
a 1/4 turn counterclockwise to increase CO
2
 levels or a 1/4 
turn clockwise to decrease CO
2
 levels.  After performing 
one adjustment on the valve, follow the Combustion 
Analysis Procedure on page 46 of this manual to measure the 
combustion.
If combustion is still not within the specified range, repeat 
the procedure.  This procedure SHOULD NOT be performed 
more than four (4) times.  If after four (4) adjustments and 
the combustion is still not within the specified range, revisit 
the possible causes in Table 3-6 or replace the gas valve.
