downflow installations, factory accessory floor base MUST be
used when installed on combustible materials and wood flooring.
Special base is not required when this furnace is installed on
manufacturer’s Coil Assembly Part No. CD5 or CK5, or when Coil
Box Part No. KCAKC is used. is used.
The 58MXA 040 through 120 size units are C.S.A. (A.G.A. and
C.G.A.) design-certified for use in manufactured (mobile) homes
when factory accessory conversion kit is used. The 140 size unit is
NOT design-certified for use in manufactured (mobile) homes.
These furnaces are suitable for installation in a structure built on
site or a manufactured building completed at final site. The design
of this furnace line is NOT C.S.A. design-certified for installation
in recreation vehicles or outdoors.
This furnace is designed for continuous return-air minimum
temperature of 60 °F db or intermittent operation down to 55°F db.
Return-air temperature must not exceed 85°F db. See Fig. 4.
These furnaces are shipped with the drain and pressure tubes
connected for UPFLOW applications. Minor modifications are
required when used in DOWNFLOW, HORIZONTAL RIGHT, or
HORIZONTAL LEFT (supply-air discharge direction) applica-
tions as shown in Fig. 1. See details in Applications section.
This furnace must be installed with a direct-vent (combustion air
and flue) system and a factory accessory termination kit. In a
direct-vent system, all air for combustion is taken directly from the
outside atmosphere and all flue products are discharged to the
outside atmosphere. See furnace and factory accessory termination
kit instructions for proper installation.
These furnaces are shipped with the following materials to assist in
proper furnace installation. These materials are shipped in the main
blower compartment.

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) PRECAUTIONS
Electrostatic discharge can affect electronic components.
Take precautions during furnace installation and servicing to
protect the furnace electronic control. Precautions will pre-
vent electrostatic discharges from personnel and hand tools
which are held during the procedure. These precautions will
help to avoid exposing the control to electrostatic discharge
by putting the furnace, the control, and the person at the same
electrostatic potential.
1. Disconnect all power to the furnace. Multiple disconnects may
be required. DO NOT TOUCH THE CONTROL OR ANY
WIRE CONNECTED TO THE CONTROL PRIOR TO DIS-
CHARGING YOUR BODY’S ELECTROSTATIC CHARGE
TO GROUND.
2. Firmly touch the clean, unpainted, metal surface of the furnace
chassis which is close to the control. Tools held in hand during
grounding will be discharged.
3. You may proceed to service the control or connecting wires as
long as you do nothing to recharge your body (moving or
shuffling feet, touching ungrounded objects, etc.).
4. If you touch ungrounded objects, firmly touch a clean,
unpainted metal surface again before touching control or
wires.
5. Before removing a new control from its container, discharge
your body’s charge to ground. If the control is to be installed
in a furnace, follow items 1 through 4 before bringing the
