Richmond is not the same as Rheem/RUUD.
There is a reason that furnace manuals are not in the public domain. There
are many places where it is ILLEGAL for a homeowner to work on thir own
furnace.
FWIW, your furnace is a 2 stage, variable speed model... this is *NOT* your
Dads furnace. You will need a *QUALIFIED* tech to do any repairs on it and
make sure that its correctly adjusted. Most all of the Rheem "Top
Contractors" and/or "Top Technicians" will have the training, and special
tools to correctly make repairs and adjustments to this furnace.
