Step 3.  

Determine blade rotation – on the 

concave side of the blade is a blade marking 
showing 6WR, 6WL, 7WL, 7WR, or 9WR.  The 
“L” and “R” denote the rotation of the blade.   

 
Step 4. 

Replace the pitch insert in the blade root 

with an insert of the desired pitch.   
 

 

 

Step 5. 

Replace blades to their original location. 

 
Step 6. 

Replace all nuts, bolts, and washers on 

the fan hub.   

 
Step 7.

 Replace retaining plates and center boss 

to original location.   

 
Step 8.

 Tighten nuts and bolts to 14 ft-lbs of 

torque.   
 

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE 

 
General: 

• Qualified technicians must perform routine 
service checks and maintenance. This includes 
reading and recording the condensing and 
suction pressures and checking for normal sub-
cooling and superheat (see charging information 
beginning on page 14). 
• Air-cooled and evaporative-cooled condenser 
units require different maintenance 
schedules/procedures. Unit specific instructions 
for both types are included in this manual. 

 

Compressors: 

The scroll compressors are fully hermetic and 
require no maintenance except keeping the shell 
clean. 
 

Refrigerant Filter Driers: 

Each refrigerant circuit contains a replaceable 
core filter drier. Replacement is recommended 
when there is excessive pressure drop across the 
assembly or moisture is indicated in a liquid line 
sight glass. 
 

 

 

The filter driers are provided with pressure taps 
and shutoff valves for isolation when changing 
the core. For safety purposes a service manifold 
must be attached prior to filter maintenance. 
 
 

 

 
 
 

 

 
 
Evaporator/Heat Exchangers: 

Normally no maintenance or service work will be 
required for a matching direct expansion 
evaporator with a thermal expansion valve to 
regulate refrigerant.
