Maintenance
I. PLENUM FILTERS
The plenum fi lters are the only parts that require routine
maintenance. They must be cleaned periodically to ensure that
they do not become clogged with dust and other particles.
Blocked fi lters must be cleaned frequently to maintain cooling
& heating performance
To clean the two plenum fi lters, fi rst remove them both from
the plenum by pulling them out of the assembly.
Fig 17: Plenum fi lter when removed.
The state of the fi lters can be ascertained from its appearance,
if they appear clogged then they should be cleaned. Generally
the fi lters can be cleaned suffi ciently by tapping them
together to shake loose the dust and particles trapped inside.
WARNING
Airborne particles can pose a health risk, particulalry to young
children and the elderly. Ensure that fi lters are cleaned in a
safe and well ventilated area.
If a more thorough clean is required then the fi lters can be
washed out using warm soapy water. Care must be taken to
avoid ripping the fabric.
The fi lters should be cleaned every two weeks or more when in
use. Prolonged use, higher concentrations of airborne particles
and various other factors may result in the fi lters needing to
be cleaned more often.
Replacement fi lters can be ordered directly from Aircommand.
II. MOUNTING BOLTS
Aircommand suggests that the hold down bolts are initially
checked for tightness within the fi rst 3 months of installation,
and thereafter every 12 months if the van is in constant use.
III. STORAGE
The air conditioner should be run on a routine basis to ensure
the components remain in working order.
If the van is in storage or is to remain unoccupied for an
extended length of time it is recommended that the air
conditioner is allowed to run uninterrupted for 20-30 minutes
once every six months.
