Each furnace requires 1 or 2 filters which are installed in the
blower compartment. (See Fig. 4.) The filter(s) may be located at
the bottom or side of the blower compartments, depending on
return duct location. To remove filters for cleaning or replacement,
proceed as follows:
1. Turn off electrical supply before removing blower and
control access doors.
2. Release filter retainer from clip at front of furnace casing.
(See Fig. 4.) For side return, clips may be used on either or
both sides of the furnace.
3. Slide filter out.
4. Clean filters by spraying tap water through filter from
opposite direction of airflow.
5. Rinse and let dry. Oiling or coating of filter is not
recommended or required.
6. Place filter in furnace.
7. Fasten filter retainer in front slot.
8. Replace blower and control access doors and turn on
electrical supply to furnace.
B.
Blower Motor and Wheel
For long life, economy, and high efficiency, clean accumulated dirt
and grease from the blower wheel and motor annually.
The following steps should be performed by a qualified service
technician:
The motors have prelubricated sealed bearings and require no
lubrication.
Remember to disconnect the electrical supply before removing
access doors.
Clean as follows:
1. Remove blower access door.
2. Disconnect blower electrical leads from motor. Squeeze
latches to remove connectors from motor. Disconnect green
ground wire from screw. Note location of wires for reas-
sembly.
3. Remove control.
4. Remove screws holding blower assembly to blower deck
and slide blower assembly out of furnace.
5. Mark blower wheel, motor, and motor support in relation to
blower housing before disassembly to ensure proper reas-
sembly.
6. Loosen setscrew(s) holding blower wheel on motor shaft.
7. Remove bolts holding motor and motor mount to blower
housing and slide motor and mount out of housing. Motor
mount belly band need not be removed unless motor is to be
replaced.
CAUTION:
The blower wheel should not be dropped or
bent as balance will be affected.
8. Remove blower wheel from housing.
a. Mark cutoff plate location to ensure proper reassembly.
b. Remove screws holding cutoff plate and remove cutoff
plate from housing.
c. Lift blower wheel from housing through opening.
9. Clean blower wheel and motor using a vacuum with soft
brush attachment. Do not remove or disturb balance weights
(clips) on blower wheel blades.
10. Reinstall blower wheel by reversing items 8 a through c. Be
sure wheel is positioned for proper rotation.
11. Reassemble motor and blower by reversing items 6 and 7.
CAUTION:
Be sure the motor is properly positioned in
the blower housing. The motor arrow must point in the
direction of airflow through the furnace after the blower
assembly has been reinstalled in the furnace.
12. Reinstall blower assembly in furnace.
13. Reinstall control. Be sure motor ground wire is connected
as before.
14. Reinstall vent connector on furnace flue collar. After fully
assembling vent connector to furnace flue collar, securely
fasten vent connector to flue collar with 2 field-supplied,
corrosion-resistant, sheet metal screws located 180 degrees
apart and midway up the collar.
15. Connect blower electrical leads to motor. Please note that
connections are polarized for assembly. DO NOT FORCE.
16. If power choke is attached to blower housing, ensure it is
connected in series with black power lead to motor.
17. Replace blower and control access doors and turn on
electrical power to furnace.
