• Are there any loose parts that will rattle or vibrate?
• Is condensate drain pan pitched for correct drainage?
• Are coil baffle plates tight against coil to prevent air
bypass?
• Are all panels securely fastened?
• Are all electrical connections correct and tight?

Adjusting TXV for Superheat (40RUA and
40RUQ only)
The unit-mounted thermostatic expansion valve(s) is/are factory
set to provided superheat at the bulb location in 10°F to 15°F
(5.5°C to 8.3°C) range. Actual system load conditions may re -
quire adjustment of the factory setting. (See Fig. 22.)
To adjust the TXV superheat setting:
1. Remove the seal cap from the bottom of the TXV body.
2. To increase superheat, turn the stem clockwise. To decrease
the superheat, turn the stem counterclockwise. Do not turn the
stem more than one full turn.
3. Wait until suction pressure and superheat stabilize. This may
take more than 30 minutes.
4. Continue adjustment until superheat reaches 10°F to 15°F
(5.5°C to 8.3°C).
5. Replace the seal cap; tighten.

SERVICE
Inspection and maintenance should be performed at regular inter -
vals and should include the following:
• Complete cleaning of cabinet, fan wheel, cooling coil, con -
densate pan and drain, heating coils, and return-air grille
(if present).
• Inspection of panels and sealing of unit against air leakage.
• Adjustment of fan motor, belt, bearings, and wheels.
• Cleaning or replacement of filters.
• Testing for cooling/heating system leaks.
• Checking of all electrical connections.
Most unit service can be performed by removing one or both of
the unit’s side panels. Coil cleaning, removal or insulation clean -
ing may require removal of a rear, top, or bottom panel, depending
on the unit’s orientation. When service is completed, replace unit
panels.
Panels
Panels are fastened to unit frame with sheet metal screws. Fan and
coil compartment must be sealed tightly after service to prevent air
from bypassing the cooling coil.
