UNIT ARRANGEMENT AND ACCESS
General
Figures 1 and 2 show general unit arrangement and access
locations.

Routine Maintenance
These items should be part of a routine maintenance program,
to be checked every month or two, until a specific schedule for
each can be identified for this installation:
QUARTERLY INSPECTION (AND 30 DAYS AFTER
INITIAL START)
• Return air filter replacement
• Outdoor hood inlet filters cleaned
• Condenser coil cleanliness checked
• Condensate drain checked
SEASONAL MAINTENANCE
These items should be checked at the beginning of each season
(or more often if local conditions and usage patterns dictate):
Air Conditioning
• Ensure outdoor fan motor mounting bolts are tight
• Ensure compressor mounting bolts are tight
• Inspect outdoor fan blade positioning
• Ensure control box is clean
• Check control box wiring condition
• Ensure wire terminals are tight
• Check refrigerant charge level
• Ensure indoor coils are clean
• Check supply blower motor amperage
Heating
• Heat exchanger flue passageways cleanliness
• Gas burner condition
• Gas manifold pressure
• Heating temperature rise
Economizer or Outside Air Damper
• Check inlet filters condition
• Check damper travel (economizer)
• Check gear and dampers for debris and dirt
Air Filters and Screens
Each unit is equipped with return air filters. If the unit has an
economizer, it will also have an outside air screen. If a manual
outside air damper is added, an inlet air screen will also be
present.
Each of these filters and screens will need to be periodically
replaced or cleaned.
Filters
RETURN AIR FILTERS
Return air filters are disposable fiberglass media type. Access
to the filters is through the small lift-out panel located on the
rear side of the unit, above the evaporator/return air access
panel. (See Fig. 3.)
To remove the filters:
1. Grasp the bottom flange of the upper panel.
2. Lift up and swing the bottom out until the panel disen
-
gages and pulls out.
3. Reach inside and extract the filters from the filter rack.
4. Replace these filters as required with similar replacement
filters of same size.
To re-install the access panel:
1. Slide the top of the panel up under the unit top panel.
2. Slide the bottom into the side channels.
3. Push the bottom flange down until it contacts the top of
the lower panel (or economizer top).
OUTSIDE AIR HOOD
Outside air hood inlet screens are permanent aluminum-mesh
type filters. Check these for cleanliness. Remove the screens
when cleaning is required. Clean by washing with hot low-
pressure water and soft detergent and replace all screens before
restarting the unit. Observe the flow direction arrows on the
side of each filter frame.
ECONOMIZER INLET AIR SCREEN
This air screen is retained by filter clips under the top edge of
the hood. (See Fig. 3.)

CAUTION
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this CAUTION can result in premature wear
and damage to equipment.
DO NOT OPERATE THE UNIT WITHOUT THE RETURN
AIR FILTERS IN PLACE.
Dirt and debris can collect on heat exchangers and coils
possibly resulting in a small fire. Dirt buildup on components
can cause excessive current used resulting in motor failure.
