SERVICE
When servicing unit, shut off all electrical power to unit
to avoid shock hazard or injury from rotating parts.
Cleaning —
Inspect unit interior at the beginning of each
heating and cooling season and as operating conditions
require.
EVAPORATOR COIL — Clean coil as required. Inspect coil
at beginning of heating and cooling seasons.
1. Turn unit power off. Remove evaporator coil access panel.
2. If economizer is installed, remove economizer by
disconnecting Molex plug and removing economizer mount-
ing screws. Refer to Accessory Economizer Installation
Instructions
or
Optional
Economizer
sections
on
pages 12 and 15 for more details.
3. Slide filters out of unit.
4. Clean coil using a commercial coil cleaner or dishwasher
detergent in a pressurized spray canister. Wash both sides
of coil and flush with clean water. For best results, back-
flush toward return-air section to remove foreign
material.
5. Flush condensate pan after completion.
6. Reinstall economizer and filters.
7. Reconnect wiring.
8. Replace access panels.
CONDENSER COIL — Inspect coil monthly. Clean con-
denser coil annually, and as required by location and outdoor-
air conditions.
One-Row Coils — Wash coil with commercial cleaner. Clean
outer surfaces with a stiff brush in the normal manner. It is
not necessary to remove top panel.
2-Row Coils — Clean coil as follows:
1. Turn off unit power.
2. Remove top panel screws on condenser end of unit.
3. Remove condenser coil corner post. See Fig. 37. To hold
top panel open, place coil corner post between top panel
and center post. See Fig. 38.
4. Remove screws securing coil to center post.
5. Remove fastener holding coil sections together at return
end of condenser coil. Carefully separate the outer coil
section 3 to 4 in. from the inner coil section. See
Fig. 39.
6. Use a water hose or other suitable equipment to flush down
between the 2 coil sections to remove dirt and debris. Clean
the outer surfaces with a stiff brush in the normal manner.
7. Secure inner and outer coil rows together with a field-
supplied fastener.
8. Reposition the outer coil section and remove the coil cor-
ner post from between the top panel and center post.
9. Reinstall the coil corner post and replace all screws.
CONDENSATE DRAIN — Check and clean each year at
start of cooling season. In winter, keep drain dry or protect
against freeze-up.
FILTERS — Clean or replace at start of each heating and
cooling season, or more often if operating conditions require
it. Replacement filters must be same dimensions as original
filters.
Lubrication
COMPRESSORS — Each compressor is charged with the
correct amount of oil at the factory.
FAN-MOTOR BEARINGS — Fan-motor bearings are of
the permanently lubricated type. No further lubrication is
required. No lubrication of condenser- or evaporator-fan
motors is required.
