UNIT TOP REMOVAL
NOTE:
When performing maintenance or service procedures that
require removal of the unit top, be sure to perform all of the routine
maintenance procedures that require top removal, including coil
inspection and cleaning, and condensate drain pan inspection and
cleaning.
Only qualified service personnel should perform maintenance and
service procedures that require unit top removal. Refer to the
following top removal procedures:
1. Remove 7 screws on unit top cover surface. (Save all screws.)
2. Remove 4 screws on unit top cover flange. (Save all screws.)
3. Lift top from unit carefully. Set top on edge and make sure
that top is supported by unit side that is opposite duct (or
plenum) side.
4. Carefully replace and secure unit top to unit, using screws
removed in Steps 1 and 2, when maintenance and/or service
procedures are completed.
INDOOR BLOWER AND MOTOR
NOTE:
Motors without oilers are prelubricated. Do not attempt to
lubricate these motors.
For longer life, operating economy, and continuing efficiency,
clean accumulated dirt and grease from the blower wheel and
motor annually.
Lubricate the motor every 5 years if the motor is used intermit-
tently (thermostat FAN switch in AUTO. position), or every 2
years if the motor is used continuously (thermostat FAN switch in
ON position).
Disconnect and tag electrical power to the unit before
cleaning the blower motor and wheel. Failure to adhere to this
warning could cause personal injury or death.
To clean the blower motor and wheel:
1. Remove and disassemble blower assembly as follows:
a. Remove unit access panel.
b. For PSC Blower Motors Disconnect motor lead from
indoor fan relay (IFR). Disconnect yellow lead from
terminal L2 of the contactor.
c. On all units remove blower assembly from unit. Remove
screws securing blower and slide assembly out. Be careful
not to tear insulation in blower compartment.
d. Ensure proper reassembly by marking blower wheel and
motor in relation to blower housing before disassembly.
e. Loosen setscrew(s) that secures wheel to motor shaft,
remove screws that secure motor mount brackets to hous-
ing, and slide motor and motor mount out of housing.

* Air delivery values are based on operating voltage of 230-v dry coil, without filter or electric heater. Deduct wet coil, filter and electric heater pressure drops to obtain
static pressure available for ducting.
NOTES:
1. Do not operate the unit at a cooling airflow that is less than 350 cfm for each 12,000 Btuh of rated cooling capacity. Indoor coil frosting may occur at airflows below
this point.
2. Dashes indicate portions of table that are beyond the blower motor capacity or are not recommended.
