Step 4—Outdoor Fan
Keep the condenser fan free from all obstructions to ensure
proper cooling operation. Never place articles on top of the
unit. Damage to unit may result.
1. Remove 6 screws holding outdoor grille and motor to top
cover.
2. Turn motor/grille assembly upside down on top cover to
expose fan blade.
3. Inspect the fan blades for cracks or bends.
4. If fan needs to be removed, loosen setscrew and slide fan off
motor shaft.
5. When replacing fan blade, position blade so that the hub is 1/8
in. away from the motor end (1/8 in. of motor shaft will be
visible). (See Fig. 23)
6. Ensure that setscrew engages the flat area on the motor shaft
when tightening.
7. Replace grille.
Step 5—Electrical Controls and Wiring
Inspect and check the electrical controls and wiring annually. Be
sure to turn off the electrical power to the unit.
Remove access panel to locate all the electrical controls and
wiring. Check all electrical connections for tightness. Tighten all
screw connections. If any smoky or burned connections are
noticed, disassemble the connection, clean all the parts, restrip the
wire end and reassemble the connection properly and securely.
After inspecting the electrical controls and wiring, replace all the
panels. Start the unit, and observe at least one complete cooling
cycle to ensure proper operation. If discrepancies are observed in
operating cycle, or if a suspected malfunction has occurred, check
each electrical component with the proper electrical instrumenta-
tion. Refer to the unit wiring label when making these checkouts.
Step 6—Refrigerant Circuit
Inspect all refrigerant tubing connections and the unit base for oil
accumulation annually. Detecting oil generally indicates a refrig-
erant leak.
If oil is detected or if low performance is suspected, leak-test all
refrigerant tubing using an electronic leak detector, or liquid-soap
solution. If a refrigerant leak is detected, refer to Check for
Refrigerant Leaks section.
If no refrigerant leaks are found and low performance is suspected,
refer to Checking and Adjusting Refrigerant Charge section.
Step 7—Indoor Airflow
The heating and/or cooling airflow does not require checking
unless improper performance is suspected. If a problem exists, be
sure that all supply- and return-air grilles are open and free from
obstructions, and that the air filter is clean. When necessary, refer
to Indoor Airflow and Airflow Adjustments section to check the
system airflow.
Step 8—Metering Devices–TXV & Accurater Piston
This unit uses 2 types of metering devices. The outdoor metering
device is a fixed orifice and is contained in the brass hex-body in
the liquid line feeding the outdoor coils. The indoor metering
device is a TXV type device.

Charging Procedure
7- Read across from the Pressure reading to obtain the Liquid line temperature for a
required Subcooling
6- Find the Pressure Value in the table corresponding to the the measured Pressure of
the Compressor Discharge line.
5- Interpolate if the Outdoor ambient temperature lies in between the table values.
Extrapolate if the temperature lies beyond the table range.
1- Measure Discharge line pressure by attaching a gauge to the service port.
2- Measure the Liquid line temperature by attaching a temperature sensing device to it.
3- Insulate the temperature sensing device so that the Outdoor Ambient doesn’t affect
the reading.
4- Refer to the required Subcooling in the table based on the model size and the
Outdoor Ambient temperature.
8- Add Charge if the measured temperature is higher than the table value.
9- Add Charge using the service connection on the Suction line of the Compressor.
