Unit Maintenance

WARNING 

!

Risk of electric shock, can cause injury and death.

Disconnect all power sources before inspecting the fan.

Disconnect all electrical power sources when working inside 

the unit. Potentially lethal voltages exist within the equipment 

during operation.

Review all cautions and WARNINGs contained in this 

manual. Only qualified personnel should service this unit.

Maintenance consists mainly of removing dirt and debris from 

the outer surface of the fins and repairing any damage to them. 

For units installed in corrosive environments, cleaning of the fins 

should be part of the regular maintenance program.
In this type of installation, dust and debris should be removed 

promptly to avoid build-up that will interfere with the regular 

operation of the unit.

CONDENSER

FILTER DRIER

Any particles from the condenser piping, compressor or various 

components are swept by the refrigerant into the liquid line and 

trapped by the filter drier.

It is recommended that the filter drier be replaced each time a 

refrigerant line repair is performed.

WARNING 

!

Risk of electric shock, may cause injury and death.

Risk of serious injury. Fan may start up and cause injury. 

Disconnect all power sources before inspecting the fan.

EXPANSION VALVE

The function of the expansion valve is to maintain adequate 

supply of refrigerant to the evaporator. This is in order to satisfy 

the charge conditions.

Before adjusting the superheat, verify that the unit charge is 

correct and that the liquid line is completely full and free of bubbles, 

and that the circuit is operating under stable load conditions The 

superheat suction for the evaporator suction discharge is factory 

set for 10°F.

WARNING 

!

Risk of explosive discharge of refrigerant at high pressure. 

This can cause personal injury or equipment damage.   

Never loosen refrigerant or electrical line connections until 

the compressor has been depressurized on both sides.

ANNUAL MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE 

Before performing any work on the unit, make sure you have 

the proper Personal Safety Equipment (EPS), and that the unit 

is turned off and idle. It is also recommended that the unit be 

turned on 24 hours prior to first start-up to begin warming up the 

compressor crankcase.
