Filter Access
Each unit is shipped with a filter bracket for side filter
removal. For bottom removal push the filter up into top
bracket to gain clearance of bottom bracket and remove
the filter. Also, a sheet metal duct filter retainer can be
fabricated when return air duct work is used.
Air Discharge Conversion
Unit sizes 007 thru 060 are stocked as straight
discharge. A straight discharge unit may be converted to
an end discharge by doing the following:
Note:
The information covered in this section of the
blower assembly orientation is typical of Daikin
units. Regardless, if you are changing end to
straight or straight to end the blower assembly
has to turn 90 degrees and simultaneously rotate
180 degrees to achieve the proper orientation.
Not all Daikin units will have the same air dis-
charge location but will have the same general
results when following the instructions.
