Seasonal Start-Up And Maintenance
Beginning of cooling and heating seasons, complete
mechanical check should be performed and maintenance/
inspections performed as described below.
Disconnect power to unit and remove necessary access
panels:
1.
Remove access panel. Visually inspect equipment.
Look for obvious changes in unit such as damaged coils
or evidence of extended wear on any moving parts.
2.
Check for unusual odors or leaks (examples: burnt
motor windings, water, or refrigerant). Verify base pan
is clean.
3.
Clean or replace return air filter as needed. Check filter
at least once month. Some environments may require
more frequent replacement, depending on particulate
in air stream.
4.
Inspect all electrical connections for frayed wires and
poor connections.
5.
Check fan motors and blower assemblies. Verify screws
and motor mounting hardware are tight.
6.
Centrifugal fan blades and blower cage brush and/or
vacuum as necessary.
7.
Inspect both indoor and outdoor coils. Use fin comb to
straighten out any damaged fins.
NOTICE
Do not use solvent based cleaner to clean coils,
some solvents will produce noxious odor when unit
is in operation or may deteriorate components.
8.
Look for oil leaks or stains on or around all braze joints
and refrigerant lines. Presence of oil here indicates
potentially serious problem, such as refrigerant leak.
9.
Inspect and clean drain pan and drain line(s). Use of
anti-fungicide tablet to keep condensate system free
from bacterial contaminants is recommended.
10.
Verify unit is level for proper operation. Building and
equipment may settle, causing shift in direction of
condensate flow. Verify weep holes along rear flange of
base pan are free of debris.
WARNING
Electrical shock hazard. Disconnect power to unit
before servicing or accessing control compartment.
Failure to do follow these instructions could result in
death or serious injury.
!
NOTICE
Perform regular service and maintenance by
qualified service agency at least once every 12
months to assure safe, trouble free operation and
maximum efficiency.
NOTICE
