Maintenance
9.1.
Service vs. Maintenance
There is a noteworthy distinction between the activ
ities of “maintenance” on one hand and
“service” on the other. Maintenance is a partial or total renewal of an item. Maintenance reduces
the physical age of an item or can even “zero time” the item by rejuvenating some or all of its
components.
“Service”, as necessary; is to achieve the design life of the asset. Service is
something that we must do, operationally, if we wish to achieve the components inherent
reliability.

General Maintenance Requirements
NOTE:
This maintenance section applies only to the standard units
unless otherwise specified. Many units manufactured by Data Aire have
special or custom features that may not be covered under this
maintenance section.
Data Aire units have been designed to operate continuously, provided they are regularly
maintained and operated within the limitations given in this manual. Each unit should be included
in a routine schedule of daily maintenance checks by the operator/customer, backed up by
regular service inspection and maintenance visits by a suitably qualified Service Technician.
Good maintenance practices are essential to minimizing operation costs and maximizing product
life.
It is entirely the responsibility of the owner or personnel to provide for these regular maintenance
requirements and/or enter into a maintenance agreement with a Data Aire Authorized Service
Company to protect the operation of the unit.
Data Aire recommends the use of trained and authorized service personnel, extended service
contracts and factory-specified replacement parts. Contact Data Aire Service Department for
additional information.
If damage or a system failure occurs due to improper maintenance during the warranty period,
Data Aire shall not be liable for costs incurred to return the unit to satisfactory condition. See
Data Aire warranty for additional details.

Daily Maintenance
The following maintenance checks should be carried out daily by the operator/customer. Please
note that the units are not generally user serviceable and no attempt should be made to rectify
faults or problems found during daily checks unless competent and equipped to do so. If in any
doubt, contact Data Aire Service Department.
