Other Maintenance
While cleaning the system with scale remover,
check for water leaks at the bottom of the
evaporator. If any are found, call for service.
Note: It is normal for some lime scale to form on
the gear reducer cover. Wipe up any loose scale.
Check the top bearing.
The top bearing is non-metallic and requires no
lubrication. However, it should be checked for wear
occasionally. The top panel must be removed to
access the bearing.
