SECTION 4 – MAINTENANCE
Make sure power is removed from the unit
before performing the maintenance items
contained in this section of the manual.
GENERAL
A planned program of regularly scheduled maintenance
will return dividends by averting possible costly and un-
expected periods of down time. It is the responsibility of
the owner to provide the necessary maintenance for the
air handling units and coils. If a system failure occurs
due to improper maintenance during the warranty peri-
od, Johnson Controls will not be liable for costs incurred
to return the unit to satisfactory operation.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE – MONTHLY
Filters
Check the cleanliness of the filters and replace or clean
as required.
Linkages
Examine the damper and operator linkages to insure
that each is free and operating smoothly.
Compressors
Oil Level Check:
The oil level can only be tested
when the compressor is running in stabilized condi-
tions, to ensure that there is no liquid refrigerant in the
lower shell of the compressor. When the compressor
is running in stabilized conditions, the oil level must
be between 1/4 and 3/4 in the oil sight glass. Note: at
shutdown, the oil level can fall to the bottom limit of
the oil sight glass.
Oil Analysis:
Use YORK Type “T” POE oil (clear) for
units charged with R-410a refrigerant. The type of re-
frigerant and amount per system is listed on the unit
rating plate. A change in the oil color or odor may be an
indication of contaminates in the refrigeration system.
If this occurs, an oil sample should be taken and ana-
lyzed. If contaminations are present, the system must
be cleaned to prevent compressor failure. This can be
accomplished through the installation of oversized suc-
tion and liquid line driers. The driers may have to be
changed several times to clean up the system depend-
ing on the degree of contamination.
Never use the scroll compressor to pump
the refrigerant system down into a vacu-
um. Doing so will cause internal arcing
of the compressor motor, which will result
in failure of compressor.
Fan Bearing Lubrication
Add grease slowly with shaft rotating until a slight
bead forms at the seals. If necessary, re-lubricate while
bearing is stationary. The fan data plate (attached to
the fan scroll) lists the type of grease that must be used
for lubricating the bearings. Refer to
Re-lubrication is generally accompanied by a tempo-
rary rise in operating temperature. Excess grease is
purged at seals.
