Maintenance

 

WARNING

Electric shock hazard. Can cause injury
or death. Before attempting to perform
any service or maintenance, turn the
electrical power to unit OFF at discon-
nect switch(es). Unit may have multiple
power supplies.

Maintenance and service must be performed by a qualified
installer or service agency. At the beginning of each cooling
or heating season, the system should be checked as fol-
lows:

Outdoor Unit

 1 − Clean and inspect the outdoor coil. The coil may be

flushed with a water hose. Ensure the power is turned
off before you clean the coil.

 2 − Outdoor unit fan motor is pre-lubricated and sealed. No

further lubrication is needed.

 3 − Visually inspect all connecting lines, joints and coils for

evidence of oil leaks.

 4 − Check wiring for loose connections.
 5 − Check for correct voltage at unit (unit operating).
 6 − Check amp draw on outdoor fan motor.

Unit nameplate__________Actual__________.

 7 - Inspect drain holes in coil compartment base and clean

if necessary.

NOTE − If owner complains of insufficient cooling, the unit
should be gauged and refrigerant charge checked. Refer
to section on refrigerant charging in this instruction.

Indoor Coil

 1 − Clean coil if necessary.

 2 − Check connecting lines, joints and coil for evidence of

oil leaks.

 3 − Check condensate line and clean if necessary.

Indoor Unit

 1 − Clean or change filters.
 2 - Lennox blower motors are prelubricated and permanent-

ly sealed. No more lubrication is needed.

 3 − Adjust blower speed for cooling. Measure the pressure

drop over the coil to determine the correct blower CFM.
Refer to the unit information service manual for pressure
drop tables and procedure.

 4 −

Belt Drive Blowers − 

Check belt for wear and proper

tension.

 5 − Check all wiring for loose connections.
 6 − Check for correct voltage at unit. (blower operating)
 7 − Check amp draw on blower motor.
