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

Motor Nameplate:_________ Actual:__________.

7 -   Inspect drain holes in coil compartment base and 

clean if necessary.

NOTE

 – 

If  insufficient  heating  or  cooling  occurs,  the 

unit should be gauged and refrigerant charge should be 

checked. 

Outdoor Coil 

It  may  be  necessary  to  flush  the  outdoor  coil  more  fre

-

quently if it is exposed to substances which are corrosive 

or which block airflow across the coil (e.g., pet urine, cot

-

tonwood  seeds,  fertilizers,  fluids  that  may  contain  high 

levels of corrosive chemicals such as salts) 
• 

 Outdoor Coil – The outdoor coil may be flushed with a 

water hose. 

• 

 Outdoor Coil (Sea Coast) – Moist air in ocean locations 

can carry salt, which is corrosive to most metal. Units 

that are located near the ocean require frequent in-

spections and maintenance. These inspections will de-

termine the necessary need to wash the unit including 

the outdoor coil. Consult your installing contractor for 

proper intervals/procedures for your geographic area or 

service contract. 

Indoor Unit 

1. Clean or change filters. 
2.  Lennox  blower  motors  are  prelubricated  and  perma

-

nently 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. 

Motor Nameplate:_________ Actual:__________. 

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. 

HOMEOWNER

 

Cleaning of the outdoor unit's coil should be performed by 

a trained service technician. Contact your dealer and set 

up a schedule (preferably twice a year, but at least once a 

year) to inspect and service your outdoor unit. The follow-

ing maintenance may be performed by the homeowner.

 IMPORTANT

After testing has been completed, properly reposition 

test jumper across desired timing pins 

Maintenance  

DEALER

 WARNING

Electric Shock Hazard. Can cause injury or 

death. Unit must be properly grounded in 

accordance with national and local codes.

Line  voltage  is  present  at  all  components 

when unit is not in operation on units with 

single-pole contactors. Disconnect all remote 

electric power supplies before opening 

access panel. Unit may have multiple power 

supplies.

 WARNING

Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service 

or maintenance can cause property damage, personal 

injury or loss of life. Installation and service must  be 

performed by a licensed professional HVAC installer or 

equivalent, service agency, or the gas supplier.

NOTICE !

Failure to follow instructions will cause damage to 

the unit.
This unit is equipped with an aluminum coil. 

Aluminum coils may be damaged by exposure to 

solutions with a pH below 5 or above 9. The alumi-

num coil should be cleaned using potable water 

at a moderate pressure (less than 50psi). If the 

coil cannot be cleaned using water alone, Lennox 

recommends use of a coil cleaner with a pH in the 

range of 5 to 9. The coil must be rinsed thoroughly 

after cleaning.
In coastal areas, the coil should be cleaned with 

potable water several times per year to avoid corro-

sive buildup (salt).

Maintenance and service must be performed by a quali-

fied installer or service agency. At the beginning of each 

cooling season, the system should be checked as follows:

Outdoor Unit

1 - 

 Clean and inspect outdoor coil (may be flushed with 

a water hose). Ensure power is off before cleaning.

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.
