Maintenance

 

WARNING

Electric shock hazard. Can cause inju-
ry or death. Before attempting to per-
form any service or maintenance, turn
the electrical power to unit OFF at dis-
connect switch(es). Unit may have
multiple power supplies.

Maintenance and service must be performed by a quali-
fied installer or service agency. At the beginning of each
cooling or heating 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 prelubricated and sealed. No

further lubrication is needed.

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

evidence of oil leaks.

 4 − Check all 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.

 7 − Check amp−draw on blower motor.

Motor nameplate_______Actual_______.
