NOTE:

 Minimum vertical clearance above unit should be 10

feet.

 Clearance to condenser coil must be increased if more

than one side is obstructed or between adjacent units.
Consult your McQUAY  sales representative.

Service Access

Each end of the unit must be accessible after installation for peri-
odic service work. Compressors and manual liquid line shutoff valves

are accessible from the control center end of the unit through re-

movable access panels on unit sizes 089 through 159 and hinged side

access doors on unit sizes 067 and 078. All operational, safety,
and starting controls are located in the unit control center. They

are protected by a keylocked,

weatherproof enclosure which contains

internal

"dead front"

doors for protection of service personnel from

high voltage starting controls while servicing low voltage opera-
tional controls. All resettable or adjustable controls are located

just below the main control center. There is one resettable control

enclosure on each side of the unit and each enclosure contains con-
trols for compressors on that side of the unit. Capped connections

for field service gauges are also located inside these enclosures.
In addition,

each of these enclosures are removable to improve access

to compressors for field replacement.

The condenser fans, motors,

and drives are accessible through a walk-

in, keylocked access door. The access door is located at the end of

the unit opposite the control center.

An internal fan guard is located below the condenser fans and drives

on units 089 through 159. This guard must be removed to service the

fan drives but MUST always be reinstalled when service work is com-

plete.

On unit sizes 067 and 078,

an interlock switch kills power to conden-

ser fans whenever the door is opened for service work on fans or

drives.

CAUTION:

Disconnect all power to the unit while servicing condenser

fan drives.
