HOW TO REMOVE, CLEAN OR INSTALL A NEW INLET AIR FILTER
RP aluminum washable air filters are designed to provide excellent filtering efficiency with a high dust holding
capacity and a minimum amount of resistance to air flow. Because they are constructed entirely of aluminum
they are lightweight and easy to service. To achieve maximum performance from your air handling equipment, air
filters should be cleaned on a regular basis.
The inlet air filter is located behind the front access cover. To access the filter, loosen the access-cover screw.
Swing top edge of access cover forward. Slide air filter up and out of retaining tabs. The filter may now be cleaned
or new filter installed.
Cleaning Instructions:
1. Flush the filter with warm water from the exhaust side to the intake side. DO NOT USE CAUSTICS.
2. After flushing, allow filter to drain. Placing it with a corner down will assure complete drainage.
3. Recoat the filters with RP Super Filter Coat adhesive. When spraying filter do so from both sides
for maximum concentration of adhesive.
CONDENSER AND EVAPORATOR BLOWERS
Blower motors require no maintenance. All bearings, shafts, etc. are lubricated during manufacturing for the life
of the motor.
If the condenser blower motor (ambient blower) should fail, it is not necessary to remove the air conditioner from
the cabinet or enclosure to replace the blower. The condenser blower is mounted on its’ own bulkhead and is
easily accessible by removing the front cover.
Operation of the air conditioner in areas containing airborne
caustics or chemicals can rapidly deteriorate filters, condenser
coils, blowers and motors, etc. Contact Pentair Equipment
Protection for special recommendations.
CAUTION
REFRIGERANT LOSS
Each air conditioner is thoroughly tested prior to leaving the factory to insure against refrigeration leaks. Shipping
damage or microscopic leaks not found with sensitive electronic refrigerant leak detection equipment during
manufacture may require repair or recharging of the system. This work should only be performed by qualified
professionals, generally available through a local, reputable air conditioning repair or service company.
Refer to the data on the nameplate, which specifies the type of refrigerant and the charge size in ounces.
Before recharging, make sure there are no leaks and that the system has been properly evacuated into a deep
vacuum.
