Maintenance
Front Load Filter Option
Front loaded filter options require that the filters be removed
and replaced from inside the unit.
To remove filters, rotate the wire clips. This releases both the
prefilter and the final filter. When installing clean filters, check
to verify the filters are fully seated in the frame (
Figure 48 ).
Figure 48: Frame and Filters with Holding Clips
Filter Gauges
Filter gauges indicate pressure drop for installed filters. If
prefilters are present, the gauge will indicate the pressure drop
for both pre- and final filters.
Table 21 shows the typical filter pressure drop for clean filters
at rated air flow. The tables also show a final pressure drop for
front loaded filters.
Where a single filter gauge is used, the prefilters can be
removed to check the pressure drop of the final filters.

Coils
1
To obtain maximum performance, the coil must be clean.
Check once a year under normal operating conditions and,
if dirty, brush or vacuum clean. Use a chemical coil cleaner
on multiple row coils. Read and follow the chemical
cleaner’s instructions as some cleaners may contain harsh
chemicals. Take care not to damage fins while cleaning.
CAUTION—Fin edges are sharp.
2
Drain pans in any air conditioning unit may have some
moisture. Algae, etc., can grow due to airborne spores and
bacteria. Periodic cleaning is necessary to prevent this
buildup from plugging the drain and causing the drain pan
to overflow. Also, keep the drain pans clean to prevent the
spread of disease. Cleaning should be performed by
qualified personnel.
3
Dirt and lint can clog the condensate drain, especially with
dirty filters. Inspect twice a year to help avoid overflow.
