Maintenance
3. Inspect the blower belt tension. Tension the belts in
accordance with the included Blower Belt Tension
Guidelines. Visually inspect the belts for indications of
wear. Replace the belts if there is evidence of cracking,
fraying, or uneven wear.
Filters
Visually inspect the prefilters, intermediate filters (if ap
-
plicable) and final filters (if applicable). If the prefilter media
appears damaged in any way, or if the media becomes wet,
change the
prefilters immediately. If the intermediate filter
media, or final filter media appears damaged, change the
filters immediately. Filters are normally replaced when the
static pressure drop through the media is double that of
new media or when the pressure drop reaches the level
indicated by the filter manufacturer. Original filter informa
-
tion is provided in the AcuAir
®
project manual.
Unit exterior
1. Visually inspect the unit exterior. The seams between
panels are factory sealed with silicon, and must be
resealed if there appears to be any degradation of the
original seal. Repaint any scratches to the exterior of the
unit with the factory-supplied touch-up paint.
2. Verify the tightness of the door seals. If there is any
indication of air infiltrating or escaping the unit through
the doors, adjust the door handles to provide a tighter
seal.
