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. Optimum filter performance is maintained by recoating the filters
after washing with RP Super Filter Coat adhesive. 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 lower access cover. To access filter, pull ring protruding from slot in
bottom of front cover, or remove the lower access cover by removing the two screws at the bottom of unit, the
filter is held in the cover, slide filter out. 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 AIR MOVERS
Impeller motors require no maintenance. All bearings, shafts, etc. are lubricated during manufacturing for the
life of the motor.
If the condenser impeller motor (ambient impeller) 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 lower access panel.
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.
