Routine Maintenance
Air Filters
WARNING
Rotating Components!
Disconnect all electric power, including remote disconnects before servicing. Follow proper
lockout/ tagout procedures to ensure the power can not be inadvertently energized. Secure
drive sheaves to ensure rotor cannot freewheel. Failure to secure drive sheaves or disconnect
power before servicing could result in death or serious injury.
Refer to product catalog CLCH-PRC003-EN for filter sizes, types, and quantities.
Throwaway Filters
To replace throwaway filters, install new filters with the directional arrows pointing in the direction
of airflow.
Note:
Bag and cartridge filters must have an airtight seal to prevent air bypass. If using other than
Trane-supplied filters, apply foam gasketing to the vertical edges of the filter.
Permanent Filters
To clean permanent filters:
1.
Disconnect all electrical power to the unit.
2. Wash the filter under a stream of water to remove dirt and lint.
3. Remove oil from the filter with a wash of mild alkali solution.
4. Rinse the filter in clean, hot water and allow to dry.
5. Coat both sides of the filter by immersing or spraying it with Air Maze Filter Kote W or an
equivalent.
6. Allow to drain and dry for about 12 hours.
7.
Reinstall the filter.
Note:
It may be preferable to keep extra, clean filters to replace the dirty filters to minimize unit
downtime for filter maintenance.
Cartridge or Bag Filters
To replace cartridge or bag filters:
1.
Disconnect all electrical power to the unit.
2. Remove the dirty filters and block-offs from their installed position.
3. Keeping the new bag filters folded, slide each filter into the filter rack, pushing them tightly
against the unit.
Note:
The pleats should be in the vertical position.
4. If using the optional pre-filters, replace them on the appropriate filter rack.
5. If fixed and adjustable block-offs are provided with the unit, slide the fixed block-offs into the
filter track before the adjustable block-off.
Note:
The adjustable block-off should always be installed last, next to the access door.
6. Close and secure the access door. If the door can be closed without compressing the filter,
adjust the block-off by loosening its screws and position it to provide an airtight seal.
