Routine Maintenance
Motor Bearing Lubrication
WARNING
Hazardous Voltage!
Disconnect all electric power, including remote disconnects before servicing. Follow proper
lockout/tagout procedure to ensure the power cannot be inadvertently energized. Failure to
disconnect power before servicing could result in death or serious injury.
Obtain an IOM from the motor manufacturer for the specific motor installed. The motor
manufacturer’s recommendations take precedence for all matters related to the start-up and
routine maintenance of the motor.
Motor grease fittings have been removed from factory-installed motors in compliance with UL
regulations. Motor bearings require periodic maintenance throughout their life. Many different
styles of motors come as standard selections, so please obtain the motor IOM and use the
manufacturer-recommended grease.
Fan Motor Inspection
Inspect fan motors periodically for excessive vibration or temperature.
Coils
WARNING
Hazardous Chemicals!
Coil cleaning agents can be either acidic or highly alkaline. Handle chemical carefully. Proper
handling should include goggles or face shield, chemical resistant gloves, boots, apron or suit as
required. For personal safety refer to the cleaning agent manufacturer’s Materials Safety Data
Sheet and follow all recommended safe handling practices. Failure to follow all safety
instructions could result in death or serious injury.
All coils should be kept clean to maintain maximum performance.
Steam and Water Coils
To clean steam and water coils:
1.
Disconnect all electrical power to the unit.
2. Wearing the appropriate personal protective equipment, use a soft brush to remove loose
debris from both sides of the coil.
3. Install a block-off to prevent spray from going through the coil and into a dry section of the unit
and/or system ductwork.
4. Mix a high-quality coil cleaning detergent with water according to the manufacturer’s
instructions.
Note:
If the detergent is strongly alkaline after mixing (PH 8.5 or higher), it must contain an
inhibitor. Follow the cleaning solution manufacturer’s instructions regarding the use of the
product.
5. Place the mixed solution in a garden pump-up sprayer or high-pressure sprayer. If a high
pressure sprayer is to be used:
a. Maintain minimum nozzle spray angle of 15 degrees.
b. Spray perpendicular to the coil face.
c. Keep the nozzle at least 6 inches from the coil.
d. Do not exceed 600 psi.
