To install filters:
1Disconnect power to the unit.
2Open or remove the filter clip.
3Remove the filter from the rack.
4Install new filters with the directional arrows pointing in the direction of airflow.
5Secure the filter using the appropriate clip for each filter.
Review Figure 21 through Figure 24 for an explanation of the methods for securing the different types of filters.
The filters are often installed in a pre/post filter configuration. Be sure to note the order of installation.
Note: Filters must have an airtight seal to prevent air bypass.
WARNING Hazardous Voltage with Capacitors!
Disconnect all electric power, including remote disconnects and discharge all motor start/run capacitors before servicing. Follow proper lockout/tagout procedures to ensure the power cannot be inadvertently energized. For variable frequency drives or other energy storing components provided by Trane or others, refer to the appropriate manufacturer’s literature for allowable waiting periods for discharge of capacitors. Verify with an appropriate voltmeter that all capacitors have discharged. Failure to disconnect power and discharge capacitors before servicing could result in death or serious injury.
