A.Evaporator Coil

1.Turn unit power off. Remove evaporator coil access panel.

2.If economizer is installed, remove economizer by dis- connecting economizer plug and removing mounting screws. See Fig. 18 and 19. Refer to Accessory Econo- mizer Installation Instructions or Optional Economizer sections on pages 13 and 14 for further details.

3.Slide ®lters out of unit.

4.Clean coil using a commercial coil cleaner or dish- washer detergent in a pressurized spray canister. Wash both sides of coil and ¯ush with clean water. For best results, back¯ush toward return-air section to remove foreign material.

5.Flush condensate pan.

6.Reinstall economizer and ®lters.

7.Reconnect wiring.

8.Replace access panels.

B.Condenser Coil

Inspect coil monthly. Clean condenser coil annually, and as required by location and outdoor-air conditions.

One-Row Coil (size 036)

Wash coil with commercial coil cleaner. It is not necessary to remove top panel.

2-Row Coils (sizes 048-072)

NOTE: Save all screws removed in this section. The screws must be used when reinstalling the equipment.

1.Turn off unit power.

3.Remove condenser coil corner post. See Fig. 35. To hold top panel open, place coil corner post between top panel and center post. See Fig. 36.

4.Remove screws securing coil to center post.

5.Remove fastener holding coil sections together at re- turn end of condenser coil. Carefully separate the outer coil section 3 to 4 in. from the inner coil section. See Fig. 37.

6.Use a water hose or other suitable equipment to ¯ush down between the 2 coil sections to remove dirt and de- bris. Clean the outer surfaces with a stiff brush in the normal manner.

7.Secure inner and outer coil rows together with a ®eld- supplied fastener.

8.Reposition the outer coil section and remove the coil cor- ner post from between the top panel and center post.

9.Reinstall the coil corner post and replace all screws.
