3.Check electrical connections for tightness and controls for proper operation each heating (heat pump only) or cooling season and service as necessary.

CAUTION: Because of possible damage to the equip- ment or personal injury, maintenance should be per- formed by qualified personnel only.

COIL CLEANING

1. Remove top cover. See Remove Top Cover section.

CAUTION: Coil fin damage can result in higher oper- ating costs or compressor damage. Do not use flame, high-pressure water, steam, or volatile or corrosive clean- ers on fins or tubing.

2.Clean coil using vacuum cleaner and its crevice tool. Move crevice tool vertically, close to area being cleaned, making sure tool touches only the dirt on the fins and not the fins. To prevent fin damage, do not scrub fins with tool or move tool horizontally against fins.

3.If oil deposits are present, spray coil with ordinary house- hold detergent. Wait 10 minutes, and proceed to next step.

4.Using garden hose, spray coil vertically downward with constant stream of water at moderate pressure. Keep nozzle at a 15° to 20° angle, about 3 in. from coil face and 18 in. from tube. Spray so debris is washed out of coil and basepan.

5.Restore power to unit.

CLEANING OUTDOOR FAN MOTOR AND BLADE

1.Remove fan motor and blade. Refer to Remove Fan-Motor Assembly section of this manual. Be careful not to bend or dent fan blade.

2.Clean motor and blade with soft brush or cloth. Be careful not to disturb balance weights on fan blade.

3.Check fan-blade setscrew for tightness.

4.Reinstall fan motor and blade to top cover and check for alignment.

5.Reinstall top cover and position blade as per Fig. 24.

6.Reconnect electrical power and check for proper operation.

ELECTRICAL CONTROLS AND WIRING

1.Disconnect power to both the outdoor and indoor units.

2.Check all electrical connections for tightness. Tighten all screws on electrical connections. If any connections appear to be burned or smoky, disassemble the connection, clean all parts and stripped wires, and reassemble. Use a new connector if old one is burned or corroded and crimp tightly.

3.Reconnect electrical power to the indoor and outdoor units and observe unit through 1 complete operating cycle.

4.If there are any discrepancies in the operating cycle, troubleshoot to find the cause, and correct.

REFRIGERANT CIRCUIT

1.Check the refrigerant charge using the superheat or sub- cooling method, whichever is applicable. If low on charge, check unit for leaks using an electronic leak detector.

2.If any leaks are found, recover or isolate charge (pump- down) if applicable and make necessary repairs.

3.Evacuate, recharge, and operate unit through entire cycle.

FINAL CHECKOUT

After the unit has been operating, the following items should be checked:

1.Check that unit operational noise is not excessive due to vibration of components, tubing, panels, etc. If present, isolate problem and correct.

2.Check to be sure caps are installed on service valves and that they are tight.
