SERVICE

When servicing unit, shut off all electrical power to unit to avoid shock hazard or injury from rotating parts.

Cleaning — Inspect unit interior at the beginning of heat- ing and cooling season and as operating conditions require.

EVAPORATOR COIL

1.Turn unit power off, tag disconnect. Remove evaporator coil access panel.

2.If economizer or two-position damper is installed, re- move economizer by disconnecting Molex plug and re- moving mounting screws. Refer to accessory economizer installation instructions or Optional Economizer sections on pages 12 and 15 for additional information.

3.Slide filters out of unit.

4.Clean coil using a commercial coil cleaner or dishwasher detergent in a pressurized spray canister. Wash both sides of coil and flush with clean water. For best results, back-flush toward return-air section to remove foreign material. Flush condensate pan after completion.

5.Reinstall economizer and filters.

6.Reconnect wiring.

7.Replace access panels.

CONDENSER COIL — Inspect coil monthly. Clean con- denser coil annually, and as required by location and outdoor air conditions.

One-Row Coil — Wash coil with commercial coil cleaner. It is not necessary to remove top panel.

2-Row Coils

Clean coil as follows:

1.Turn off unit power, tag disconnecct.

2.Remove top panel screws on condenser end of unit.

4.Remove screws securing coil to compressor plate and compressor access panel.

5.Remove fastener holding coil sections together at return end of condenser coil. Carefully separate the outer coil section 3 to 4 in. from the inner coil section. See Fig. 42.

CONDENSATE DRAIN — Check and clean each year at start of cooling season. In winter, keep drain dry or protect against freeze-up.

FILTERS — Clean or replace at start of each heating and cool- ing season, or more often if operating conditions require it. Re- placement filters must be same dimensions as original filters.

OUTDOOR-AIR INLET SCREENS — Clean screen with steam or hot water and a mild detergent. Do not use disposable filters in place of screen.

Lubrication

COMPRESSORS — Each compressor is charged with correct amount of oil at the factory.

FAN MOTOR BEARINGS — Fan motor bearings are of the permanently lubricated type. No further lubrication is required. No lubrication of condenser- or evaporator-fan motors is required.
