To access these filters, remove bottom bolt in the access door on the side of the weatherhood (one access door on each side of weatherhood). Slide the access door up and then pull bottom out to remove door. Then, slide the filters out (see FIGURE 23).
Clean filters by rinsing with a mild detergent in warm water. After the filters are dry, an adhesive spray, available at most filter distributors, may be applied to increase filter efficiency.

Outdoor Air Filters: Access to the outdoor air filters is through the doors labeled as “Filter Access” (both sides of unit). The filters are stacked two high and four deep. They can be removed by pulling on the strap mechanism (see FIGURE 24). Be sure to replace strap mechanism to assist with filter replacement for next maintenance interval.
Exhaust Air Filters: Access to the exhaust filters is through the door labeled “Coil Access”. You must enter the unit to get at the exhaust filter access door. This door is located in the divider between the airstreams (see FIGURE 25). Open the door and pull the exhaust filters up and out of the “V” bank rack.
