CARE OF FAN MOTORS

CARE OF FAN MOTORS

Some fan motors are provided with lubrication ports. Inspect your indoor and outdoor units to determine whether or not lubrication ports are provided.

The fan motor is shipped with an oil supply which will last for several years under normal operating conditions. After this time, each motor bearing should be oiled with 10-15 drops (approximately 1/4 teaspoon) of SAE 20 non-detergent electric motor oil or automobile oil. DO NOT use definite purpose oils such as sewing machine, cleaning, rust preventative, cutting, household, etc.

FILTER CARE

Inspect the air filter(s) at least once a month. If they are dirty, wash reusable filters with a mild detergent per manu- facturer's recommendations. Replace disposable filters with new filters.

Install the clean filters with air flow" arrow in the same direction as the air flow in your duct. Filters should be clean to assure maximum efficiency and adequate air circulation. Drapes, furniture or other obstructions blocking your supply and return air grilles will also decrease efficiency.

OUTDOOR UNIT FINISH

If you wish to maintain the finish of the outdoor unit, it can be polished with car wax. It is recommended the unit be cleaned with soap and water prior to waxing.

The flashing light on the system thermostat is capable of providing you with time and money saving information. The fault code numbers listed can be han- dled by taking the corrective action indicated. Call qualified service person if displaying fault code numbers not listed.

PARTS INFORMATION

EXTENDED PROTECTION PLANS

Special warranty packages are avail- able through your contractor/dealer. These packages reduce the potential cost of service calls following the first year of operation on your cooling or heating/cooling system.
