3.1 PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
Cleaning--Clean evaporator coil and condenser coil.
Hold flashlight behind coil to see if all spaces are clear.
Dust accumulation obstructs or reduces airflow and
results in loss of cooling capacity. Both coils may be
vacuumed when dry. Coils may also be brushed with a
stiff brush and then blown out with compressed air.
Thoroughly clean base pan, motors, fan wheels, and
other components.
Clean cover and ceiling grill. Mild detergents reduce
electrostatic charges on plastic sections of the grill and
are good cleaners.
CAUTION
Do not use carbon tetrachloride, solvents,
or waxes containing solvents to clean plas-
tic sections.
Painting--Paint any parts that show evidence of rust
with a good rust--prevention paint.
Wiring- - Check all wiring for deterioration and all
electrical contacts for tightness or corrosion.
Mounting--Make sure unit is secure on roof according
to installation instructions provided in Owner's Guide.
Check fans to insure that they are correctly positioned in
the center of the orifice, and tight on the shaft.
Leaks--Check any connections that show evidence of
oil or leaks. When unit is properly installed (refer to
Owner's Guide) check gaskets for possible air leakage.
Controls--Check unit to ensure all controls are
functioning correctly and unit operation is normal.
Vibrations can cause unwanted noise.
NOTE
Check to ensure that piping is not vibrating
against side of the unit.
NOTE
For proper cleaning and flushing, use a UL
approved refrigerant recovery/recycling
system.
NOTE
Refrigerant removal must always include
recovering the refrigerant, not allowing it to
escape to the atmosphere.
