Maintenance

WARNING
Electric shock hazard. Can cause injury
or death. Before attempting to perform
any service or maintenance, turn the
electrical power to unit OFF at disconnect
switch(es). Unit may have multiple power
supplies.
WARNING
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or
maintenance can cause personal injury, loss of life, or
damage to property.
Installation and service must be performed by a licensed
professional installer (or equivalent) or a service agency.
Maintenance and service must be performed by a qualified
installer or service agency. At the beginning of each
cooling season, the system should be checked as follows:
Outdoor Unit
1. Outdoor unit fan motor is pre-lubricated and sealed.
No further lubrication is needed.
2. Visually inspect all connecting lines, joints and coils for
evidence of oil leaks.
3. Check all wiring for loose connections.
4. Check for correct voltage at unit (unit operating).
5. Check amp draw on outdoor fan motor.
Motor Nameplate:_________ Actual:__________.
6. Inspect drain holes in coil compartment base and
clean if necessary.
NOTE ‐ If insufficient cooling occurs, the unit should be
gauged and refrigerant charge should be checked.
Clean and inspect outdoor coil (may be flushed with a
water hose). Ensure power is off before cleaning.
NOTE — It may be necessary to flush the outdoor coil
more frequently if it is exposed to substances which are
corrosive or which block airflow across the coil (e.g., pet
urine, cottonwood seeds, fertilizers, fluids that may
contain high levels of corrosive chemicals such as salts)
Sea Coast — Moist air in ocean locations can carry salt,
which is corrosive to most metal. Units that are located
near the ocean require frequent inspections and
maintenance. These inspections will determine the
necessary need to wash the unit including the outdoor coil.
Consult your
intervals/procedures for your geographic area or service
contract.
1. Clean or change filters.
2. Lennox blower
permanently sealed. No more lubrication is needed.
3. Adjust blower speed for cooling. Measure the pressure
drop over the coil to determine the correct blower CFM.
Refer to the unit information service manual for pressure
drop tables and procedure.
4. Belt Drive Blowers - Check belt for wear and proper
tension.
5. Check all wiring for loose connections.
6. Check for correct voltage at unit. (blower operating)
7. Check amp draw on blower motor.
