MAINTENANCE CHECKLIST
Outdoor unit specific:
Clear away debris and vegetation near unit.
Inspect cabinet for damage. Replace
components that are damaged or severely
rusted.
Inspect electrical disconnect for proper
function. Repair or replace as necessary.
Inspect electrical wiring and connections.
Tighten loose connections. Inspect and
perform functional test of equipment as
needed to ensure proper function. Repair or
replace damaged or overheated components
and wiring.
Check refrigerant system subcooling and
superheat.
Inspect inside of unit. Clean if debris is
present.
Inspect condenser coil. Clean if dust, dirt, or
debris is present. Rinse unit with fresh
water.
c
Inspect motor and fan for damage. Make
sure fans spin freely.
NOTE(S):
a
The above list may not include all maintenance items. Inspection intervals may
vary depending on climate and opening hours. Consult your dealer about a ser-
vice contact for seasonal inspections.
b
Monthly maintenance items and outdoor unit rinsing may be performed by the
customer. All other maintenance items and all service work must be performed
by a qualified service technician. Read all warning labels.
c
Do not use harsh chemicals or high pressure water on coils. More frequent rins-
ing is required near a sea coast.
d
Monthly rinsing of the condenser coil is recommended if the unit is located in a
corrosive climate.

gram, to be checked every month or two, until a specific
schedule for each can be identified for this installation:

Quarterly Inspection

(and 30 days after initial start)

INDOOR SECTION

Coil cleanliness checked.
Return air filter replacement
Belt tension checked
Belt condition checked
Pulley alignment checked
Fan shaft bearing locking collar tightness checked
Condensate drain checked
Blower motor amperage

OUTDOOR SECTION

Fan motor mounting bolts tightness
Compressor mounting bolts
Fan blade positioning
Control box cleanliness and wiring condition
Wire terminal tightness

SERVICE

Refrigeration System

CAUTION
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in damage to
equipment.
This system uses R-410A refrigerant which has higher
pressures than R-22 and other refrigerants. No other
refrigerant may be used in this system. Gauge set,
hoses, and recovery system must be designed to handle
R-410A refrigerant. If you are unsure consult the
equipment manufacturer.

COMPRESSOR OIL

CAUTION
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in damage to
equipment.
The compressor in an R-410A system uses a
polyolester (POE) oil. This oil is extremely hygroscopic,
meaning it absorbs water readily. POE oils can absorb
15 times as much water as other oils designed for HCFC
and CFC refrigerants. Take all necessary precautions to
avoid exposure of the oil to the atmosphere.
