Reinstalling Motor and Fan Assembly
See Fig. 12.
1. Align motor harness/grommet at ~7 o'clock (facing installer)
and align the bottom flats on right and left sides of fan stator
with fan deck ribs. Drop fan assembly down into fan deck
opening and slide back until aluminum stator is under the
rear fan deck brackets.
2. Align (if necessary) two front holes and fasten stator to fan
deck with 2 #10
(P/N: AL48AM217). Tighten to 50 in.-lb (5.65 Nm).
3. Reconnect wires for stator temperature limit switch.
4. Pull motor harness tight through grommet and plug it in to the
control box harness and secure in the corner with snap-in
wire tie.

WARNING
UNIT OPERATION AND SAFETY HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could cause personal injury,
death and/or equipment damage.
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 unsure about equipment, consult the equipment
manufacturer.

Condenser Coil

The condenser coil is fabricated with round tube copper hairpins
and plate fins of various materials and/or coatings (see Model
Number Nomenclature in Appendix A to identify the materials
provided in this unit). The coil may be one-row or composite-type
two-row. Composite two-row coils are two single-row coils fabri-
cated with a single return bend end tubesheet.

Condenser Coil Maintenance and Cleaning

Recommendation

Routine cleaning of coil surfaces is essential to maintain proper
operation of the unit. Elimination of contamination and removal of
harmful residues will greatly increase the life of the coil and ex-
tend the life of the unit. The following maintenance and cleaning
procedures are recommended as part of the routine maintenance
activities to extend the life of the coil.
REMOVE SURFACE LOADED FIBERS
Surface loaded fibers or dirt should be removed with a vacuum
cleaner. If a vacuum cleaner is not available, a soft non-metallic
bristle brush may be used. In either case, the tool should be ap-
plied in the direction of the fins. Coil surfaces can be easily dam-
aged (fin edges can be easily bent over and damage to the coating
of a protected coil) if the tool is applied across the fins.
NOTE: Use of a water stream, such as a garden hose, against a
surface loaded coil will drive the fibers and dirt into the coil.
This will make cleaning efforts more difficult. Surface loaded
fibers must be completely removed prior to using low velocity
clean water rinse.
PERIODIC CLEAN WATER RINSE
A periodic clean water rinse is very beneficial for coils that are
applied in coastal or industrial environments. However, it is very
important that the water rinse is made with a very low velocity
water stream to avoid damaging the fin edges. Monthly cleaning
as described below is recommended. Rinsing coils in the oppo-
site direction of airflow is recommended.
ROUTINE CLEANING OF COIL SURFACES
Periodic cleaning with Totaline
cleaner is essential to extend the life of coils. This cleaner is avail-
able from Replacement Components Division as part number
P902-0301 for a one gallon container, and part number P902-0305
for a 5 gallon container. It is recommended that all coils, including
standard aluminum, pre-coated, copper/copper or e-coated coils
be cleaned with the Totaline environmentally balanced coil clean-
er as described below. Coil cleaning should be part of the unit's
regularly scheduled maintenance procedures to ensure long life of
the coil. Failure to clean the coils may result in reduced durability
in the environment.
Avoid use of:
• coil brighteners
• acid cleaning prior to painting
• high pressure washers
• poor quality water for cleaning
Totaline environmentally balanced coil cleaner is nonflammable,
hypo-allergenic, non-bacterial, and a USDA accepted biodegrad-
able agent that will not harm the coil or surrounding components
such as electrical wiring, painted metal surfaces, or insulation. Use
of non-recommended coil cleaners is strongly discouraged since
coil and unit durability could be affected.
