Compressor Removal
The compressor sits on the bottom plate of the base
assembly. Two "U" shaped compressor brackets are
passed up through the base plate, compressor grom-
mets and washers. Cotter-pin clips are attached to the

to hold the compressor in place.
To access the compressor, remove the control panel, Clip
inner access panel, upper and lower face plates, back
panel and unit shell.
NOTE:: Separating the top of the base assembly from
the bottom by extracting the screws from the base
assembly legs will allow easier access to the compres-
sor.
Before removing the compressor, capture the refriger-
ant from the sealed system. Then, disconnect the elec-
trical leads from the compressor. With a a tube cutter,

Condenser Removal
The condenser is attached to the base assembly with
screws that pass up through the base into the the bot-

the sides of the control box. The condenser fan shroud
Gasket
is attached to the back of the condenser with screws
passing through the shroud into the rear side flanges of
the condenser. A styrofoam gasket is sandwiched
between the fan shroud and the condenser to prevent
air leaks around the shroud. The inlet port of the con-
denser is attached to the compressor discharge line.
The condenser outlet leads to the high-side filter-drier.
To access the condenser, remove the control panel,
inner access panel, upper and lower face plates, back
panel and unit shell.
