STEP 1
Maintenance and Care for the Equipment Owner
Before performing equipment maintenance
carefully consider the following:
WARNING
!
FIRE, EXPLOSION, ELECTRICAL SHOCK AND
CUT HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal
injury, death or property damage.
1. Turn off gas supply first, then all electrical power to your
unit and install lock- -out tag before servicing or per-
forming maintenance.
2. When removing access
maintenance functions inside your unit, be aware of
sharp sheet metal parts and screws. Although special care
is taken to reduce sharp edges to a minimum, be
extremely careful when handling parts or reaching into
the unit. Wear safety glasses, gloves, and appropriate
protective clothing.
Air Filters
The air filter(s) should be checked
changed or cleaned whenever it becomes dirty. Dirty filters
produce excessive stress on the blower motor and can cause the
motor to overheat and shut down.
This unit must have air filters in place before it can be operated.
These filters can be located in one of at least two places. In many
applications, the installer will provide return air filter grilles
mounted on the wall or ceiling of the conditioned structure. In the
instance of filter grilles, the filters can simply be removed from the
grille and replaced.
The other typical application is an accessory filter rack installed
inside the unit itself. The following information is given to assist in
changing filters used in these internal filter racks.
Filter kits are available as a purchased accessory or a factory
installed option. The same filter kit is included with the accessory
economizers and factory installed economizers.
