HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury, death or
property damage.

and install lock-out tag before servicing or performing
maintenance.
2. When removing access panels or performing maintenance
functions inside your unit, be aware of sharp sheet metal parts

Air Filters

The air filter(s) should be checked every 3 or 4 weeks and 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. The same filter kit is
included with the accessory economizers and factory installed
economizers.

2. Remove the filter(s) by pulling it out of the unit. If the filter(s) is
dirty, clean or replace with a new one.
