6.0 SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE

WARNING!
Aira AL units require electrical and plumbing trades to service all aspects of the unit. Servicing should
be carried out by a qualified Seeley International Service Technician, appointed Aira service agent or appropriately
qualified trades persons. If unsure about any servicing or maintenance aspect of the unit, immediately stop work and
contact Seeley International for assistance.
Aira units are often manufactured to exact customer specifications. When ordering spare parts, the unit serial number
must be used to ensure the correct components are supplied.
When working on the heat exchanger section care must be taken to ensure all parts have sufficiently cooled before
commencing any service or maintenance activities.
Appropriate PPE should always be worn which includes but is not limited to safety glasses, hearing protection
and gloves. Additional site requirements may require additional PPE, especially when working on roof tops or in
commercial/industrial facilities.
Any maintenance required by Australian Standards shall be carried out at required intervals.
Table 5: Inspection and Service of Major Components is the minimum recommended inspection and service schedule.
A detailed service schedule and Maintenance checklist can be found in Appendix C. Appendix C also contains a
