10. MAINTENANCE GUIDE

Proper unit maintenance will result in optimal unit perfor-
mance and prevent potentially costly repairs or property
damage. Turn unit disconnect switch to off and turn unit
off at circuit breaker/fuse panel before starting mainte-
nance procedure.
Do not operate unit without filters or during
any temporary construction that could clog the
air filter or air coil.
Do not use any cleaning solutions that contain
acids on the air-refrigerant coil or any refriger-
ant components.
30 DAY MAINTENANCE
1. Visually inspect filter monthly for dirt and clogging.
Replace as required with a quality filter.
2. Vacuum dust from unit air grilles and surrounding
coil area with soft bristle brush attachment as re-
quired.
3. Every month visually inspect unit for any signs of
water leaks, or water damage around floor or sur-
rounding drywall.
3 MONTH MAINTENANCE
1. Inspect condensate drain every 3 months for signs
of stagnant water, microbial growth, and mineral
buildup. Clean drain pan with an appropriate clean-
ing solution as required to prevent condensate hose
blockages and microbial growth.
2. Check valves and hoses for signs of leaks, cracking
or deterioration.
6 MONTH MAINTENANCE
1. Check condensate flow to ensure adequate drain-
age and test for signs of impending blockages.
2. Check that condensate alarm is operating correctly
if installed.
3. Visually inspect the air coil for signs of dirt accumu-
lation. Use a mild approved coil-cleaning agent. DO
NOT use any cleaning solutions that contain an
acid, including acetic acid (vinegar). Damage to the
air coil may occur resulting in possible refrigerant
leaks.
ANNUAL MAINTENANCE
1. Perform an annual maintenance inspection of the
fan and blower motor assembly. All units come with
permanently lubricated fan motors. DO NOT oil or
lubricate fan motors. Clean up any dirt or debris that
may have accumulated.
2. Visually inspect the electrical box annually for signs
of component damage due to overheating or poor
electrical contact.
3. Completely clean the interior of the cabinet. Vacu-
um any dust or debris.
5-7 YEAR MAINTENANCE
1. Replace compressor capacitor.
2. Replace compressor power relay.
REPLACEMENT FILTERS & CRITICAL CHARGE
Disposable 1-inch thick replacement filters, sizes listed
below and can be obtained from most HVAC parts sup-
pliers.
Factory also provides optional 2-inch filter rack for use
with 2-inch MERV 13 filters.
Factory provided 1-inch filters are MERV 8/10. Pleated
filters rated between MERV 8 to MERV 11 are prefera-
ble as they will provide balance between filtration and
airflow. Higher rated filters (MERV 12, 13+) may reduce
airflow and require frequent replacement. Factory rec-
ommends optional 2-inch filter rack when using MERV
13 filters.

Units are critically charged with refrigerant and ap-
plying pressure gauges to unit may cause unit to
lose some charge. Follow best practices and ex-
haust reasonable troubleshooting steps before ap-
plying gauges to unit.
