WARNING: Electrical Hazard
Before performing any work on this item, disconnect and lock out electrical
power sources to prevent injury from unexpected energization or startup. Be
sure that power to the chiller is OFF when doing any maintenance on the
chiller. Follow all safety rules when performing any maintenance on this
equipment.
CAUTION: Hot Surfaces
Always protect yourself from hot surfaces when working on the Portable
chiller, especially when working on or around the compressor and condens-
er. These devices can reach up to 160
before performing any maintenance or troubleshooting.
The air-cooled condenser can accumulate dirt and clog quickly if it is run in a dusty or
dirty environment. A clogged condenser increases refrigerant discharge pressure, low-
ers performance, and may cause the fan motors and compressor to overheat.
1
Inspect the coils. Use a flashlight to check between coil surfaces.
2
Clean the dirty coils with a soft brush.
3
Flush with cool water or a commercial coil cleaner that is compatible with
aluminum alloys. It is recommended that the coil cleaner is sprayed from inside
the cabinet.
4
Inspect and clean the air filter using water or air. Replace as needed.
CAUTION: Wear eye protection.
If you use compressed air to clean the equipment, you must wear eye pro-
tection and observe all OSHA and other safety regulations pertaining to the
use of compressed air.
