VI-MAINTENANCE

WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK, FIRE,
OR EXPLOSION HAZARD.
Failure to follow safety warnings exactly could result
in dangerous operation, serious injury, death or
property damage.
Improper servicing could result in dangerous opera­
tion, serious injury, death, or property damage.
Before servicing, disconnect all electrical power to
the furnace.
At the beginning of each heating season, system should be
checked as follows by a qualified service technician:
Blower
Check the blower wheel for debris and clean if necessary.
The blower motors are prelubricated for extended bearing
life. No further lubrication is needed.
WARNING
The blower access panel must be securely in place
when the blower and burners are operating. Gas
fumes, which could contain carbon monoxide, can
be drawn into living space resulting in personal inju­
ry or death.
Filters
All air filters are installed external to the unit. Filters should
be inspected monthly. Clean or replace the filters when
necessary to ensure proper furnace operation. Table 21
lists recommended filter sizes.
IMPORTANT
If a high­efficiency filter is being installed as part of
this system to ensure better indoor air quality, the fil­
ter must be properly sized. High­efficiency filters
have a higher static pressure drop than standard­ef­
ficiency glass/foam filters. If the pressure drop is too
great, system capacity and performance may be re­
duced. The pressure drop may also cause the limit to
trip more frequently during the winter and the indoor
coil to freeze in the summer, resulting in an increase
in the number of service calls.
Before using any filter with this system, check the
specifications provided by the filter manufacturer
against the data given in the appropriate Lennox
Product Specifications bulletin. Additional informa­
tion is provided in Service and Application Note
ACC­00­2 (August 2000).

Exhaust and air intake pipes
Check the exhaust and air intake pipes and all connections
for tightness and to make sure there is no blockage.
NOTE - After any heavy snow, ice or frozen fog event the
furnace vent pipes may become restricted. Always check
the vent system and remove any snow or ice that may be
obstructing the plastic intake or exhaust pipes.

WARNING
Fire Hazard. Use of aluminum wire with this
product may result in a fire, causing property dam­
age, severe injury or death. Use copper wire only
with this product.
CAUTION
Failure to use properly sized wiring and circuit
breaker may result in property damage. Size wiring
and circuit breaker(s) per Product Specifications
bulletin (EHB) and unit rating plate.
1 - Check all wiring for loose connections.
2 - Check for the correct voltage at the furnace (furnace
operating). Correct voltage is 120VAC + 10%
3 - Check amp-draw using a true RMS meter on the blow­
er motor with blower access panel in place.

Winterizing and Condensate Trap Care
1 - Turn off power to the furnace.
2 - Have a shallow pan ready to empty condensate water.
3 - Remove the clean out cap from the condensate trap
and empty water. Inspect the trap then reinstall the
clean out cap.
