unit.

personnel. Your dealer can help you establish a standard procedure.

be obstructed from reaching the unit. Clearance from the top of the unit
is 48 in. (1219 mm). Clearance of at least 36 in.(914 mm) is required on

yourself, please carefully consider the following:
WARNING
!
FIRE, EXPLOSION, ELECTRICAL SHOCK AND
CUT HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury, death or
property damage.
1. TURN OFF ELECTRICAL POWER TO YOUR UNIT BEFORE
SERVICING OR PERFORMING MAINTENANCE.
2. When removing access panels or performing maintenance
functions inside your unit, be aware of sharp sheet metal parts and
screws. Although special care is taken to reduce sharp edges to a
minimum, be extremely careful when handling parts or reaching
into the unit. Wear safety glasses, glove, and appropriate
protective clothing.
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 or a factory installed
option. The same filter kit is included with the accessory economizers
and factory installed economizers. See
with accessory filter rack.
Manufacturer reserves the right to change, at any time, specifications and designs without notice and without obligations.
