SECTION 3 - MAINTENANCE

WARNING - Failure to heed the following may result in injury or death.
CAUTION - Failure to heed the following may result in equipment damage.

3.1 Cleaning Equipment

Clean and polish heat pump frequently to prevent damage to equipment. More frequent service is
required for heat pumps located in sandy or coastal areas; where sand and salt spray can become
detrimental factors to equipment.
Washing
1) Remove upper access panel. (the panel that does not contain the control pad)
2) Being careful not to bend the evaporator's fins, wash both sides of the evaporator coil and
outside cabinet using a low pressure water hose. Brush any debris inside the cabinet
towards the open access panel and remove from heat pump.
3) While the heat pump is still wet, use an approved cleaning agent and pump spray bottle to
coat the exterior of the heat pump.
4) Avoiding the evaporator fins, use a detergent-dampened cloth to wipe the heat pump's
exterior cabinet.
5) Flush all exterior surfaces and both sides of evaporator coil with fresh water using a low
pressure water hose.
6) Again avoiding the evaporator fins, dry exterior cabinet using a soft cloth. Allow evaporator
coil to air dry.
7) Confirm equipment pad is dry, and being sure not to over tighten screws, re-install access
panel.
Polishing
1) Do not touch, or otherwise attempt to polish the evaporator. Polish the heat pump's cabinet
panels using an approved polishing agent and following the manufacturer's instructions.
2) Rinse the heat pump panels with fresh water and wipe and buff panels using a dry soft cloth.
3) Allow heat pump interior and surrounding equipment to "air-dry" for several hours prior to
restoring electrical power.
APPROVED CLEANING AGENTS
APPROVED POLISHING AGENTS
Possible electric shock hazard - Disconnect power to all electrical devices on pad
when washing heat pump. Do not restore electrical power until equipment is
completely dry.
Do not use a pressure cleaner to wash heat pump. Damage to heat pump
components, such as the heat pump's evaporator fins, will result. If using a hose-
end spray nozzle adjust spray pattern to low strength only.
