The minimum maintenance requirements for this equipment are as
follows:
1. Inspect air filter(s) each month. Clean or replace when
necessary.
2. Inspect indoor coil, drain pan, and condensate drain each
cooling season for cleanliness. Clean when necessary.
3. Inspect blower motor and wheel for cleanliness each cooling
season. Clean when necessary.
4. Check electrical connections for tightness and controls for
proper operation each cooling season. Service when
necessary.
Step 1—Air Filter
IMPORTANT: Never operate the unit without a suitable air filter
in the return- -air duct system. Always replace the filter with the same
dimensional size and type as originally installed. See Table 1 for
recommended filter sizes.
Inspect air filter(s) at least once each month and replace
(throwaway- -type) or clean (cleanable- -type) at least twice during
each cooling season and twice during the heating season, or
whenever the filter becomes clogged with dust and lint.
Step 2—Indoor Blower and Motor
NOTE: All motors are pre- -lubricated. Do not attempt to lubricate
these motors.
For longer life, operating economy, and continuing efficiency, clean
accumulated dirt and grease from the blower wheel and motor
annually.
WARNING
!
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury
or death.
Disconnect and tag electrical power to the unit before cleaning
and lubricating the blower motor and wheel.
Step 3—Outdoor Coil, Indoor Coil, and Condensate
Drain Pan
Inspect the condenser coil, evaporator coil, and condensate drain
pan at least once each year.
The coils are easily cleaned when dry; therefore, inspect and clean
the coils either before or after each cooling season. Remove all
obstructions, including weeds and shrubs, that interfere with the
airflow through the condenser coil. Straighten bent fins with a fin
comb. If coated with dirt or lint, clean the coils with a vacuum
cleaner, using the soft brush attachment. Be careful not to bend the
fins. If coated with oil or grease, clean the coils with a mild detergent
and water solution. Rinse coils with clear water, using a garden hose.
Be careful not to splash water on motors, insulation, wiring, or air
filter(s). For best results, spray condenser coil fins from inside to
outside the unit. On units with an outer and inner condenser coil, be
sure to clean between the coils. Be sure to flush all dirt and debris
from the unit base.
Inspect the drain pan and condensate drain line when inspecting the
coils. Clean the drain pan and condensate drain by removing all
foreign matter from the pan. Flush the pan and drain trough with
clear water. Do not splash water on the insulation, motor, wiring, or
air filter(s). If the drain trough is restricted, clear it with a "plumbers
snake" or similar probe device.
Step 4—Outdoor Fan
CAUTION
!
UNIT OPERATION HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in damage to unit
components.
Keep the condenser fan free from all obstructions to ensure
proper cooling operation. Never place articles on top of the
unit.
1. Remove 6 screws holding outdoor grille and motor to top
cover.
2. Turn motor/grille assembly upside down on top cover to
expose fan blade.
3. Inspect the fan blades for cracks or bends.
4. If fan needs to be removed, loosen setscrew and slide fan off
motor shaft.
5. When replacing fan blade, position blade so that the hub is
1/8 in. away from the motor end (1/8 in. of motor shaft will
be visible) (See Fig. 24).
6. Ensure that set screw engages the flat area on the motor shaft
when tightening.
7. Replace grille.

Step 5—Electrical Controls and Wiring
Inspect and check the electrical controls and wiring annually. Be
sure to turn off the electrical power to the unit.
Remove access panel to locate all the electrical controls and wiring.
Check all electrical connections for tightness. Tighten all screw
connections. If any smoky or burned connections are noticed,
disassemble the connection, clean all the parts, re- -strip the wire end
and reassemble the connection properly and securely.
After inspecting the electrical controls and wiring, replace all the
panels. Start the unit, and observe at least one complete cooling
cycle to ensure proper operation. If discrepancies are observed in
operating cycle, or if a suspected malfunction has occurred, check
each
electrical
component
instrumentation. Refer to the unit wiring label when making these
checks.
