Figure 34. Cleaning debris from mesh
Maintenance and service must be performed by a qualified
installer or service agency. At the beginning of each
cooling season, the system should be checked as follows:
1, Make sure power is off before cleaning. Clean and
inspect outdoor coil, The coil may be flushed with a
water hose,
2, The outdoor coil is protected by an inner mesh screen
and a wire cage (see figure 34), If debris has collected
between the mesh screen and the coil and cannot be
dislodged by spraying unpressurized water from
inside coil surface to the outside, the mesh may be
removed by first removing the top of the unit which will
allow for removal of the wire cage,
3, Then, using pliers to grip the head of the push pins, pull
straight out to extract the push pins along one side of
the coil. If necessary, remove the push pins along the
back of the unit; it is usually unnecessary to fully
remove the inner mesh screen,
4. Drape the mesh screen back and wash the coil. When
all the debris has been removed from the coil, reinstall
the mesh screen by positioning it in its original position
