Preventive Maintenance
Maintenance on the unit is simplified
with the following preventive sugges-
tions:
Filter maintenance must be performed
to assure proper operation of the
equipment. Filters should be inspect-
ed at least every three months, and re-
placed when it is evident they are
dirty. Filter sizing includes:
WARNING
Hazardous
Voltage!
Disconnect all electric power, in-
cluding remote disconnects and
discharge motor start/run capaci-
tors before servicing. Follow prop-
er lockout/tagout procedures to
ensure the power can not be inad-
vertently energized. Failure to dis-
connect power before servicing
could result in death or serious in-
jury.
Check the contactors and relays within
the control panel at least once a year.
It is good practice to check the tight-
ness of the various wiring connections
within the control panel.
A strainer (60 mesh or greater) must
be used on an open loop system to
keep debris from entering the unit heat
exchanger and to ensure a clean sys-
tem.
For units on well water, it is important
to check the cleanliness of the water-
to-refrigerant heat exchanger. Should
it become contaminated with dirt and
scaling as a result of bad water, the
heat exchanger will have to be back
flushed and cleaned with a chemical
that will remove the scale. This service
