• Are pulleys, motor, and bearings securely mounted?
• Are there any loose parts that will rattle or vibrate?
• Is condensate drain pan pitched for correct drainage?
• Are coil baffle plates tight against coil to prevent air
bypass?
• Are all panels securely fastened?

SERVICE
Inspection and maintenance should be performed at
regular intervals and should include the following:
• Complete cleaning of cabinet, fan wheel, cooling coil, con-
densate pan and drain, heating coils, and return-air grille
(if present).
• Inspection of panels and sealing of unit against air
leakage.
• Adjustment of fan motor, belt, bearings, and wheels.
• Cleaning or replacement of filters.
• Testing for cooling/heating system leaks.
• Checking of all electrical connections.
Most unit service can be performed by removing one or
both of the unit’s side panels. Coil cleaning or removal or
insulation cleaning may require removal of a rear, top, or
bottom panel, depending on the unit’s orientation. When serv-
ice is completed, replace unit panels.
Panels —
Panels are fastened to unit frame with sheet
metal screws. Fan and coil compartment must be sealed tightly
after service to prevent air from bypassing the cooling coil.
Fan Motor Lubrication —
Fan motor supplied with
unit is permanently lubricated and requires no further
lubrication.
Fan Shaft Bearings —
Bearings on 007-012 size units
are sealed, permanently lubricated bearings that require no
further lubrication. Size 014-034 units have pillow-block bear-
ings (Fig. 17) that must be lubricated with suitable bearing
grease approximately every 3 months. See Table 7 for suit-
able lubricants.
