Inspect filters at least monthly and replace or clean as
required. Washable filters may be cleaned by soaking in
mild detergent and rinsing with cold water. Replace filters
with the arrows on the side pointing in the direction of air
flow. Dirty filters are the most common cause of inadequate
heating or cooling performance, and of compressor
failures.
HEATING SEASON CHECKS (MONTHLY)
Main Burner Flame
Flames should be stable and solid blue, (dust may cause
orange tips or they may have wisps of yellow, but they
MUST not have solid yellow tips). They should extend
directly into the heat exchanger tubes and the turbulators
should glow orange (after about five minutes of operation).
Main burner flame should be inspected monthly.
Figure18 L NormalFlame
Turbulator will glow
orange when hot.
Flame should be
stable and solid
blue.
Using a light and mirror (as required) inspect the inside of
the vent hood and the inlet air opening in the burner
compartment. Look for soot and severe rust or corrosion
and any obstructions due to leaves, spiderwebs, etc. Clean
as required.
COOLING SEASON CHECKS (MONTHLY)
Condenser Coil
Keep the condenser inlet and outlet area clean and free of
leaves, grass clippings or other debris. Grass should be
kept short in front of the condenser inlet. Shrubbery MUST
be trimmed back so it is no closer than 30 inches to unit.
Condensate Drain
Check for condensate drainage. Clean as required.
ANNUAL MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD.
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal
injury, and/or death.
Turn off electric power supply at disconnect switch or
service panel before removing any access or service
panel from unit.
The annual inspection should include cleaning as required
to ensure efficient operation of the unit. To simplify access,
remove all access panels and the top from the unit if
possible.
Condenser Fan Motor
Note: The condenser fan motor is permanently lubricated.
No further lubrication is required. Do not attempt to
lubricate the condenser fan motor.
VENT ASSEMBLY
BURN HAZARD.
Failure to follow this caution may result in personal
injury or property damage.
Flue cover may be hot! Allow adequate time for flue
cover to cool.
Clean the surrounding area and the condenser and
evaporator coils. Use caution to avoid damage to coil fins.
BLOWER MOTOR ACCESS
Refer to Figure 19 for a view of blower motor and
compartment.
1. Remove the blower access panel
2. Remove the three screws securing the blower motor
housing. If unit has a support bracket, remove the two
screws securing the bracket.
3. Remove the two red wires attached to the limit switch.
Motor removal and replacement
This method is required to replace or repair blower wheel,
blower housing, or any unreachable components behind
blower assembly.
1. Remove all screws around rim of unit top, (except
screws which are inaccessible because of proximity to
structure).
2. Raise unit top at corner of unit closest to blower at least
2" and place a sturdy brace at least 2" thick between top
and unit corner. A 2X4 piece of wood is ideal for this.
3. Disconnect all wires from housing and slide housing out
of unit. Reverse this process to reinstall.
Circulating Air Blower
Visually inspect the blower wheel for accumulations of dirt
or lint. Clean the compartment and the blower wheel. If
accumulation is excessive on blower wheel, or does not
easily remove, it will be necessary to remove the blower
assembly.
