V-TYPICAL OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS
A-Blower Operation and Adjustment
1 -   Blower operation is dependent on thermostat control 
system.
2 -   Generally,  blower  operation  is  set  at  thermostat 
subbase fan switch. With fan switch in ON position, 
blower  operates  continuously.  With  fan  switch  in 
AUTO position, blower cycles with demand or runs 
continuously while heating or cooling circuit cycles.
3 -   Depending on the type of indoor thermostat, blower 
and entire unit will be o when the system switch is 
in OFF position.
B-Temperature Rise (FIGURE 53)
Temperature rise for ML296UHV units depends on unit in-
put, blower speed, blower horsepower and static pressure 
as marked on the unit rating plate. The blower speed must 
be set for unit operation within the range of “TEMP. RISE 
°F” listed on the unit rating plate.

C-External Static Pressure
1 -   Tap locations shown in FIGURE 54.
2 -   Punch  a  1/4”  diameter  hole  in  supply  and  return 
air  plenums.  Insert  manometer  hose  ush  with 
inside edge  of  hole  or  insulation.  Seal around  the 
hose with permagum. Connect the zero end of the 
manometer  to  the  discharge  (supply)  side  of  the 
system. On ducted systems, connect the other end 
of manometer to the return duct as above.
3 -   With  only  the  blower  motor  running  and  the 
evaporator coil dry, observe the manometer reading. 
Adjust blower motor speed to deliver the air desired 
according to the job requirements.
For  heating  speed  (second  stage  heat  speed) 
external static pressure drop must not be more than 
0.8”  W.C.  For  cooling  speed  (second  stage  cool 
speed)  external  static  pressure  drop  must  not  be 
more than 1.0” W.C.
4 -   Seal the hole when the check is complete.

VI-MAINTENANCE
 WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK, FIRE,
OR EXPLOSION HAZARD.
Failure to follow safety warnings exactly could 
result in dangerous operation, serious injury, death 
or property damage.
Improper servicing could result in dangerous 
operation, serious injury, death, or property damage. 
Before servicing, disconnect all electrical power to 
furnace.
When servicing controls, label all wires prior 
to disconnecting. Take care to reconnect wires 
correctly. Verify proper operation after servicing.
At the beginning of each heating season, system should 
be checked as follows by a qualied service technician:
Blower
Check the blower wheel for debris and clean if necessary. 
The blower motors are prelubricated for extended bearing 
life. No further lubrication is needed.
Filters
All air lters are installed external to the unit. Filters should 
be  inspected  monthly.  Clean  or  replace  the  lters  when 
necessary to ensure proper furnace operation. TABLE 23 
lists recommended lter sizes.
