The outdoor fan draws air across the coil during
operation which results in contaminants collecting on
and between the aluminum fins. These contaminants
restrict the air-flow through the coil resulting in
reduced capacity and efficiency and increases the
temperature of the components that can reduce their
life. Therefore, it is recommended that the outdoor
coil be cleaned at least annually by a qualified service
technician using a non- corrosive coil cleaner and low
pressure water hose sprayer. Care must be taken not
to damage or flatten out the fins by spraying the fins
from an angle. Washing from the top of the coil down
from the inside out is the most effective method of
cleaning the coil. The exterior louver panels and unit
top are easily removable to facilitate the coil cleaning
task.
WARNING: Disconnect electrical power to the unit
before removing the top panel or any electrical
panel as the fan motor could start at any time and
live electrical connections will be exposed.
Annual cleaning of the exterior cabinet is
recommended using a mild detergent, water, and
cloth/sponge to remove dust, mold, and potentially
corrosive contaminants that have collected on the
cabinet. It is also recommended to apply a good
quality automotive wax to the painted metal cabinet
parts annually to protect the finish and to restore
the gloss of the paint. Do not apply wax to the
plastic parts.
The ball bearings in the outdoor motor are pre-
lubricated by the motor manufacturer and do not
have oiling ports. The motor will run for an indefinite
period of time without additional lubrication.
Any replacement part used to replace parts
originally supplied on equipment must be the same
as or an approved alternate to the original part
supplied. The manufacturer will not be responsible
for replacement parts not designed to physically fit
or operate within the design parameters the original
parts were selected for.
