Table 30 — Belt Tension Adjustment
Condenser-Fan Adjustment (Fig. 35)
1. Shut off unit power supply.
2. Remove condenser-fan assembly (grille, motor, motor
cover, and fan) and loosen fan hub setscrews.
3. Adjust fan height as shown in Fig. 35.
4. Tighten setscrews and replace condenser-fan assembly.
5. Turn on power to unit.
Verify Sensor Performance — Using an ohmmeter
and a thermometer, compare measured temperature to the
resistance shown in Table 31.

Economizer Operation During Power Fail-
ure —
Dampers have a spring return. In event of power fail-
ure, dampers will return to fully closed position until power is
restored. Do not manually operate damper motor.
Evacuation — Proper evacuation of the system will re-
move noncondensables and ensure a tight, dry system before
charging. Evacuate from both high and low side ports. Never
use the system compressor as a vacuum pump. Refrigerant
tubes and indoor coil should be evacuated to 500 microns.
Always break a vacuum with dry nitrogen. The two possible
methods are the deep vacuum method and the triple evacuation
method
DEEP VACUUM METHOD — The deep vacuum method
requires a vacuum pump capable of pulling a minimum vacu-
um of 500 microns and a vacuum gage capable of accurately
measuring this vacuum depth. The deep vacuum method is the
most positive way of assuring a system is free of air and liquid
water. (See Fig. 36.)
TRIPLE EVACUATION METHOD — The triple evacuation
method should only be used when vacuum pump is capable of
pumping down to 28 in. of mercury and system does not con-
tain any liquid water. Proceed as follows:
1. Pump system down to 28 in. of mercury and allow pump
to continue operating for an additional 15 minutes.
2. Close service valves and shut off vacuum pump.
3. Connect a nitrogen cylinder and regulator to system and
open until system pressure is 2 psig.
4. Close service valve and allow system to stand for 1 hr.
During this time, dry nitrogen will be able to diffuse
throughout the system, absorbing moisture.
5. Repeat this procedure. System will then contain minimal
amounts of contaminants and water vapor.
