Preventive Maintenance
Maintenance on the unit is simplified
with the following preventive sugges-
tions:
WARNING
Hazardous
Voltage!
Disconnect all electric power, in-
cluding remote disconnects be-
fore servicing. Follow proper
lockout/tagout procedures to en-
sure the power can not be inad-
vertently energized. Failure to
disconnect power before servic-
ing could result in death or seri-
ous injury.
Check the contactors and relays within
the control panel at least once a year.
It is good practice to check the tight-
ness of the various wiring connections
within the control panel.
A strainer (60 mesh or greater) must
be used on an open loop system to
keep debris from entering the unit heat
exchanger and to ensure a clean sys-
tem.
For units on well water, it is important
to check the cleanliness of the water-
to-refrigerant heat exchanger. Should
it become contaminated with dirt and
scaling as a result of bad water, the
heat exchanger will have to be back
flushed and cleaned with a chemical
that will remove the scale. This service
should be performed by an experi-
enced service person.
Maintenance
WARNING
Hazardous
Chemicals!
Coil cleaning agents can be either
acidic or highly alkaline. Handle
chemical carefully. Proper han-
dling should include goggles or
face shield, chemical resistant
gloves, boots, apron or suit as re-
quired. For personal safety, refer
to the cleaning agent manufactur-
ers Materials Safety Data Sheet
and follow all recommended safe
handling practices. Failure to fol-
low all safety instructions could
result in death or serious injury.
It should be noted that the water qual-
ity should be checked periodically. See
Table 9.
