Maintenance Periodic
Checklists
Monthly Checklist
The following check list provides the
recommended maintenance schedule to
keep the commercial self-contained
equipment running efficiently.

ƽWARNING
Hazardous Voltage w/Capaci-
tors!
Disconnect all electric power, including
remote disconnects before servicing.
Follow proper lockout/tagout proce-
dures to ensure the power cannot be
inadvertently energized. For variable
frequency drives or other energy storing
components provided by Trane or others,
refer to the appropriate manufacturer’s
literature for allowable waiting periods
for discharge of capacitors. Verify with an
appropriate voltmeter that all capacitors
have discharged. Failure to disconnect
power and discharge capacitors before
servicing could result in death or serious
injury.
Note: For additional information regard-
ing the safe discharge of capacitors, see
PROD-SVB06A-EN or PROD-SVB06A-FR.
1. Inspect unit air filters. Clean or replace
if airflow is blocked or if filters are dirty.
2. Inspect coils for excess moisture or
icing. Icing on the coils may indicate low
airflow supply, restricted airflow from
dirty fins, evaporator frost protection
sensor problems, or a shortage of
refrigerant flowing through the coil.
3. Check that condensate from the
evaporator and economizer coils flows
freely through the condensate piping,
traps, drain pan, and drainage holes.
Remove algae and or any airflow
obstructions.
4. Check the condition and tension of fan
belts. Adjust tension if belts are floppy
or squeal continually. Replace worn or
fraying belts in matched sets.
Note: Check belt tension and adjust it at
least twice daily the first days of new belt
operation. Belt tension will rapidly decrease
until the belts are run in.
5. Check the liquid line sight glasses
during operation. Bubbles in the sight
glasses indicate a possible shortage of
refrigerant or an obstruction in the
liquid lines, e.g. dirty liquid line filter
driers.
6. Inspect filter driers for leaks, flow
obstructions, or temperature drop
across the filter drier. A noticeable
temperature differential, e.g. 5°F, in the
liquid line may indicate an obstruction.
Replace the filter drier if it appears
clogged.
7. Inspect the optional waterside
economizer coil. Clean the coil to
prevent airflow restrictions through the
fins.
8. Check and record operating pressures.
Semi-Annual Maintenance
1. Verify the fan motor is properly
lubricated. Follow lubrication
recommendations on the motor tag or
nameplate. Contact the motor
manufacturer for more information.
2. Lubricate fan bearings. For best results,
lubricate bearings during unit operation.
Refer to the “Fan Bearings” section on
page 84.
3. With power disconnected, manually
rotate the fan wheel to check for
obstructions in the housing or
interference with fan blades or inlet
guide vane option. Remove
obstructions and debris. Center the fan
wheel if necessary.
4. Check the fan assembly sheave
alignment. Tighten set screws to their
proper torques.
5. Check water valves for leakage at
valve stem packing nut.
6. Inspect the inlet vane assembly and
perform maintenance procedures in
the IGV maintenance section.
Note: Perform this procedure monthly if the
unit is in a coastal or corrosive environ-
ment.
Annual Maintenance
Check and tighten all set screws, bolts,
locking collars and sheaves.
1. Inspect, clean, and tighten all electrical
connections.
2. Visually inspect the entire unit casing
for chips or corrosion. Remove rust or
corrosion and repaint surfaces.
3. Visually check for leaks in refrigerant
piping.
4. Inspect fan, motor, and control contacts.
Replace badly worn or eroded contacts.
5. Inspect the thermal expansion valve
sensing bulbs for cleanliness, good
contact with the suction line, and
adequate insulation from ambient air.
6. Verify the superheat setting is 12 -17°F
at the compressor.
When checking operating pressures and
conditions, establish the following
nominal conditions for consistent mea-
surements.
1. Leaving air temperature greater than
60°F
2. Entering air temperature is 80 - 90°F
3. Entering water temperature greater
than 65°F
4. Inlet guide vanes at least halfway open
5. Compressors running at full load
6. Drain the condensing water system
and inspect it thoroughly for fouling,
clean condensers if necessary.
