Starting Unit in Cooling Mode
1. Close the unit disconnect switch which provides 
power to the unit.
High voltage is present in some
areas of the unit (primarily the main electrical 
cabinet) with the unit disconnect switch closed. 
Failure to exercise caution when working in the 
presence of energized electrical components 
may result in injury or death from electrical 
shock.
2. Set the thermostat/switching subbase as indicated
below: a. position the cooling system switch at either 
COOL or AUTO; b. set the fan switch to AUTO.
3. Place the system switch in the ON position.
With the thermostat calling for cooling, unit operation is 
automatic.

VI. MAINTENANCE
HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE! 
DISCONNECT ALL ELECTRIC 
POWER INCLUDING REMOTE 
DISCONNECTS BEFORE 
SERVICING. Failure to 
disconnect power before 
servicing can cause severe 
personal injury or death.
It is the service technician’s
responsibility to check all safety controls! Check 
and test the operational functions of all safety 
devices supplied with this unit. Failure to do so 
could result in unsafe conditions and may result 
in death, serious injury or property damage. 
Inspect the suspension and/or
support system for the make-up air unit to ensure 
that all fasteners are tight and the unit is secure 
before working underneath the unit. Failuree to 
do so could result in property damage, personal 
injury, or death.
Gas tightness of the safety shut-
off valves must be checked on at least an annual 
basis.
To check gas tightness of the safety shut-off valves, turn off 
the manual valve upstream of the appliance combination 
control. Remove the 1/8" pipe plug on the inlet side of the 
combination control and connect a manometer to that 
tapping. Turn the manual valve on to apply pressure to 
the combination control. Note the pressure reading on 
the manometer, then turn the valve off. A loss of pressure 
indicates a leak. If a leak is detected, use a soap solution 
to check all threaded connections. If no leak is found, 
combination control is faulty and must be replaced before 
putting appliance back in service.
These units have been developed for indoor installation. 
Maintenance is required and it is suggested that the 
following unit servicing and inspections be performed 
routinely. Also read in entirety and refer to the Separated 
Combustion Indoor Duct Furnace Manual for maintenance 
requirements.
Inspect area near unit to be sure that there is no 
combustible material located within the minimum 
clearance requirements (See Figure 11). Service panels 
provide easy access to the blower compartment and the 
electrical cabinet. To remove the service door from any 
of these compartments, refer to access panel removal 
section in beginning of this manual.
Under no circumstance should
combustible material be located within the 
specifi ed clearances. Failure to provide proper 
clearance could result in personal injury or 
property damage from fi re.
1. Follow the instructions in the maintenance section of
the of the Separated Combustion Indoor Duct Furnace 
manual for servicing the furnace section of the make-
up air unit.
2. Inspect and service the blower section of the system.
3. Inspect and check the operational functions of all
safety devices equipped with your unit to ensure that 
all devices are performing adequately.
