MAINTENANCE
The AC2880 will provide many years of faithful service if properly maintained. Following is a checklist
of items which will ensure the AC2880 performs at peak efficiency and presents an image to your
customers that your shop performs high tech A/C service.
^ Use tool tray for storage of tools and accessory adapters. Do not place tools on the front surface
of the unit.
^ Coil and store hoses in the storage pockets on the side of the AC2880 when not in use. Avoid
hanging hoses over the top of the unit.
^ Keep the exterior surfaces clean. Use a mild all purpose cleaner to wipe oil and dirt off the
cabinet.
^ Do not allow the unit to sit outside in direct sunlight or inclement weather. Excessive moisture
may cause damage and will void the warranty.
^ The AC2880 is not intended to be used for mobile A/C service where the unit is transported to
customer sites. Excessive vibration will shorten component life.
^ Be gentle when moving the AC2880 around the shop. Tip the unit and ease the front casters over
any obstacles such as door jams and potholes.
^ Periodically remove the rear cover and check for refrigerant leaks inside the AC2880 using a leak
detector. A small leak found early will prevent future undetected loss of refrigerant.
^ Use regulated, clean shop air to remove debris from the fins of the condenser coils. Be careful
and do not disturb any internal components.
^ Periodically remove front louvered panel and check oil levels in both compressors. Oil should be
visible in the oil sight tube when the compressor is not operating. If oil is not visible, call RTI
Technical Support 800-468-2321.
^ Change filters when the display indicates a filter change is due.
FILTER CHANGE
After every 25 hours, the display will remind the technician that filters should be changed as soon as
possible. This will be displayed continually, prior to the main menu until reset. There are two filters on
each side of the AC2880. The large inlet filters must be changed after every 25 hours while the smaller
outlet filters must be changed after every 50 hours.
Turn power off and remove rear cover to change filters. The foam insulation on the smaller outlet filter
must be removed from the old filter and installed on the new one.
Check for leaks after replacing filters.
Reset the change filter message as described in the stored data section.
