To inspect blower wheel, open heat section door. Using a
flashlight, look into the flue exhaust duct to inspect. If cleaning is

required, remove motor and wheel assembly by removing the
screws holding the flue box cover to the flue box. Remove the

screws holding the inducer housing to the inlet plate. The wheel

can then be removed from the motor shaft and cleaned with a
detergent or solvent. Replace the wheel onto the motor shaft in the

correct position and reassemble the flue cover onto the flue box.

Lubrication

Compressors

Each compressor is charged with the correct amount of oil at the
factory.

UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in damage to unit

components.
The compressor is in a Puron refrigerant system and uses a

polyolester (POE) oil. This oil is extremely hygroscopic,

meaning it absorbs water readily. POE oils can absorb 15

times as much water as other oils designed for HCFC and

CFC refrigerants. Avoid exposure of the oil to the

atmosphere.

CAUTION

!

Polyolester (POE) compressor lubricants are known to cause long
term damage to some synthetic roofing materials. Exposure, even if

immediately cleaned up, may cause roofing materials to become
brittle (leading to cracking) within a year. When performing any

service which may risk exposure of compressor oil to the roof, take
appropriate precautions to protect roofing. Procedures which risk

oil leakage include compressor replacement, repairing refrigerant

leaks, and replacing refrigerant components. To prepare rooftop:

1. Cover extended roof work area with an impermeable plastic

dropcloth or tarp. Make sure a 10 x 10 ft area around the
work area is covered.

2. Cover area in front of the unit service panel with a terry

cloth shop towel to absorb lubricant spills and prevent
run-offs. Towel will also protect dropcloth from tears caused

by tools or components.

3. Place terry cloth shop towel inside the unit directly under

components to be serviced to prevent spills through the
bottom of the unit.

4. Perform the required service.
5. Remove an dispose of any oil contaminated material per

local codes.

Indoor Fan Shaft Bearings

The indoor fan has permanently sealed bearings. No field
lubrication is necessary.

Condenser and Evaporator--Fan Motor Bearings

The condenser-fan and evaporator-fan motors have permanently

sealed bearings, so no field lubrication is necessary.

Economizer or Manual Outside Air Damper

If blade adjustment is required, refer to unit or accessory

installation instructions.

Evaporator Fan Service and Replacement

The units feature a slide-out fan deck for easy servicing of the
indoor-fan motor, pulleys, belt, bearings and VFD. To service

components in this section, perform the following procedure:

1. Turn off unit power.
2. Open the fan section access door.
3. Remove two no. 10 screws at front of slide-out fan deck.

Save screws. (See Fig. 30.)

4. Disconnect the electrical wires connected to the slide--out

fan deck (supply air thermistor and fan status switch if

installed). Wires may be damaged if not disconnected.

5. Fan deck can now be slid out to access serviceable

components.

UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in damage to the

unit.
DO NOT SLIDE FAN DECK OUT PAST THE FAN

DECK STOP. If further access is required, the fan deck

must be supported. Make sure plugs and wiring are not

pinched between fan housing and unit sheet metal post.

CAUTION

!

6. To replace fan deck to operating position, slide fan deck

back into the unit. Secure with the two no. 10 screws
removed in Step 3.

7. Re-attach electrical wires.
8. Close fan section access door.
9. Restore power to unit.

Fig. 30 -- Evaporator--Fan Motor Adjustment

Evaporator Fan Performance Adjustment

Fan motor pulleys are factory set for speed shown in Appendix D.
To change fan speeds:

1. Shut off unit power supply.
2. Loosen nuts on the 4 carriage bolts in the mounting base.

Using adjusting bolts and plate, slide motor and remove

belt.

3. Loosen movable-pulley flange setscrew. (See Fig. 31.)
4. Screw movable flange toward fixed flange to increase speed

and away from fixed flange to decrease speed. Increasing
fan speed increases load on motor. Do not exceed maximum

speed specified in Appendix D.
See Appendix D for air quantity limits.

5. Set movable flange at nearest keyway of pulley hub and

tighten setscrew. (See Appendix D for speed change for
each full turn of pulley flange.)

6. Replace belts.
