MAINTENANCE
MOTOR
The blower motor should be cleaned annually and if it 
has oiling ports, it should be oiled with a good grade 
of SAE 20 oil. Normally a few drops of oil in each 
bearing is sufficient.
COIL
The coil must be kept clean by any of the following 
methods.
       1.  Cleaning with low-pressure compressed air.
       2.  Flushing or rinsing with water (a detergent is  
 
advisable for greasy surfaces).
FILTERS
The  intervals  at  which  filters  require  replacement 
depend on local conditions.
Because of dust and lint in the room, room-air filters 
load up much more rapidly than outdoor-air filters.  
Under normal conditions, the room air filter requires 
replacement every six to eight weeks.
To ensure proper maintenance of the filters, it is best 
to follow an organized maintenance procedure.  The 
following one is recommended:

New Release 
Clean or Replace Air Filters Regu-
larly
Dirty filters reduce the air and heat-
ing capacities of the Unit Ventilator.  
When the filters are excessively dirty, 
the unit heating capacity will be so re-
duced that it is ineffective for heating 
the room.  When a room fails to heat, 
always check the filters.
Divide the total number of units on the job into six 
equal groups.  Each week inspect, clean or replace 
the filters in each group, in rotation.  This insures 
a uniform servicing interval.  The interval may be 
lengthened or shortened as determined by experience.  
If inspection shows only the room-air filter to be dirty, 
this one alone should be replaced.
CLEAN UNIT INTERIOR
Once a year clean the fans and coils of the unit thor-
oughly.  Remove the access panel as necessary.
Wipe the interior of the unit clean with a rag.  Wipe 
the motor and inside and outside of the fan housings.  
(In cooling units, clean out the drain pan.)
