System Maintenance
 CAUTION:
Be certain all electrical power 
to the unit is disconnected 
before performing the following 
recommended maintenance.
Proper maintenance is most important 
to achieve the best performance 
from the appliance and should be 
performed by a qualified service 
technician at least once a year. Follow 
the maintenance schedule and the 
instructions below for years of safe, 
trouble free operation.
•  Do not place combustible 
materials on or against the 
cabinet.
•  Do not store gasoline or any 
other fl ammable vapors and 
liquids in the vicinity of the 
unit.
•  Annually inspect the physical 
support of the unit to ensure that 
it is physically sound without 
sagging, cracks, gaps, etc., 
around the base so as to provide 
a seal between the support and 
the base.
•  Annually inspect the return-
air connection to ensure that 
it is physically sound and is 
still sealed to the casing of the 
unit.
•  Annually inspect the unit and 
ductwork for signs of physical 
deterioration.
•  Always replace the doors on 
the unit after servicing. Do not 
operate the unit without all doors 
and covers in place.
1. Regular Cleaning:

•  Clean the blower compartment 
regularly during the heating and 
cooling seasons to remove any 
dust that may have accumulated 
in the compartment or on the 
blower and motor. Buildup of 
dust on the blower and motor 
can create excessive loads on 
the motor resulting in higher than 
normal operating temperatures 
and possible shortened service 
life. 
2. Air Filters:
 WARNING!
Never operate the unit without 
a fi lter in the return air system. 
Dust and lint in the return air 
can build up on the internal 
components, resulting in a 
loss of effi ciency, equipment 
damage, and possible fire 
risk.
6, 7½ and 10 ton rooftop package units 
are factory equipped with pleated 2” 
disposable fi lters. The fi lters should 
be checked periodically and replaced 
(or cleaned) when necessary with 
fi lters of the same dimensional size.

a minimum airfl ow rating of 500 FPM 
or permanent fi lters only. The fi lter rack 
is fi eld adjustable to accommodate 
1” permanent fi lters. DO NOT use 1” 
disposable fi lters in these units.
NOTE: Filters must be ULC approved 
or equivalent for use in Canada.
Always replace the fi lter  access
