SERVICE 
 
WARNING
 
 
NEVER reach into unit while 
fan is running. LOCK OPEN 
AND TAG unit disconnect 
before working on fan. Remove 
fuses and take them with you 
after noting this on tag
 
CAUTION  
 
1.  Sharp edges of coil fins are exposed. To 
prevent injury, cover top of evaporator 
with cardboard or a few layers of heavy 
tape. 
2.  To avoid coil damage, cover evaporator 
face with plywood or other rigid sheet 
material. If any coil fins are mashed or 
bent, straighten with a coil fin comb of the 
proper tooth spacing (refer to “coil 
fins/inch” in Table 1). Check for 
refrigerant leaks. 
 
Return-Air Grille Removal 
1.  Pull grille out from top. 
2.  Pull grille up to release hinge pins from lower panel. 
3.  To reassemble, reverse procedure. 
 
Access Panel Removal - Remove return-air grille as 
described above. 
 
 
Remove the panel fastening screws now exposed. 
 
 
TOP PANEL - Pull out and down. 
 
 
BOTTOM - Pull out and up. 
 
Evaporator Fan Adjustment - Observe fan compartment 
Caution note above. The fan motor pulleys are factory set 
at the fan speeds listed in Table 1. 
 
TO CHANGE FAN SPEED 
1.  Shut off unit power supply. 
2.  Loosen fan belt by loosening fan motor from mounting 
bracket. Do not loosen fan motor mounting bracket 
from unit.  
3.  Loosen movable pulley flange set screw (Figure. 8). 
4.  Screw movable flange toward fixed flange to increase 
fan speed and away from fixed flange to decrease 
speed. Increasing fan speed increases load on motor. 
Do not exceed maximum allowable fan speed (Tables 
1A/B/C/2A/B/C) or motor full load amps indicated on 
motor nameplate. 
5.  Set movable flange set screw at nearest flat of pulley 
hub and tighten set screw. 
 
FIGURE 8 - FAN PULLEY ADJUSTMENT 
 
6.  Check pulley alignment and belt tension adjustment as 
described below. 
7.  Check fan operation. Repeat above procedure as 
required. 
 
PULLEY ALIGNMENT - Shut off unit power supply. 
Loosen fan motor pulley set screws and slide fan pulley 
along fan shaft. Make angular alignment by loosening 
motor from mounting bracket (See Figure. 8). 
 
BELT TENSION ADJUSTMENT - Shut off unit power 
supply. Loosen fan motor from mounting bracket. Do not 
loosen motor mounting bracket from unit. Move fan motor 
up or down until proper belt tension is achieved (approxi-
mately 3/4-in. deflection with 8-pound tension at midpoint 
of belt span). 
 
Lubrication
 - Fan motor and fan shaft bearings are 
lubricated for the life of the bearings. No re-lubrication is 
required 
 
Return-Air Filters
 - Inspect filters twice monthly and clean 
as required by operating conditions. Filter size and type 
are listed in Tables 1A/B/C/2A/B/C. To clean filters flush 
with hot water or steam or soak in a mild water solution of 
soap or detergent. Refer to filter manufacturer's 
instructions as applicable. 
 
Do not operate unit without return-air filters in place. 
 
Condensate Drains - Clean the drain line and unit drain 
pan at the start of each cooling season. Check flow by 
pouring water into drain. Be sure trap is filled as shown in 
Figure. 7 to maintain an air seal. 
 
 
Manufacturer reserves the right to discontinue, or change at any time, specifications or designs without notice and without incurring obligations
