START-UP
Pre-Startup
Building Envelope—All building windows and doors should
be installed and closed before starting unit. During summer
construction, avoid unit sweating by allowing for gradual pull
down: use reduced capacity and use maximum available
airflow.
Temperature Controls-Check that unit is connected to the
controls system and communicating properly.
Outside Air and Freeze Protection
WARNING: Insure that the property is protected against
freezing conditions Failure to provide freeze protection
may result in property damage.Freeze protection
measures are customer-provided and installed and include
but are not limited to low-limit thermostats, automatic temper-
ature controls, and outside air dampers.
Startup
1. Insure electrical installation agrees with the unit name-
plate (voltage, branch circuit protection, wire size).
2. Close all panels and access doors. Make sure filter me-
dia is clean before starting unit. Replace filter if neces-
sary.
3. Verify that discharge ductwork and input plenum are in
place and secure.
4. Apply power to unit. If unit is equipped with on-board
power switch(es), turn switch(es) to the “On” position.
5. Insure that controls system has power and is operational.
6. Force control system to send fan on signal and speed
signal. Refer to unit wiring diagram and electrical section
for fan speed control arrangement.
7. Fan should start and run. Make sure fan operates with-
out significant noise or vibration.
8. Allow control system to start condensing unit, or as re-
quired for the installation.
9. Complete the checklist on the Start-Up Report.
10. Follow additional startup procedures for the system as
required by the condensing unit.
Fan Airflow Step-Up
If the duct system ESP is higher than planned and increased
Air Handler ESP is needed, shift the terminals as shown in
Figure 15.
Refer to Airflow tables and curves for airflow performance.

SERVICE
General
1. Review Safety Considerations at beginning of
these instructions. Good safety habits are im-
portant tools when performing service proce-
dures.
2. To make speed measurements, use a laser-style
tachometer.
Fan Motor Replacement
WARNING: Shut off motor power and lock out power
supply.
Remove Blower/Motor Assembly
Procedure:
1. Disconnect wiring harness plugs from motor (Fig.
16 and 17).
2. Remove blower mounting bolts, which secure the
blower rails upward against the blower deck
(2ea).
3. Remove motor/wheel assembly from the AHU by
sliding out (Figure 18).
4. See Figure 19. Loosen shaft set screw (opposite
motor side) and motor mount tightening screw
until motor can be removed.
5. Remove motor. Install new motor (Fig. 20), tight-
en motor mount bolt, then locate fan wheel and
tighten shaft set screw.
6. Reverse steps 1-4 to reinstall fan. Make sure
that the two clips at the back hold the blower rails
up against the blower deck.
7. Spin fan by hand to make sure there is no rub-
bing or interference.
8. Close unit access doors, remove lockout/tag out
and restore the unit to operation.
DANGER
NEVER enter an enclosed fan cabinet or reach
into a unit while the fan is running.
LOCK OPEN AND TAG the fan motor power dis-
connect switch before working on a fan. Take fus-
es with you and note removal on tag. Electric
shock can cause personal injury or death.
LOCK OPEN AND TAG the electric heat coil pow-
er disconnect switch before working on or near
heaters.
Failure to follow these warnings could lead to per-
sonal injury or death.

Fan System Periodic Maintenance
1. The factory strongly recommends use of a Preven-
tive Maintenance program to insure that the unit
operates safely and efficiently.
2. Motor bearings are permanently sealed and do not
require lubrication.
3. Clean the fan’s flow area - maintenance interval in
accordance with the degree of contamination.
4. The fan wheel can be cleaned with a moist cloth.
5. Do not use any aggressive, paint solvent cleaning
agents when cleaning.
6. Never use a high-pressure cleaner or water-spray
for cleaning - particularly when the fan is running.
Coil Cleaning
DETERGENT — Spray mild detergent solution on
coils with garden-type sprayer. Rinse with fresh water.
Check to ensure condensate line is free. Excess water
from cleaning may flood unit if condensate line is
plugged.
DANGER
NEVER enter an enclosed fan cabinet or reach
into a unit while the fan is running.
LOCK OPEN AND TAG the fan motor power dis-
connect switch before working on a fan. Take fus-
es with you and note removal on tag. Electric
shock can cause personal injury or death.
LOCK OPEN AND TAG the electric heat coil pow-
er disconnect switch before working on or near
heaters.
Failure to follow these warnings could lead to per-
sonal injury or death.

FILTER SECTIONS — Open or remove
filter panel to replace old filter with a new
filter. See physical data tables for filter
data. See Figure 21.

1. Perform procedure on the ground for safety. If
working at heights USE EXTREME CAUTION ob-
serve all FALL SAFETY considerations. Under all
conditions, LOCK OUT all power supplies before
performing this procedure. W ARNING! Coil sec-
tion can be heavy—use proper lifting equipment.
2. Isolate coil and reclaim refrigerant. Disconnect
unit from piping. Remove supply piping to allow
access into the coil section from the front.
3. Remove blower access door and coil access
doors.
4. Carefully remove temperature sensors from the
coil and set them aside, clear of the coil & drain
pan assembly. Disconnect electronic expansion
valve (EEV) wiring from the EEV.
5. Remove 4 screws on the drain pan side of the
cabinet (right side shown in Fig. 23). Remove 4
screws from coil support side of the cabinet (left
side shown in Fig. 23).
6. Slide coil & drain pan assembly out of the unit (Fig
19).
7. Coil can be detached from drain pan using 5/16”
driver, 2 screws. Coil can be detached from coil
support using 5/16” driver, 4 screws.
8. Follow instructions in reverse to install new coil.
