Preventative Maintenance:
• Thoroughly inspect and clean interior and exterior of machine with vacuum cleaner, (remove panels).
• Clean drain pan and note excessive corrosion, prepare metal and paint as necessary. Consult the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) to ensure that the paint lead level is 0.06% or less.
• Check for refrigerant leaks using a halogen detector or similar testing device. Repair all leaks before recharging unit. If leaks are not able to be stopped or corrected, report leak status to supervisor. Consult the MSDS for disposal requirements.
• Check refrigerant levels for proper charge and recharge as needed.
• Check condition of cooling and reheat coils. Use fin comb if needed to straighten fins.
• Clean coils, use coil cleaner detergent solution and high pressure water.
• Check belts for wear, adjust tension or alignment, and replace when necessary.
• Drain and clean humidifier drip pan, if applicable. Remove corrosion; prime, and paint as needed.
• Lubricate motor and fan bearings, if not sealed. Check alignment of motor and fan.
• Replace prefilters if needed.
• Replace final filters if needed.
• Check compressor oil level, if compressor has an oil sight glass.
• Run machine, check action of controls, relays, switches, etc., to see that:
o compressor(s) run at proper settings.
o reheat coils activate properly.
o humidistat activates humidifier.
o suction and discharge pressures are proper.
o discharge air pressure is set properly.
• Check and tighten any loose unit electrical terminals, disconnect switches, or connectors.
• Check and adjust vibration eliminators. Replace if required.
• Clean surrounding area, record results and findings and report any needed repairs or operational adjustments.
Safety Warnings or Special Precautions:
