MAINTENANCE
7. MAINTENANCE
The unit should be periodically inspected according to the same items as those described in the paragraph entitled "Test Running". In order to ensure dependable operation and long life, the following additional items should be given particular attention.
Refrigerant Cycle
Strainer - Check for clogging after the time when the cycle is opened. Refrigerant Re-Charge - When the cycle requires re-charging due to leakage or replacement of parts, follow the procedures given below for two cases (refer to Fig.12). 1.Connect a vacuum pump and a low-pressure compound gauge to the high-pressure check joint at the compressor discharge side, and completely evacuate the cycle. 2.Connect a charging cylinder to the check joint illustrated in the figure, and charge refrigerant in the cycle by weighing the charging cylinder. Proper refrigerant charge is specified on the unit nameplate or given in the figure. When Slight Leakage from the cycle Occurs Evacuation might not be required. 1.Connect a high-pressure compound gauge to the high-pressure check joint. 2.Connect a charging cylinder and a low-pressure compound gauge to the check joint illustrated in the figure. 3.Operate the unit. 4.Slowly charge refrigerant vapor into the cycle, until the pressure reach the points illustrated in Fig. 12.
Components
Compressor - No maintenance work is required for hermetic compressors, if the cycle remains sealed. Air-Cooled Condenser - Inspect the condenser and remove any accumulated dirt from the coil at regular intervals. Other obstacles such as growing grass and pieces of paper, which might restrict air flow, should also be removed. Electrical Equipment - Always pay careful attention to working voltage, amperage and phase balance. Check for faulty contact caused by loosened terminal connections, oxidized contacts, foreign matter and others. Control and Protective Devices - Do not readjust the setting in the field unless the setting is maintained at a point other than the point listed in Table 4. Field-Supplied Filter - Inspect for accumulated dirt on the filter. Exchange or clean the filter if required. The inspection interval may be determined by the operating conditions for each installation site. Condensate Drain Pan and Drain Line Inspect and/or clean the condensate drain line at least twice a year. Evaporator Fan - Check for a loosened fan belt and abnormal sounds.
Lubrication
Compressor - The compressors are charged at the factory with the correct oil listed in "Component Detailed Data" in Technical Catalog and the compressor nameplate. It is not necessary to add oil, if the cycle remains sealed. Fan Motors and Bearings - All fan motors and the evaporator fan shaft bearings are pre-lubricated. Lubrication is not required.

Compressor Removal When removing the compressor 1.Shut OFF the power supply to the unit. 2.Remove all wiring connections and piping connections to the compressor. 3.Remove the bolts fastened on the compressor frame. 4.Upward lift and pull out the compressor.
8. WINTER SHUTDOWN
Winter shutdown When shutting down the unit for winter, clean the inside and the outside of the cabinet and dry the unit, especially the drain pan and the drain lines. This unit shall be preferably covered during shutdown, in order to protect it from dust and environmental conditions. Spring Start-Up After any extended shutdown period, prepare the unit for operation as follows. 1.Thoroughly inspect and clean the unit. 2.Clean or replace the air filters. 3.Clean the condensate drain lines.
DANGER Turn OFF all the switches before servicing. DANGER Do not charge OXYGEN, ACETYLENE or other flammable and poisonous gases into the refrigeration cycle when performing a leakage test or an airtight test. These types of gases are extremely dangerous, because explosion can occur. It is recommended that compressed air, nitrogen or refrigerant be charged for these types of tests.
