Air Filters and Scr
eens
Each unit is equipped with return air filters. If the unit has
an economizer, it will also have an outside air screen. If a
manua l outside air damper is added, an inlet air screen
will also be present.
Each of these filters and screens will need to be
periodically replaced or cleaned.
Return Air
Filters
Return air filters are disposable fiberglass media type.
Access to the filters is through the small lift--out panel
loca ted on the rear side of the uni t, above the
evaporator/return air access panel. (See Fig. 1.)
To remove the filters:
1. Grasp the bottom flange of the upper panel.
2. Lift up and swing the bottom out until the panel dis-
engage s and pulls out.
3. Reach inside and extract the filters from the filter
rack.
4. Replace these filters as required with similar replace-
ment filters of same size.
To re -- install the access panel:
1. Slide the top of the panel up under the unit top panel.
2. Slide the bottom into the side channels.
3. Push the bottom flange down until it contacts the top
of the lower panel (or economizer top).
IMPORTANT: DO NOT OPERATE THE UNIT
WITHOUT THESE FILTERS!
Outside Air
Hood
Outside air hood inle t screens are permanent
aluminum--mesh type filters. Check these for cleanliness.
Remove the screens when cleaning is required. Clean by
washing with hot low--pressure water and soft detergent
and replace all screens before restarting the unit. Observe
the flow direction arrows on the side of each filter frame.
Economizer Inlet Air Screen
This air screen is retained by spring clips under the top
edge of the hood. (See Fig. 3.)
