ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

Warning: 

 When  possible, disconnect  all  power to the  unit and

follow  t

he prescribed lock

 

-

 out/tag - out  procedure  to  prevent 

accidental 

 

electrocution. 

 

Should 

 the  unit  have  to be serviced 

with live electricity, only trained and

 qualified technicians should

 

carry out the service.

 

Failure to 

follow all of the safety warnings 

may result in serious injury or 

death.

The temperature-pressure relief valve must be manually operated 

at least once a year. Caution should be taken to ensure that (1) 

no  one  is  in  front  of  or  around  the  outlet  of  the  temperature-

pressure relief valve discharge line, and (2) the water manually 

discharged will not cause any bodily injury or property damage 

because  the  water  may  be  extremely  hot.  If  after  manually 

operating the valve, it fails to completely reset and continues to 

release water, immediately close the cold water inlet to the heat 

pump, follow the draining instructions in the storage tank manual, 

and replace the temperature-pressure relief valve with a properly 

rated/sized new one. 
If you do not understand these instructions or have any questions 

regarding the temperature-pressure relief valve call the toll free 

number  listed  on  the  back  cover  of  this  manual  for  technical 

assistance.

 

AIR FILTERS

Note: If return duct is connected to the unit, be sure to install a 

filter access door.
Initially, check filters on a monthly basis for dust buildup. Replace 

throw-away cotton media filters when necessary with new filters. 

Make sure the arrows on the filter are pointing in the direction of 

the air flow.
An  aluminum  mesh  filter  should  be  used  for  applications  with 

significant grease or dust buildup. To clean, wash under a stream 

of hot water to remove the dirt and lint. To remove grease, apply 

a grease cutting soap and thoroughly rinse. Allow the filter to dry. 

Reinstall the filter.

DRAIN PAN

Warning: Read all of the warnings on the bottle of the cleaning 

products used for drain pan cleaning. Follow all instructions for 

personal protection and safe application of the products.  Before 

cleaning the drain pan, disconnect all power to the unit and follow 

the prescribed lock-out/tag-out procedure.
The  condensate  pan  and  drain  line  must  be  checked  for 

cleanliness, growth and blockage at least every six months.
To clean drain pan, start by disconnecting the power to the unit. 

Wear the appropriate personal protective equipment prescribed 

by the cleaning product instructions. Apply the cleaning solution 

and scour the sides of and bottom of the drain pan. Remove all 

large solid particles that could potentially clog up the drain line. 

If  algae  or  mold  are  found  growing  in  the  pan,  after  cleaning, 

apply a mild bleach and water solution and brush on the growth 

areas. Rinse the drain pan thoroughly with water and dry for a 

final visual inspection.

BLOWER ASSEMBLY

Before  performing  any  maintenance  on  the  blower  assembly, 

disconnect all power to the unit and follow the prescribed lock-

out/tag-out procedure.

Inspect and tighten all bearing collar and wheel set screws after 

the  first  50  to  200  hours  of  operation  and  there  after,  at  least 

every six months. During inspection, visually check the drive belt 

for wear or cracking. Replace as necessary, but do not apply any 

belt dressing products.
Inspect  all  set  screws  on  the  pulleys,  wheel  and  bearing  lock 

collars. Check the belt for proper tension and alignment.
Clean the blower wheel periodically as material buildup on the 

blades can cause a wheel imbalance that may lead to wheel or 

bearing failure.
The pillow block bearings come pre-lubricated from the factory. 

These  bearings  should  be  lubricated  at  least  once  per  year. 

The recommended lubricant is Shell Alvania #2 or S3. Caution: 

overfilling  the  bearing  my  rupture  the  seal  and  damage  the 

bearing.  Apply  the  grease  slowly  as  the  shaft  is  rotating. 

Motor  grease  is  not  compatible  for  bearings.  Only  use  grease 

designated for bearing use.

BLOWER MOTOR

Warning:  before  performing  any  maintenance  on  the  blower 

motor, disconnect all power to the unit and follow the prescribed 

lock-out/tag-out procedure.
Every six months visually inspect the blower motor. Clean off any 

dust, grease or oily buildup and vacuum out any cavities in the 

motor. It may be necessary to periodically disassemble the motor 

for a more thorough internal cleaning.
Motors  are  permanently  lubricated  from  the  factory.  It  is  not 

necessary  to  lubricate  the  motor  upon  start-up  or  lubricate  as 

part of maintenance.

EVAPORATOR COIL

Warning:  Read  all  of  the  warnings  provided  for  the  cleaning 

products  used  for  refrigeration  coil  cleaning.  Follow  all 

instructions  for  personal  protection  and  safe  application  of  the 

products. 

 

Before 

 

cleaning 

 evaporator

,  disconnect 

 

all 

 

power 

to the unit and follow the prescribed lock-out/tag-out procedure.
Inspect the evaporator coil for dirt buildup or fin crush on at least 

once per year. If there are signs of fin fold over, use a fin comb 

to straighten the fins. Should the coils need cleaning, follow the 

steps listed below:
1.  Disconnect  all  power  to  the  unit  and  follow  the  prescribed 

lock-out/tag-out procedure.

2.  Wear  the  prescribed  personal  protective  equipment 

prescribed from the cleaning product instructions.

3.  Install a block-off sheet to prevent splash over into the dry 

sections of the AWH HPWH.

4.  Prepare the cleaning solution as prescribed from the cleaning 

product instructions and fill the mixture into a high-pressure 

sprayer.

5.  Start  spraying  both  sides  of  the  coil  keeping  the  nozzle 

perpendicular to the coil at least 6 inches from the coil face. 

Do not exceed 600 psi.

6.  Thoroughly rinse the cleaned coil with cool, clean water.
7.  Straighten out any fins displaced during the cleaning using 

a fin comb.

8.  Confirm the drain pan line is not clogged.
9.  Replace all panels on the unit and wipe down any standing 

cleaning solution or water on or around the unit.
