Never operate a furnace with filter or filtrationdevice access doors removed.! WARNINGNOTE: If the filter has an airflow direction arrow, the arrow mustpoint toward the blower.To clean or replace filters, proceed as follows:ELECTRICAL SHOCK, FIRE OR EXPLOSIONHAZARDFailure to follow this warning could result in personalinjury or death, or property damage.Before installing, modifying, or servicing system, mainelectrical disconnect switch must be in the OFF position andinstall a lockout tag. There may be more than onedisconnect switch. Lock out and tag switch with a suitablewarning label. Verify proper operation after servicing.! WARNING1. Turn off electrical supply to furnace.2. Remove filter cabinet door.3. Slide filter out of cabinet.4. If equipped with permanent, washable filter, clean filter byspraying cold tap water through filter in opposite directionof airflow. Rinse filter and let dry. Oiling or coating of thefilter is not recommended.5. If equipped with factory specified disposable media filter,replace only with a factory specified media filter of the samesize.6. Slide filter into cabinet.7. Replace filter cabinet door.8. Turn on electrical supply to furnace.Blower Motor and Wheel MaintenanceTo ensure long life, economy, and high efficiency, cleanaccumulated dirt and grease from blower wheel and motorannually.The inducer and blower motors are pre--lubricated and require noadditional lubrication. These motors can be identified by theabsence of oil ports on each end of the motor.The following items should be performed by a qualified servicetechnician. Clean blower motor and wheel as follows:1. Turn off electrical supply to furnace.2. Remove blower door.3. All factory wires can be left connected, but field thermostatand accessory wiring may need to be disconnected depend-ing on their length and routing.4. If the vent and combustion air pipe passes through theblower compartment, it will be necessary to remove thepipes from the blower compartment.Disconnect the vent and combustion air pipe by:a. Loosen the clamps on the vent couplings and combustionair pipe external to the furnace.b. Separate the pipes from the couplings and move themaside.c. Loosen the clamps on the vent couplings and combustionair pipe located on the blower shelf.d. Separate the pipes from the blower compartment and setaside.e. Remove the couplings from the pipe adapters and set aside.f. After servicing the blower, reverse steps a through e.g. Tighten all clamps 15 lb --in.See Fig. 67 for steps 5 through 14.5. Remove screws securing blower assembly to blower shelfand slide blower assembly out of furnace. Detach groundwire and disconnect blower motor harness plugs fromblower motor.NOTE: Blower wheel is fragile. Use care.6. Clean blower wheel and motor by using a vacuum with softbrush attachment. Be careful not to disturb balance weights(clips) on blower wheel vanes. Do not bend wheel or bladesas balance will be affected.7. If greasy residue is present on blower wheel, remove wheelfrom the blower housing and wash it with an appropriatedegreaser. To remove wheel:a. Mark blower wheel location on shaft before disassemblyto ensure proper reassembly.b. Loosen setscrew holding blower wheel on motor shaft.NOTE: Mark blower mounting arms and blower housing so eacharm is positioned at the same hole location during reassembly.c. Mark blower wheel orientation and cutoff plate location toensure proper reassembly.d. Remove screws securing cutoff plate and remove cutoffplate from housing.e. Remove bolts holding motor mounts to blower housingand slide motor and mounts out of housing.f. Remove blower wheel from housing.g. Clean wheel per instructions on degreaser cleaner. Do notget degreaser in motor.8. Reassemble motor and blower wheel by reversing items 7bthrough 7f. Ensure wheel is positioned for proper rotation.9. Torque motor mounting bolts to 40 +/-- 10 lb--in. when re-assembling.10. Torque blower wheel set screw to 160 +/-- 20 lb--in. whenreassembling.59SC2C
