REPAIR PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Routine servicing, apart from visual checks, is not
necessary. The visual inspections are as follows:
Condenser
With a water hose or air line, clean the fins of the
condenser to remove flies, leaves, etc. Check the pipe
connections for signs of oil leakage.
Compressor
Check pipe connections for signs of oil leakage.
Check flexible hoses for swelling. Examine the
compressor belt for tightness and condition.
Sight glass and Receiver/Drier
Examine the sight glass for bubbles with the system
operating. Check connections for leakage.
Evaporator
Examine the refrigeration connections at the unit. If
the system should develop a fault, or if erratic
operation is noticed,
