important to keep the wheels clean in
order to avoid imbalance and vibra-
tion.
Motor

following methods.
• Cleaning with low pressure com-
pressed air.
• Flushing or rinsing with water (a
detergent is advisable for greasy sur-
faces).
Drain Piping
The drain should always be:
• Connected or piped to an accept-
able disposal point sloped away from
the unit at least 1/8" per foot
• Checked before summer operation
• Periodically checked during sum-
mer operation
Preventative Maintenance
