    check the fan blades for cracks or loose rivits. clean them if needed
    there are some steel parts that if showing signs of rust should be wire brushed and touched up with rustolium paint



    I'm not sure there is a condensate pan on a basement air----condensate water just falls on the ground.
    X-2 this is how mine works!
  • X2 on checking the rubber drain. It has a rubber tab on the bottom, just wiggle the tab back and forth.
