It is highly recommended that you do not open or close
the stop valves when the outdoor temperature is below
-5°F (-21°C) as this may cause refrigerant leakage.
Make sure power is turned on for at least 12 hours
after periods of being powered down in an 32 °F (0° C)
environment or lower.
Do not touch the fins of the coil. Touching the coil fins
could result in damage to the fins or personal injury such
as skin rupture.
Ensure the power circuit capacity is adequate for all loads
connected to the electrical service panel. Increase the
conductor and panel capacity if the total electrical loads
exceed the power source capacity.
Contact the power utility if the power provided is below
equipment rating plate requirements.
Be sure to install a breaker of the specified capacity.
Regulation of cables and breaker differs from each
locality, refer in accordance with local rules.
Do not use existing refrigerant lines.
Use refrigerant tubing that is clean and free of any
contamination which may cause damage to the system
including sulfur, copper oxide, dust, metal chips, powder,
oil or water.
Avoid brazing lines together. Use a continuous length of
copper tubing as oxides formed during improper brazing
techniques can damage the equipment.
Do not use copper pipes that have a collapsed, deformed,
or discolored portion (especially on the interior surface).
Otherwise, the expansion valve or capillary tube may
become blocked with contaminants.
Improper line sizing will degrade performance. Peak
pressure of R410A is much higher than R22. Use copper
tubing with adequate wall thickness.
To prevent breaking of the pipe, avoid sharp bends. Bend
the pipe with a radius of curvature of 4 in. (100 mm ) or
more.
If the pipe is bent repeatedly at the same place, it will
break.
CAUTION
• Aluminum electrical wiring may present special
problems - consult a qualified electrician.
• When the unit is in the STOP position, there is still
voltage to the electrical controls.
CAUTION
