GENERAL INFORMATION
Read the following instructionscompletely before
performing the installation.
Outdoor Unit Section -- Each outdoor unit
is shipped with a refrigerant charge adequate
to operate the outdoor section with an indoor
matching coil or air handler. Units with braze
connections include the proper amount of
refrigerant for an additional 15 ft. of refrigerant
lines the same size as the valve fittings.
NOTE: DO NOT USE ANY PORTION OF
THE CHARGE FOR PURGING OR LEAK
TESTING.
Matching coils and air handlers may be shipped
with a small holding charge to pressurize them to
keep out contaminants.To release the pressure,
read the indoor section installation instructions
carefully.
Liquid and Suction Lines -- Fully annealed,
refrigerant grade copper tubing should be used
when installing the system. Refrigerant suction
line tubing should be fully insulated.
Field Connections for Electrical Power
Supply -- All wiring must comply with current
provisions of the "National Electrical Code"
(ANSI/NFPA 70) and with applicable local
codes having jurisdiction. The minimum size of
electrical conductors and circuit protection must
be in compliance with information listed on the
outdoor unit data label.
SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Pressures within the System -- Split
system heat pump equipment contains liquid
and gaseous refrigerant under pressure.
Installation and servicing of this equipment
should be accomplished by qualified, trained
personnel thoroughly familiar with this type of
equipment. Under no circumstances should the

connections when removing from the carton.
inspect for Damage -- Inspect the equipment
for damage prior to installing the equipment at
the job site. Ensure coil fins are straight and, if
necessary, comb fins to remove flattened and
bent fins.
Preferred Location of the Outdoor Unit at the
Job Site -- Conduct a survey of the job site to
determine the optimum location for mounting
the outdoor unit. Overhead obstructions,
poorly ventilated areas, and areas subject to
accumulation of debris should be avoided. The
outdoor unit should be installed no closer than
18 inches from the outside walls of the facility
and in an area free from overhead obstructions
to ensure unrestricted airflow through the
outdoor unit.
Facility Prerequisites -- Electrical power
supplied must be adequate for proper operation
of the equipment.The system must be wired and
provided with circuit protection in accordance
with local building codes and the National
Electrical Code.
