WARNING
To prevent personal injury, as well as damage to
panels, unit or structure, observe the following:
While installing or servicing this unit, carefully stow
all removed panels so that the panels will not cause
injury to personnel, objects or nearby structures.
Also, take care to store panels where they will not be
subject to damage (e.g., being bent or scratched).
While handling or stowing the panels, consider any
weather conditions (especially wind) that may
cause panels to be blown around and damaged.
CAUTION
As with any mechanical equipment, contact with
sharp sheet metal edges can result in personal
injury. Take care while handling this equipment and
use protective clothing.
CAUTION
Before attempting to perform any service or mainte
nance, turn the electrical power to unit OFF at dis
connect switch.
NOTICE !
Roof Damage!
This system contains both refrigerant and oil. Some
rubber roofing material may absorb oil, causing the
rubber to degrade. Failure to follow this notice
could result in damage to roof surface.
IMPORTANT !
Exhaust vents from dryers, water heaters and
furnaces should be directed away from the outdoor
unit. Prolonged exposure to exhaust gases and the
chemicals contained within them may cause
condensation to form on the steel cabinet and other
metal components of the outdoor unit. This will
diminish unit performance and longevity.

STEP 2 – REFRIGERANT PIPING –
Flushing Existing Line Set & Indoor Coil
Flush the existing line set per industry standards. For
more information, refer to the XCZ20 Installation and
Service Procedures manual available on
LennoxPros.com. CAUTION - DO NOT attempt to flush
and re-use existing line sets or indoor coil when the
system contains contaminants (i.e., compressor burn
out).
WARNING
Refrigerant can be harmful if it is inhaled. Refrigerant
must be used and recovered responsibly.
Failure to follow this warning may result in personal
injury or death.
WARNING
Polyol ester (POE) oils used with HFC-410A refrigerant
absorb moisture very quickly. It is very important that
the refrigerant system be kept closed as much as
possible. DO NOT remove line set caps or service valve
stub caps until you are ready to make connections.

Page 4
IMPORTANT !
If this unit is being matched with an approved line set or
indoor unit coil that was previously charged with mineral
oil, or if it is being matched with a coil which was manu
factured before January of 1999, the coil and line set
must be flushed prior to installation. Take care to empty
all existing traps. Polyol ester (POE) oils are used in Len
nox units charged with HFC-410A refrigerant. Residual
mineral oil can act as an insulator, preventing proper
heat transfer. It can also clog the expansion device and
reduce system performance and capacity.
Failure to properly flush the system per the XCZ20 Instal
lation and Service Procedures will void the warranty.
WARNING
When using a high-pressure gas such as
nitrogen to pressurize a refrigeration or
air conditioning system, use a regulator
that can control the pressure down to 1 or
2 psig (6.9 to 13.8 kPa).
WARNING
Fire, Explosion and Personal Safety Haz
ard. Failure to follow this warning could
result in damage, personal injury or
death.
Never use oxygen to pressurize or purge
refrigeration lines. Oxygen, when ex
posed to a spark or open flame, can cause
fire and/or an explosion, that could result
in property damage, personal injury or
death.
IMPORTANT !
Some scroll compressors have an internal vacuum
protector that will unload scrolls when suction pres
sure goes below 20 psig. A hissing sound will be heard
when the compressor is running unloaded. Protector
will reset when low pressure in system is raised above
40 psig. DO NOT REPLACE COMPRESSOR.
IMPORTANT !
If unit is equipped with a crankcase heater, and outdoor
ambient temperature is below 60°F, unit should be ener
gized 24 hours before startup to prevent compressor
damage as a result of slugging.
The XCZ20 is a variable capacity cooling system utilizing
variable speed compressor technology. With the variable
speed compressor and variable pumping capacity, addi
tional consideration must be given to refrigerant piping siz
ing and application. The guidelines below are to be used
exclusively for the XCZ20 systems.

STEP 3 -- INSTALLING INDOOR EXPANSION VALVE
This outdoor unit is designed for use in systems that include an expansion valve metering device. See the XCZ20 Product
Specifications bulletin (EHB) for approved expansion valve kit match-ups and application information. The expansion valve
can be installed internal or external to the indoor coil. In applications where an uncased coil is being installed in a field-pro
vided plenum, install the expansion valve in a manner that provides access for future field service of the expansion valve.
Refer to following illustration for reference during installation of expansion valve.
A. Attach the vapor line sensing bulb in the proper
orientation (illustrated below) using the clamp and
screws provided.
NOTE - Confirm proper thermal contact between vapor
line and expansion valve sensing bulb before insulating
the sensing bulb once installed.

CONNECT GAUGE SET
A. Connect the high-pressure hose of an HFC-410A manifold gauge set to the vapor valve service port.
NOTE - Normally, the high-pressure hose is connected to the liquid line port. However, connecting it
to the vapor port better protects the manifold gauge set from high-pressure damage.
B. With both manifold valves closed, connect the cylinder of HFC-410A refrigerant to the center port of
the manifold gauge set.
NOTE - Later in the procedure, the HFC-410A container will be replaced by the nitrogen container.
TEST FOR LEAKS
After the line set has been connected to the indoor and outdoor units, check the line set connections
and indoor unit for leaks. Use the following procedure to test for leaks:
A. With both manifold valves closed, connect the cylinder of HFC-410A refrigerant to the center port of
the manifold gauge set. Open the valve on the HFC-410A cylinder (vapor only).
B. Open the high-pressure side of the manifold to allow HFC-410A into the line set and indoor unit.
Weigh in a trace amount of HFC-410A. [A trace amount is a maximum of two ounces (57 g) refriger
ant or three pounds (31 kPa) pressure.] Close the valve on the HFC-410A cylinder and the valve on
the high-pressure side of the manifold gauge set. Disconnect the HFC-410A cylinder.
C. Connect a cylinder of nitrogen with a pressure regulating valve to the center port of the manifold
gauge set.
D. Adjust nitrogen pressure to 150 psig (1034 kPa). Open the valve on the high side of the manifold gauge
set in order to pressurize the line set and the indoor unit.
E. After a few minutes, open one of the service valve ports and verify that the refrigerant added to the
system earlier is measurable with a leak detector.
F. After leak testing, disconnect gauges from service ports.
