Safe Refrigerant Handling
While these items will not cover every conceivable situation,
theyshould serve as a useful guide.
To avoid possible injury, explosion or death, practice
safe handling of refrigerants.
WARNING
Refrigerants are heavier thanair. They can "push out"
the oxygen in your lungs or in any enclosed space. To
avoid possible difficulty in breathing or death:
Never purge refrigerant into anenclosed room or
space. By law, all refrigerants must be reclaimed.
If an indoor leak is suspected, thoroughly ventilate the
area before beginning work.
• Liquid refrigerant can be very cold. To avoid possible
frostbite or blindness, avoid contact and wear gloves
and goggles. Ifliquidrefrigerant doescontactyour
skin or eyes, seek medical help immediately.
• Always follow EPAregulations. Never burn refrigerant,
as poisonous gas will be produced.
•
•
To avoid possible explosion:
• Never apply flame or steam to a refrigerant cylinder.
If you must heat a cylinder for faster charging,
partially immerse it in warm water.
• Never fill a cylinder more than 80% full of liquid re-
frigerant.
• Never add anything other than R-22 to an R-22 cy-
linder or R-410A to an R-410A cylinder. The service
equipment used must be listed or certified for the
type of refrigerant used.
• Store cylinders in a cool, dry place. Never use a cy-
linder as a platform or a roller.
WARNING

3
To avoid possible explosion, use only returnable (not
disposable) service cylinders when removing refrigerant
from a system.
• Ensure the cylinder is free of damage which could lead to
a leak or explosion.
• Ensure the hydrostatic test date does not exceed 5 years.
• Ensure the pressure rating meets or exceeds 400 PSIG.
When in doubt, do not use cylinder.
Refrigerant Lines
The compressor POE oil for R-410A units is extremely
susceptible to moisture absorption and could cause
compressor failure. Do not leave system open to atmos-
phere any longer than necessary for installation.
CAUTION
Useonly refrigerantgrade(dehydrated andsealed)copper tub-
ingtoconnectthecondensingunitwiththeindoorevaporator.
Aftercuttingthetubing, install plugs to keep refrigerant tubing
clean and dry prior to and during installation. Tubing should
alwaysbecutsquarekeepingendsround and free from burrs.
Cleanthetubingtopreventcontamination.
DoNOTletrefrigerantlinescome in direct contact with plumb-
ing,ductwork, floor joists, wall studs, floors, and walls. When
runningrefrigerantlines throughafoundationorwall, openings
should allow for sound and vibration absorbing material to be
placed or installed between tubing and foundation. Any gap
betweenfoundationorwallandrefrigerantlinesshouldbefilled
withapliablesilicon-basedcaulk,RTVor a vibration damping
material. Avoid suspending refrigerant tubing from joists and
studs with rigid wire or straps that would come in contact with
thetubing.Useaninsulatedorsuspensiontypehanger.Keep
both lines separate and always insulate the suction line.
These sizes are recommended for line lengths of 79 feet or
less to obtain optimum performance. For alternate line sizing
options or runs of more than 79 feet, refer to Remote Cooling
ServiceManual,orTP-107Long Line Set ApplicationR-410A,
or contact your distributor for assistance.

Insulationisnecessary to prevent condensation from forming
and dropping from the suction line. Armflex (or satisfactory
equivalent) with 3/8” min. wall thickness is recommended. In
severeconditions(hot,highhumidityareas)1/2”insulationmay
be required. Insulation must be installed in a manner which
protectstubingfromdamageandcontamination.
Where possible, drain as much residual compressor oil from
existing systems, lines, and traps; pay close attention to low
areas where oil may collect. NOTE: If changing refrigerant
types, ensure the indoor coil and metering device is compat-
ible with the type of refrigerant being used; otherwise, the in-
door coil must be replaced.
Burying Refrigerant Lines
Ifburyingrefrigerant linescannotbe avoided,usethefollowing
checklist.
1. Insulate liquid and suction lines separately.
2. Enclose all underground portions of the refrigerant lines
inwaterproof material (conduitor pipe) sealing the ends
wheretubingenters/exits the enclosure.
3. If the lines must pass under or through a concrete slab,
ensurelinesareadequatelyprotectedandsealed.

IMPORTANT
Toavoidoverheatingtheservicevalve,TXVvalve,orfilter
drierwhilebrazing, wrap thecomponentwithawetrag, or
use a thermal heat trap compound. Be sure to follow the
manufacturer’s instruction when using the heat trap
compound.Note:Remove Schrader valves from service
valves before brazing tubes to the valves. Use a brazing
alloy of 2% minimum silver content. Do not use flux.
Torch heat required to braze tubes of various sizes is
proportionaltothesize of the tube. Tubes of smaller size
requirelessheattobringthetubetobrazingtemperature
before adding brazing alloy. Applying too much heat to
any tube can melt the tube. Service personnel must use
the appropriate heat level for the size of the tube being
brazed. Note: The use of a heat shield when brazing is
recommendedto avoidburningtheserialplateorthefinish
on the unit.
1. Theendsof the refrigerant lines must becutsquare, de-
burred,cleaned,andberoundandfreefromnicksordents.
Anyotherconditionincreasesthechanceofarefrigerant
leak.
2. “Sweep”therefrigerantline withnitrogenorinert gasdur-
ing brazing to prevent the formation of copper-oxide in-
side the refrigerant lines. The POE oils used in R-410A
applicationswillcleananycopper-oxide present from the
insideoftherefrigerant lines andspreaditthroughoutthe
system. This may cause a blockage or failure of the me-
teringdevice.
3. After brazing, quench the joints with water or a wet cloth
topreventoverheatingoftheservice valve.
4. Ensure the filter drier paint finish is intact after brazing. If
thepaintofthesteelfilterdrierhasbeenburnedorchipped,
repaintortreatwith a rustpreventative. Thisisespecially
important on suction line filter driers which are continu-
ally wet when the unit is operating.
NOTE: Becarefulnottokinkordent refrigerant lines. Kinked
or dented lines will cause poor performance or compressor
damage.
Do NOT make final refrigerant line connection until plugs are
removedfromrefrigeranttubing.
NOTE: Before brazing, verify indoor piston size by checking
the piston kit chart packaged with indoor unit.
Leak Testing (Nitrogen or Nitrogen-Traced)
To avoid the risk of fire or explosion, never use
oxygen, high pressure air or flammable gases for leak
testing of a refrigeration system.
WARNING
To avoid possible explosion, the line from the
nitrogen cylinder must include a pressure regulator
and a pressure relief valve. The pressure relief valve
must be set to open at no more than 150 psig.
WARNING
Pressure test the system using dry nitrogen and soapy water
to locate leaks. If you wish to use a leak detector, charge the
system to 10 psi using the appropriate refrigerant then use
nitrogentofinish chargingthesystemtoworking pressurethen
apply the detector to suspect areas. If leaks are found, repair
them. After repair, repeat the pressure test. If no leaks exist,
proceedtosystemevacuation.
System Evacuation
Condensingunitliquid andsuctionvalvesare closedtocontain
the charge within the unit. The unit is shipped with the valve
stems closed and caps installed. Do not open valves until
the system is evacuated.
REFRIGERANT UNDER PRESSURE!
Failure to follow proper procedures may cause
property damage, personal injury or death.
NOTE: Scrollcompressorsshouldneverbeusedtoevacuate
or pump down a heat pump or air conditioning system.
Prolonged operation at suction pressures less than 20
psig for more than 5 seconds will result in overheating of
the scrolls and permanent damage to the scroll tips, drive
bearings and internal seal.
CAUTION
1. Connectthevacuum pump with 250 micron capability to
theservicevalves.
2. Evacuate the system to 250 microns or less using suc-
tion and liquid service valves. Using both valves is nec-
essary as some compressors create a mechanical seal
separating the sides of the system.
3. Closepump valveandholdvacuumfor 10minutes. Typi-
cally pressure will rise during this period.

unlessthere is a gross undercharge.
NOTE: Check the Schrader ports for leaks and tighten valve
cores if necessary. Install caps finger-tight.
Heat Pump - Heating Cycle
Thepropermethodof charging a heat pump in the heatmode
is by weight with the additional charge adjustments for line
size, line length, and other system components. For best
results,onoutdoorunitswith TXVs, superheat should be 2-5°
at4-6"fromthecompressor. Make final chargeadjustmentsin
the cooling cycle.

AIRCONDITIONINGANDHEAT PUMPHOMEOWNER’S ROUTINE MAINTENANCERECOMMENDATIONS
We strongly recommend a bi-annual maintenance checkup be performed
before the heating and cooling seasons begin by a qualified servicer.
Replace or Clean Filter
IMPORTANTNOTE: Neveroperateunitwithoutafilterinstalled
as dust and lint will build up on internal parts resulting in loss
ofefficiency,equipmentdamageandpossiblefire.
An indoor air filter must be used with your comfort system. A
properlymaintainedfilterwillkeeptheindoorcoilofyourcom-
fortsystemclean.Adirtycoil could cause poor operation and/
orsevereequipment damage.
Your air filter or filters could be located in your furnace, in a
blower unit, or in “filter grilles” in your ceiling or walls. The
installerofyourair conditionerorheatpumpcantell you where
your filter(s) are, and how to clean or replace them.
Check your filter(s) at least once a month. When they are
dirty,replaceorcleanasrequired.Disposabletypefiltersshould
bereplaced. Reusable type filtersmay be cleaned.
You may want to ask your dealer about high efficiency filters.
Highefficiencyfiltersare available in both electronic and non-
electronic types. These filters can do a better job of catching
smallairborneparticles.
Compressor
The compressor motor is hermetically sealed and does not
requireadditionaloiling.
Motors
Indoorandoutdoorfan motors are permanentlylubricatedand
donotrequireadditionaloiling.
Clean Outside Coil (Qualified Servicer Only)
Air must be able to flow through the outdoor unit of your com-
fort system. Do not construct a fence near the unit or build a
deck or patio over the unit without first discussing your plans
withyour dealeror other qualified servicer. Restrictedairflow
couldleadtopooroperationand/orsevereequipmentdamage.
Likewise, it is important to keep the outdoor coil clean. Dirt,
leaves, or debris could also restrict the airflow. If cleaning of
theoutdoorcoilbecomesnecessary, hire a qualified servicer.
Inexperienced people could easily puncture the tubing in the
coil. Even a small hole in the tubing could eventually cause a
large loss of refrigerant. Loss of refrigerant can cause poor
operationand/orsevere equipmentdamage.
Do not use a condensing unit cover to “protect” the outdoor
unit during the winter, unless you first discuss it with your
dealer.Anycoverusedmustinclude“breathable”fabrictoavoid
moisturebuildup.
•Check the thermostat to confirm that it is properly set.
•Wait15minutes.Some devices in the outdoor unit or in
programmablethermostatswillpreventcompressor op-
eration for awhile, and then reset automatically. Also,
some power companies will install devices which shut
off air conditioners for several minutes on hot days. If
you wait several minutes, the unit may begin operation
on its own.
T O AVOID THE RISK OF EQUIPMENT DAMAGE OR FIRE , INSTALL
THE
SAME AMPERAGE BREAKER OR FUSE AS YOU ARE
REPLACING
. I F THE CIRCUIT BREAKER OR FUSE SHOULD OPEN
AGAIN
WITHIN THIRTY DAYS , CONTACT A QUALIFIED SERVICER
TO
CORRECT THE PROBLEM .

YOU RUN THE RISK OF SEVERE EQUIPMENT DAMAGE .
BEFORE CALLING YOUR SERVICER
•Check the electrical panel for tripped circuit breakers
orfailedfuses.Resetthecircuitbreakersorreplacefuses
as necessary.
•Checkthedisconnectswitchnear the indoor furnace or
blower to confirm that it is closed.
•Checkforobstructionson the outdoor unit.Confirmthat
ithasnotbeencoveredon the sides or the top.Remove
any obstruction that can be safely removed. If the unit
is covered with dirt or debris, call a qualified servicer to
clean it.
•Check for blockage of the indoor air inlets and outlets.
Confirm that they are open and have not been blocked
byobjects (rugs, curtains or furniture).
•Check the filter. If it is dirty, clean or replace it.
•Listenforanyunusualnoise(s),other than normal oper-
atingnoise,thatmightbe coming from the outdoor unit.
Ifyouhearunusualnoise(s)comingfrom the unit, call a
qualifiedservicer.
