Warnings and Cautions
WARNING
R410-A Refrigerant under Higher Pressure than R-22!
The units described in this manual use R410-A refrigerant which operates at 50 to 70%
higher pressures than R-22. Use only R-410A approved service equipment. Refrigerant
cylinders are painted with "pink" color to indicate the type of refrigerant and may contain
a "dip" tube to allow for charging of liquid refrigerant into the system. For specific handling
concerns with R-410A, please contact your local sales office.
Failure to use R-410A approved service equipment could result in standard equipment
exploding under R-410A higher pressure which could result in death or serious injury.
NOTICE
Use appropriate oil with R410A systems. Oil type is found at the bottom of Connection Pipe
Requirements table (included in the outdoor unit installation manual). R-410A systems
utilize POE (Polyolester) or PVE (Polyvinyl Ether) oil. Both oil types absorb moisture readily,
yet, lubrication properties vary. Do not leave the sealed system open to atmosphere except
during service for a short period of time. If the sealed system is left open longer than four
hours, the compressor oil must be changed.These systems utilize strainers placed before
and after the expansion device in the outdoor unit, if debris or moisture is suspected, these
strainers must be changed. Do not break a vacuum with air. Do not leak check the sealed
system with compressed air. Unless instructed by factory service representative, external
refrigeration driers are prohibited.
USE ONLY THE FACTORY RECOMMENDED OIL TYPE!
Important!
Environmental Concerns
Scientific research has shown that certain man-made chemicals can affect the earth's naturally occurring
stratospheric ozone layer when released to the atmosphere. In particular, several of the identified chemicals that
may affect the ozone layer are refrigerants that contain chlorofluorocarbons (CFC's) and those containing hydro-
chlorofluorocarbons (HCFC's). Not all refrigerants containing these compounds have the same potential impact
to the environment.The Company advocates the responsible handling of all refrigerants, including industry
replacements for CFC's such as HCFC's and HFC's.
Responsible Refrigerant Practices
The manufacturer believes that responsible refrigerant practices are important to the environment, our
customers, and the air conditioning industry. All technicians who handle refrigerants must be certified.The
Federal Clean Air Act (Section 608) sets forth the requirements for handling, reclaiming, recovering and recycling
of certain refrigerants and the equipment that is used in these service procedures. In addition, some states or
municipalities may have additional requirements that must also be adhered to for responsible management of
refrigerants. Know the applicable laws and follow them.

Protective Equipment (PPE) and gear for height related safety should be worn during installation.
Improper personal safety precautions and installation may cause death or serious injury.
2. Install the air conditioner according to the instructions given in this manual. Incomplete installation
work may cause water leakage, electrical shock or fire.
3. Use the supplied or specified installation parts. Use of other parts may cause the unit to come
loose, resulting in water leakage, electrical shock or fire.
4. Install the unit in a location that can support the weight of the unit. An inadequate support
structure or incomplete installation may cause injury or property damage in the event the unit falls
off of the installation location. Refer to the installation specifications for additional requirements.
5. Electrical work should be carried out in accordance with the installation manual and local, state
and National Electric Code (NEC). Insufficient capacity or incomplete electrical work may cause
electrical shock or fire.
6. Use a dedicated power circuit. Never use a power supply shared by another appliance.
7. For wiring, use a cable that is long enough to cover the entire distance without splicing. Do not
use an extension cord. Do not put other loads on the power supply; use a dedicated power circuit.
Failure to do so may cause abnormal heat, electric shock or fire.
8. Use the specified types of wires for electrical connections between the indoor and outdoor units.
Firmly clamp the interconnecting wires so their terminals receive no external stresses. Incomplete
connections or clamping may cause terminal overheating or fire.
9. After joining the interconnecting and supply wiring, shape the cables so that they do not put
undue force on the electrical covers or panels. Install covers over the wires. Incomplete cover
installation may cause terminal overheating, electrical shock, or fire.
10. If any refrigerant leaks out during the installation, ventilate the room. The refrigerant produces a
toxic gas if exposed to flames.
11. When installing or relocating the system, keep the refrigerant circuit free from substances
other than the specified refrigerant (R410-A), such as air. The presence of air or other foreign
substances in the refrigerant circuit can cause an abnormal pressure rise or rupture, which could
result in injury and damage.

12. If a system pump-down is performed, turn off the associated equipment and close service valves
prior to removing the refrigerant piping. Failure to do so will introduce non-condensables in the
system, causing abnormal pressure in the refrigeration cycle which could lead to injury and
damage.
13. Before system start-up, attach the refrigerant piping securely. Failure to do so will introduce non-
condensables into the system when the compressor is running, causing abnormal pressure in the
refrigeration cycle which could lead to injury and damage.
14. Establish a complete ground. Do not ground the unit to a utility pipe, arrester, or telephone
ground. An incomplete ground may cause electrical shock, or fire. A high surge current from
lightning or other sources may cause damage to the air conditioner.
15. If the power supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent
or another qualified professional in order to avoid electrical risk during and after replacement.

Refrigerant Piping Precautions
Nitrogen Purging While Brazing
WARNING
Hazard of Explosion and Deadly Gases!
Failure to follow all proper safe refrigerant handling practices could result in death or
serious injury. Never solder, braze or weld on refrigerant pipes or any unit components
that are above atmospheric pressure or where refrigerant may be present. Always
remove refrigerant by following the guidelines established by the EPA Federal Clean
Air Act or other state or local codes as appropriate. After refrigerant removal, use
dry nitrogen to bring system back to atmospheric pressure before opening system
for repairs. Mixtures of refrigerants and air under pressure may become combustible
in the presence of an ignition source leading to an explosion. Excessive heat from
soldering, brazing or welding with refrigerant vapors present can form highly toxic
gases and extremely corrosive acids.
NOTICE
System Component Damage!
Do not remove the seal caps from the refrigerant connections and piping until prepared
to braze refrigerant pipes to the connections. Excessive exposure to atmosphere
(greater than 5 minutes) may allow moisture or other particulates to contaminate the
system, damaging valve seals and causing ice formation in the system components
during operation.
