Section 1. Safety
WARNING
!
This information is intended for use by individuals
possessing adequate backgrounds of electrical and
mechanical experience. Any attempt to repair a central
air conditioning product may result in personal injury
and/or property damage. The manufacture or seller
cannot be responsible for the interpretation of this
information, nor can it assume any liability in connec-
tion with its use.
These units use R-410A refrigerant which operates
at 50 to 70% higher pressures than R-22. Use only
R-410A approved service equipment. Refrigerant
cylinders are painted a “Rose” color to indicate the
type of refrigerant and may contain a “dip” tube to
allow for charging of liquid refrigerant into the sys-
tem. All R-410A systems use a POE oil that readily
absorbs moisture from the atmosphere. To limit this
“hygroscopic” action, the system should remain sealed
whenever possible. If a system has been open to the
atmosphere for more than 4 hours, the compressor oil
must be replaced. Never break a vacuum with air and
always change the driers when opening the system
for component replacement. For specific handling
concerns with R-410A and POE oil reference Retrofit
Bulletins SS-APG006-EN and APP-APG011-EN or
APP-APG012-EN.
Extreme caution should be exercised when opening
the Liquid Line Service Valve. Turn counterclockwise
until the valve stem just touches the rolled edge. No
torque is required. Failure to follow this warning will
result in abrupt release of system charge and may
result in personal injury and /or property damage.

5.5 Reuse Existing Refrigerant Lines
For retrofit applications, where the existing indoor evaporator coil and/or refrigerant lines will be used, the following
precautions should be taken:
• Ensure that the indoor evaporator coil and refrigerant lines are the correct size.
• Ensure that the refrigerant lines are free of leaks, acid, and oil.
Important: For more information see publication number SS-APG006F-EN.
Section 6. Refrigerant Line Routing
6.1 Precautions
Important: Take precautions to prevent noise
within the building structure due to vibration
transmission from the refrigerant lines.
For Example:
• When the refrigerant lines have to be fastened to floor joists or other framing in a structure, use isolation type
hangers.
• Isolation hangers should also be used when refrigerant lines are run in stud spaces or enclosed ceilings.
• Where the refrigerant lines run through a wall or sill, they should be insulated and isolated.
• Isolate the lines from all ductwork. • Minimize the number of 90º turns.
Comply with National, State, and Local Codes when
isolating line sets from joists, rafters, walls, or other
structural elements.
CAUTION
!
If using existing refrigerant lines make certain that all joints are brazed, not soldered.
