Using the Manual
This Owner’s Manual is intended to provide detailed instructions for the installation of the Cold Weather Start Kit to
the Platinum Split 4000 cooling system. In order to ensure the proper longevity of your cooling unit, the equipment
should be installed as outlined in this Owner’s Manual. It is also vital to establish a proper care and maintenance
schedule. Please read and review this Owner’s Manual carefully and keep it for future reference.
What is a Cold Weather Start Kit?
The Cold Weather Start Kit is designed to insure the start of your cooling system despite frigid ambient temperature
that may result in failure of unit operation. The Cold Weather Start Kit will provide heat to the condensing unit when
ambient temperature is too low.
How Does the Cold Weather Start Kit Work?
The Cold Weather Start Kit provides heat to specic components in the condensing unit for proper operation when
the cooling system is in a below freezing setting. The Cold Weather Start Kit comes equipped with sensors to enable
an ideal temperature boost every time.
For the equipment warranty to be valid, WhisperKOOL requires that the installation is performed by a certied HVAC-R technician
(NATE certied technician is recommended) per the specications outlined in this Technician’s Manual. The technician shall be
required to be equipped with the proper tools of the trade including: R-134a, brazing equipment, dry nitrogen, an accurate
manifold gauge set (digital preferred), plus a 4 valve manifold set for evacuation, digital micron gauge, digital scale, deep vacuum
pump and accurate digital thermometers. Without the proper equipment, a professional job cannot be accomplished. Evidence of
the certied tech’s NATE# or other certication is required.
