IMPORTANT INSTALLER NOTE

For improved start-up performance, wash the indoor coil
with a dishwasher detergent.

CRANKCASE HEATERS

All units covered in this manual are provided with
compressor crankcase heat.
This crankcase heater is a band type heater located
around the bottom of the compressor. This heater is
controlled by the crankcase heater relay. The heater is
only energized when the compressor is not running.
Crankcase heat is essential to prevent liquid refrigerant
from migrating to the compressor, preventing oil pump
out on compressor start-up and possible bearing or scroll
vane failure due to compressing a liquid.
The decal in Figure 7 is affixed to all model units
detailing start-up procedure. This is very important.
Please read carefully.

HIGH & LOW PRESSURE SWITCH
All models covered by this Manual are supplied with a
remote reset high pressure switch and low pressure
switch. If tripped, this pressure switch may be reset by
turning the thermostat off then back on again.

IMPORTANT
These procedures must be followed at
initial start-up and at any time power
has been removed for 12 hours or
longer.
To prevent compressor damage which may
result from the presence of liquid
refrigerant in the compressor crankcase.
1. Make certain the room thermostat is in
the "off" position (the compressor is
not to operate).
2. Apply power by closing the system
disconnect switch. This energizes the
compressor heater which evaporates
the liquid refrigerant in the crankcase.
3. Allow 4 hours or 60 minutes per pound
of refrigerant in the system as noted
on the unit rating plate, whichever is
greater.
4. After properly elapsed time, the
thermostat may be set to operate the
compressor.
5. Except as required for safety while
servicing – Do not open system
disconnect switch.
