SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Installing, starting up, and servicing air−conditioning equipment
can be hazardous due to system pressures, electrical components,
and equipment location (roofs, elevated structures, etc.).
Only trained, qualified installers and service mechanics should
install, start−up, and service this equipment.
Untrained personnel can perform basic maintenance functions such
as cleaning coils. All other operations should be performed by
trained service personnel.
When working on the equipment, observe precautions in the
literature and on tags, stickers, and labels attached to the
equipment.
Follow all safety codes. Wear safety glasses and work gloves. Keep
quenching cloth and fire extinguisher nearby when brazing. Use
care in handling, rigging, and setting bulky equipment.
Read this manual thoroughly and follow all warnings or cautions
included in literature and attached to the unit. Consult local building
codes and National Electrical Code (NEC) for special requirements.
Recognize safety information. This is the safety−alert symbol
When you see this symbol on the unit and in instructions or manuals,
be alert to the potential for personal injury. Understand these signal
words: DANGER, WARNING, and CAUTION.

EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment
damage or improper operation.
Do not bury more than 36 in. (914 mm) of refrigerant pipe
in the ground. If any section of pipe is buried, there must be
a 6 in. (152 mm) vertical rise to the valve connections on
the outdoor units. If more than the recommended length is
buried, refrigerant may migrate to the cooler buried section
during extended periods of system shutdown. This causes
refrigerant slugging and could possibly damage the
compressor at start−up.

This Service Manual provides the necessary information to service,
repair, and maintain the 38MBR family of heat pumps. Section 2 of
this manual has an appendix with data required to perform
troubleshooting. Use the Table of Contents to locate a desired topic.
WARNING
WARNING
EXPLOSION HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could
result in death, serious personal injury,
and/or property damage.
Never use air or gases containing
oxygen for leak testing or operating
refrigerant compressors. Pressurized
mixtures of air or gases containing
oxygen can lead to an explosion.
