This information is intended for use by individuals posses-
sing adequate backgrounds of electrical and mechanical

NOTICE:
Trane has always recommended installing Trane approved
matched indoor and outdoor systems.
The benefits of installing approved matched systems are
maximum efficiency, optimum performance and best
overall system reliability.
WARNING
!
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 refriger-
ant into the system. 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 Bulletin TRN-APG02-EN.
Check for transportation damage after unit is uncrated.
Report promptly, to the carrier, any damage found to the unit.
To determine the electrical power requirements of the unit,
refer to the nameplate of the unit. The electrical power
available must agree with that listed on the nameplate.

factured to withstand and operate in severe winter condi-
tions. However, there are precautionary steps which should
be taken at the time of installation which will help assure
the efficient operation of the unit. It is recommended that
these precautions be taken for units being installed in
areas where snow accumulation and prolonged below
freezing temperatures occur.
1. Units should be elevated 3 to 12 inches above the pad or
rooftop, depending on local weather. This additional
height will allow better drainage of snow and ice (melted
during defrost cycle) prior to its refreezing. This should
prevent a build-up of ice around the unit which occurs
when unit is not elevated. Insure that drain holes in
unit base pan are not obstructed preventing
draining of defrost water.
2. If possible, avoid locations that are likely to accumulate
snow drifts. If not possible, a snow drift barrier should be
installed around the unit to prevent a build-up of snow on
