UNIT START UP
1. Set the thermostat to the highest setting.
2. Set the thermostat system switch to "COOL",
and the fan switch to the "AUTO" position. The
reversing valve solenoid should energize. The
compressor and fan should not run.
3. Reduce the thermostat setting approximately 5
degrees below the room temperature.
4. Verify the heat pump is operating in the cooling
mode.
5. Turn the thermostat system switch to the
"OFF" position. The unit should stop running
and the reversing valve should de energize.
6. Leave the unit off for approximately (5)
minutes to allow for system equalization.
7. Turn the thermostat to the lowest setting.
8. Set the thermostat switch to "HEAT".
9. Increase the thermostat setting approximately
5 degrees above the room temperature.
10. Verify the heat pump is operating in the heating
mode.
11. Set the thermostat to maintain the desired
space temperature.
12. Check for vibrations, leaks, etc.

MAINTENANCE

1. Filter changes or cleanings are required at
regular intervals. The time period between
filter changes will depend upon type of
environment the equipment is used in. In a
single family home, that is not under
construction, changing or cleaning the filter
every 60 days is sufficient. In other
applications such as motels, where daily
vacuuming produces a large amount of lint,
filter changes may be need to be as frequent as
biweekly.
Equipment should never be used during
construction due to likelihood of wall board
dust accumulation in the air coil of the
equipment which permanently affects the
performance and may shorten the life of the
equipment.

2. An annual "checkup" is recommended by a
licensed refrigeration mechanic. Recording the
performance measurements of volts, amps,
and water temperature differences (both
heating and cooling) is recommended. This
data should be compared to the information on
the unit's data plate and the data taken at the
original startup of the equipment.
3. Lubrication of the blower motor is not
required, however may be performed on some
motors to extend motor life. Use SAE-20 non-
detergent electric motor oil.
4. The condensate drain should be checked
annually by cleaning and flushing to insure
proper drainage.
5. Periodic lockouts almost always are caused by
air or water flow problems. The lockout
(shutdown) of the unit is a normal protective
measure in the design of the equipment. If
continual lockouts occur call a mechanic
immediately and have them check for: water
flow problems, water temperature problems,
air flow problems or air temperature problems.
Use of the pressure and temperature charts for
the unit may be required to properly determine
the cause.
