or assistance. The qualified installer or agency must use
factory−authorized kits or accessories when modifying this
product. Refer to the individual instructions packaged with
1
the kits or accessories when installing.
2
Follow all safety codes. Wear safety glasses, protective
clothing, and work gloves. Use quenching cloth for brazing

operations. Have fire extinguisher available. Read these
instructions thoroughly and follow all warnings or cautions

special requirements.
10
Recognize safety information. This is the safety−alert

symbol
! !
When you see this symbol on the unit and in
13
instructions or manuals, be alert to the potential for personal
14
injury.
17
Understand these signal words: DANGER, WARNING, and
18
CAUTION.
These words are used with the safety−alert
symbol. DANGER identifies the most serious hazards which
19
will result in severe personal injury or death. WARNING
23
signifies hazards which could result in personal injury or
25
death. CAUTION is used to identify unsafe practices which
may result in minor personal injury or product and property
damage. NOTE is used to highlight suggestions which will
result in enhanced installation, reliability, or operation.

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
75
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal
79
injury or death.
85
Before installing, modifying, or servicing system, main
90
electrical disconnect switch must be in the OFF

position. There may be more than 1 disconnect switch.
102
Lock out and tag switch with a suitable warning label.
!
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.
