INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
These instructions must be read and understood completely before attempting installation.
The equipment covered in this manual is to be installed by trained and experienced
service and installation technicians. Improper installation, modification, service, or use
can cause electrical shock, fire, explosion, or other conditions which may cause personal
injury, death, or property damage. Use appropriate safety gear including safety glasses
and gloves when installing this equipment.
Risk of electrical shock. Disconnect all remote power
supplies before installing or servicing any portion of the
system. Failure to disconnect power supplies can result
in property damage, personal injury, or death.
Installation and servicing of air conditioning equipment
can be hazardous due to internal refrigerant pressure
and live electrical components. Only trained and
qualified service personnel should install or service
this equipment. Installation and service performed by
unqualified persons can result in property damage,
personal injury, or death.
Sharp metal edges can cause injury. When installing
the unit, use care to avoid sharp edges.

    INSTALLATION Inspection of Shipment Upon receipt of equipment, carefully inspect it for possible shipping damage. If damage is found, it should be noted on General the carrier’s freight bill. Take special care to examine the unit Read this entire instruction manual, as well as the inside the carton if the carton is damaged.

    Refrigerant Piping If the 4SHP18LT unit is being installed with a new indoor coil and line set, the refrigerant connections should be made as outlined in this section. If an existing line set and/or indoor coil will be used to complete the system, refer to this section as well as the section that follows entitled - Flushing Existing Line Set and Indoor Coil.

Cut ends of refrigerant lines square (free from nicks or based on how noisy the unit is at the neighbor’s home, not dents). Debur the ends. The pipe must remain round; do at the original installation.
  • Page 6 6. Braze the line set to the service valve. Quench the joints with water or a wet cloth to prevent heat damage to CAUTION the valve core and opening port. The tube end must stay bottomed in the fitting during final assembly to ensure When flushing existing line set and/or indoor coil, be sure to proper seating, sealing, and rigidity.

  • Page 11 3. Open the high pressure side of the manifold to allow R410A into the line set and indoor unit. Weigh in a trace amount of R410A. (A trace amount is a maximum of 2 oz. of refrigerant or 3 lbs. pressure.) Close the valve on the R410A cylinder and the valve on the high pressure side of the manifold gauge set.
  • Page 12 4. Open both manifold valves and start vacuum pump. 5. Evacuate the line set and indoor unit to a minimum of 500 microns or lower. During the early stages of evacuation, it is desirable to close the manifold gauge valve at least once to determine if there is a rapid rise in pressure.
