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 the signal word DANGER, WARNING, or CAU-
TION. These words are used with the safety-alert symbol. DAN-
GER identifies the most serious hazards which will result in severe
personal injury or death. WARNING signifies hazards which

cause personal injury or death.
INSTALLATION
Step 1—Mount Unit to Pad
Refer to Fig. 1 for pad dimensions and dimensions needed to
mount unit to pad.
Step 2—Refrigerant Tubing
Refer to Fig. 2 for refrigerant tube dimensions and connections.
Step 3—Mechanical Connection (38YCP Model)
1. Remove plastic retainer holding outdoor piston and piston
retainer in the liquid service valve. Connect and tighten the
liquid service valve adapter to the valve body prior to
assembling ferrule/lock nut. (See Fig. 3.)
2. Cut tubing to the correct length, deburr and size as necessary,
making sure tube ends are square. If a large burr is evident, the
ID and OD must be deburred to allow the tube to bottom in
valve.
Manufacturer reserves the right to discontinue, or change at any time, specifications or designs without notice and without incurring obligations.

bottoms.
7. Push the ferrule into place and hand tighten the nut until an
increase in torque is felt.
