WARNING
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service
or maintenance can cause property damage, personal
injury or loss of life. Installation and service must be
performed by a licensed professional HVAC installer or
equivalent, or service agency.
IMPORTANT
The Clean Air Act of 1990 bans the intentional venting of
refrigerant (CFCs, HCFCs and HFCs) as of July 1, 1992.
Approved methods of recovery, recycling or reclaiming
must be followed. Fines and/or incarceration may be
levied for noncompliance.
CAUTION
As with any mechanical equipment, contact with sharp
sheet metal edges can result in personal injury. Take
care while handling this equipment and wear gloves and
protective clothing.
WARNING
To prevent serious injury or death:
1. Lock-out/tag-out before performing maintenance.
2. If system power is required (e.g., smoke detector
maintenance), disable power to blower, remove fan
belt where applicable, and ensure all controllers
and thermostats are set to the "OFF" position before
performing maintenance.
3. Always keep hands, hair, clothing, jewelry, tools, etc.
away from moving parts.

1 - Installation instructions
General
This ELKP outdoor air conditioner is designed for use with
R-454B refrigerant only. This unit must be installed with an
approved indoor air handler or coil and line set as outlined
in the ELKP Engineering Handbook. These instructions
are intended as a general guide and do not supersede
local codes in anyway. Consult local authorities having ju-
risdiction before installation.
This outdoor unit is designed for use in thermal expansion
valve (TXV) systems only.
NOTE - The ELKP is a PARTIAL UNIT AIR CONDITION-
ER, complying with PARTIAL UNIT requirements of this
standard, and must only be connected to other units that
have been confirmed as complying to corresponding PAR-
TIAL UNIT requirements of this Standard, UL 60335-2-40/
CSA C22.2 No. 60335-2-40, or UL 1995/CSA C22.2 No
