PRE- -START- -UP

WARNING
!
FIRE, EXPLOSION, ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury
or death and/or property damage.
1. Follow recognized safety practices and wear protective
goggles when checking or servicing refrigerant system.
2. Relieve and recover all refrigerant from system before
touching or disturbing anything inside terminal box if
refrigerant leak is suspected around compressor terminals.
3. Never attempt to repair soldered connection while
refrigerant system is under pressure.
4. Do not use torch to remove any component. System
contains oil and refrigerant under pressure.
5. To remove a component, wear protective goggles and
proceed as follows:
a. Shut off electrical power to unit and install lockout
tag.
b. Relieve and reclaim all refrigerant from system
using both high- - and low- -pressure ports.
c. Cut component connecting tubing with tubing
cutter and remove component from unit.
d. Carefully unsweat remaining tubing stubs when
necessary. Oil can ignite when exposed to flame.
Proceed as follows to inspect and prepare the unit for initial start- -up:
1. Remove all access panels.
2. Read and follow instructions on all DANGER, WARNING,
CAUTION, and INFORMATION labels attached to, or
shipped with unit.
3. Make the following inspections:
a. Inspect for shipping and handling damages, such as
broken lines, loose parts, disconnected wires, etc.
b. Inspect for oil at all refrigerant tubing connections and on
unit base. Detecting oil generally indicates a refrigerant
leak. Leak test all refrigerant tubing connections using
electronic leak detector, or liquid- -soap solution. If a
refrigerant leak is detected, see Check for Refrigerant
Leaks section.
c. Inspect all field- - and factory- -wiring connections. Be
sure that connections are completed and tight.

d. Ensure wires do not touch refrigerant tubing or sharp
sheet metal edges.
e. Inspect coil fins. If damaged during shipping and
handling, carefully straighten fins with a fin comb.
4. Verify the following conditions:
a. Make sure that outdoor- -fan blade is correctly positioned
in fan orifice. Top edge of blade should be 3.125 in. down
from outdoor coil outlet grille (size 024- -048, See Fig. 19)
or hub should be 0.708- -in. away from motor end bell
(size 060, See Fig. 20). See Outdoor Fan Adjustment
section.
b. Make sure that air filter is in place.
c. Make sure that condensate drain pan and trap are filled
with water to ensure proper drainage.
d. Make sure that all tools and miscellaneous loose parts
have been removed.

START- -UP

Step 1—Check for Refrigerant Leaks
Proceed as follows to locate and repair a refrigerant leak and to
charge the unit:
1. Locate leak and make sure that refrigerant system pressure
has been relieved and reclaimed from both high- - and
low- -pressure ports.
2. Repair leak following accepted practices.
NOTE: Install a filter drier whenever the system has been opened
for repair.
Step 2—Start- -Up Cooling and Make Adjustments
Complete the required procedures given in the Pre- -Start- -Up
section before starting the unit. Do not jumper any safety devices
when operating the unit. Do not operate the unit in cooling mode
when the outdoor temperature is below 40°F (unless accessory
low- -ambient kit is installed). Do not rapid cycle the compressor.
Allow 5 min. between "on" cycles to prevent compressor damage.
CHECKING COOLING
OPERATION
Start and check the unit for proper cooling control operation as
follows:
1. Place room thermostat SYSTEM switch in OFF position.
Observe that blower motor starts when FAN switch is placed
in ON position and shuts down within 60 sec. (for 024- -042)
or 90 seconds (for 048 and 060) when FAN switch is placed
in AUTO position.
2. Place SYSTEM switch in COOL position and FAN switch
in AUTO position. Set control below room temperature.
Observe that compressor, outdoor fan, and indoor blower
motors start and that reversing valve shifts. Observe that
cooling cycle shuts down when control setting is satisfied.
Reversing valve (RV) remains energized.
3. Place system switch in HEAT position. Observe that
compressor, indoor fan and outdoor fan energize (Reversing
Valve is deenergized in air conditioner heating mode). Set
control above room temperature. Observe that heating cycle
shuts down when control setting is satisfied.
4. When using an automatic changeover room thermostat,
place both SYSTEM and FAN switches in AUTO positions.
Observe that unit operates in Cooling mode when
temperature control is set to call for Cooling (below room
temperature), and unit operates in Heating mode when
temperature control is set to call for Heating (above room
temperature).
