CHECK CHARGE

Charging method is shown on information plate inside unit. To
properly check or adjust charge, conditions must be favorable for
subcooling charging. Favorable conditions exist when the outdoor
temperature is between 70°F and 100°F (21.11°C and 37.78°C),
and the indoor temperature is between 70°F and 80°F (21.11°C
and 26.67°C). Follow the procedure below:
Unit is factory charged for 15ft (4.57 m) of lineset. Adjust charge
by adding or removing 0.6 oz/ft (.018 kg/m) of 3/8 liquid line
above or below 15ft (4.57 m) respectively.
For standard refrigerant line lengths (80 ft/24.38 m or less), allow
system to operate in cooling mode at least 15 minutes. If conditions
are favorable, check system charge by subcooling method. If any
adjustment is necessary, adjust charge slowly and allow system to
operate for 15 minutes to stabilize before declaring a properly
charged system.
If the indoor temperature is above 80°F (26.67°C), and the outdoor
temperature is in the favorable range, adjust system charge by
weight based on line length and allow the indoor temperature to
drop to 80°F (26.67°C) before attempting to check system charge
by subcooling method as described above.
If the indoor temperature is below 70°F (21.11°C), or the outdoor
temperature is not in the favorable range, adjust charge for line set
length above or below 15ft (4.57 m) only. Charge level should then
be appropriate for the system to achieve rated capacity. The charge
level could then be checked at another time when the both indoor
and outdoor temperatures are in a more favorable range.
NOTE: If line length is beyond 80 ft (24.38 m) or greater than 20
ft (6.10 m) vertical separation, See Residential Piping and Long
Line Guideline for special charging requirements.

MAINTENANCE

!
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal
injury or death.
Before installing, modifying, or servicing system, main
electrical disconnect switch must be in the OFF
position. There may be more than 1 disconnect switch.
Lock out and tag switch with a suitable warning label.
LUBRICATION
Compressor
Compressor contains factory oil charge; replace oil when lost. Use
Mobile 3MA−POE oil.
CLEANING COILS
Coil should be washed out with water or blown out with
compressor air. Note that the blow−thru design causes dirt and
debris to build up on the inside of the coils. Clean coil annually or
as required by location and outdoor air conditions. Inspect coil
monthly and clean as required. Fins are not continuous through
coil sections. Dirt and debris may pass through first section,
become trapped between the row of fins and restrict condenser
airflow. Use a flashlight to determine if dirt or debris has collected
between coil sections. Clean coil as follows:
1. Turn off unit power.
2. Using a garden hose or other suitable equipment, flush coil
from the outside to remove dirt. Be sure to flush all dirt and
debris from drain holes in base of unit. Fan motors are wa-
terproof.
