VIII. ENSURE ADEQUATE OUTDOOR-AIR SUPPLY
Outdoor air is pulled from underneath the home, passed across the outdoor-air coil, then pushed out through the roof cap exhaust. Since the outdoor-air is pulled from beneath the home, it is very important that the amount of ventilation panels or vents is adequate. The underpinning vent panels or foundation vents are rated for the amount of air that passes through them in sq in. of net free area. Ensure that you have the correct amount of ventilation needed for unit being installed. (See Table 8.)
TABLE 8—VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS
UNIT SIZE MINIMUM NET FREE OPEN AREA (SQ. IN.)
018 400 024 450 030 675 036 700
IX. CONSTRUCT OUTDOOR-AIR TUNNEL (IF RE­QUIRED)
NOTE: This is an OPTIONAL installation procedure to alleviate
problems that may occur with your air conditioner or heat pump unit and various other appliances or ambient conditions.
A. Determine if an Outdoor-Air Tunnel is Required
We recommend that this procedure be used for any one or a combination of the following conditions:
1. A fireplace is installed and gets its fresh air from underneath structure.
Indication to use: When conditioner or heat pump turns on, smoke from fireplace backdrafts and enters structure.
2. A gas water heater is installed that uses fresh air from underneath structure.
Indication to use: When your air conditioner or heat pump turns on, the pilot light for the water heater is blown out.
3. In extremely cold regions where water pipes may freeze. Indication to use: In winter, pipes freeze.
B. Build Outdoor-Air Tunnel NOTE: The equipment and materials to install this duct work are
NOT factory supplied, nor is manufacturer responsible for deter­mining if this procedure should be utilized.
If it is determined that an outdoor-air tunnel is required, locate unit air intake which comes through bottom board of home and build outdoor-air tunnel as follows:
1. Using pressure-treated 2 X 2’s or similar material, frame a tunnel from skirting or foundation wall to entrance of outdoor-air plenum. (See Fig. 27 for a typical air tunnel.)
2. The condensate drain must not be allowed to drain inside air tunnel. Pipe to outside of home. (See. Fig. 28.)
CAUTION: The tunnel and grille or screen must meet the minimum requirements listed in Table 8 to get the proper airflow to the unit intake. Failure to adhere to this caution will affect the unit’s capacity and efficiency ratings. A larger net free area may be used.
3. Attach 1-in. duct board to frame built in item 1.
4. Seal all joints thoroughly with caulking and/or duct tape.
5. Set base of walls about 2 in. in ground and backfill around to provide a good air seal. (See Fig. 28.)
6. Install a louver or a screen over opening of air tunnel where it penetrates skirting or foundation of home.
X. REFRIGERANT
The unit is pre-charged at the factory to the correct operating charge and should not require adjustment. However, should an adjustment be required or if the unit requires service, adhere to the following precautions.
WARNING: Gage ports are equipped with Schrader valves. To prevent personal injury, wear safety glasses and gloves when handling refrigerant.
CAUTION: Compressor damage may occur if system is overcharged.
WARNING: Do not vent refrigerant to atmosphere. Recover all refrigerant before system repair or final unit disposal to avoid personal injury or death. Use all service ports and open all flow-control devices, including sole­noid valves.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
For continuing high performance, and to minimize equipment failure, it is essential that periodic maintenance be performed on this equipment. Consult your servicing contractor or User’s Manual for the proper frequency of maintenance. Frequency of maintenance may vary depending on geographic areas, such as coastal application.
Leave User’s Manual with homeowner. Explain system operation and maintenance procedures outlined in
User’s Manual.

FINAL CHECKLIST
1. Make sure circuit breakers inside unit are in ON position.
2. Check to see if hole in ceiling around 14-in. flex duct is sealed or taped for a tight fit.
3. Unit is secured to floor with 2 wood screws in groove under filter frame.
4. Condensate drain hose is below bottom board or piped to exterior of home.
5. Outdoor-air intake is below bottom board and taped to bottom board so insulation or vapor barrier cannot be sucked into outdoor-air intake.
6. Roof flashing caulked and secured to roof.
7. Thermostat is level, packing pad removed (if applicable), and heat anticipator indicator is set to recommended value listed in Table 6 or 7 (unless electronic thermostat is used).
8. Test run in heating, cooling, and emergency heat (if applicable) mode as follows:
a. Set fan control to ON. If fan runs, return control to
AUTO setting. This verifies fan is working properly.
b. Set system control from OFF to COOL. Lower tempera-
ture selector to 50° or lower. The compressor should energize and cool air should blow through registers. Once cooling test is complete, return system control to OFF setting. Wait 5 minutes.
c. Set system control to HEAT and raise temperature
selector to 80° or higher. On air conditioner models, electric heat should energize. On heat pump models, compressor should energize. Hot air should blow through registers.
d. On heat pump models, set system control to EM HEAT
(Emergency Heat). Compressor should turn off and heat should continue to flow from registers. NOTE: Temperature of this emergency heat will be about the same temperature as any other electric furnace.
9. Make sure no noise is in upper fan housing. If you hear knocking or flapping noise, turn unit off at thermostat and flip main circuit breakers to OFF position. Disconnect 14-in. flex duct on top of unit and make sure no sheet rock, plywood, lumber, nails, or trash is in fan housing.
