SAFETY REMINDERS
1. Carry a fire extinguisher in your truck. Keep it within reach
when using a torch. Check fire extinguisher periodically to be sure it is fully loaded and functional.
2. Know how to handle oxyacetylene equipment safely. Lock
the equipment in an upright position in the truck and at the job site.
tem for leak checking. Always use a good regulator. Be careful not to exceed 150 psig test pressure in the her­metic compressor.
4. Wear safety goggles and gloves when recovering refrig-
erant from a system.
5. Attend shop safety meetings.
START-UP
Refer to operating instructions in Owner ’s Guide pro­vided with room air conditioner. Refer to Table 1 for specific model number information to properly service,maintain,and disassemble the unit.
SERVICE
General Notes —
tions are provided to assist the trained and qualified service technician in repairing or replacing components of Carrier room air conditioner model offerings for 1993-1995. Room air-conditioning models are cooling-only units. These in­structions contain disassembly photos for Model 73TC (Siestat I and Siesta II). A typical 73TC unit is shown in Fig. 1. Unit physical data is found in Tables 2-8.
IMPORTANT: Repairing and servicing air condition­ers can be hazardousfor untrained individuals. The in­structions printed in this publication are for properly trained and qualified Carrier service technicians only.
Before working on any air conditioner, be sure to first disconnect all electric power to theunit to avoid the pos­sibility of electrical shock and personal injury.
Before disconnecting, discharge capacitors by shorting ca­pacitors across terminals.
Shield coils with cardboard to protect hands against in­jury from sharp metal edgeswhen removing compressor and other components.
When disassembling wiring, use numbered stickers to iden­tify wire leads and terminals. This aids in quick, accurate reassembly.

Table 1 — Model Number Nomenclature
Check clearances around scroll and housing before in­stalling fans. Before securing fan(s) fasteners, rotate fan by hand to ensure ample clearance.
Refer to Carrier Standard Service Techniques, Chapters 1 and 2, for information on checking motors; removing refrigerant; adding oil; and evacuating, dehydrating, and charg­ing system. Pay particular attention to all safety warnings for these procedures.
NOTE: In Carrier Standard Service Techniques, refrigerant removal must always include recovering the refrigerant, not allowing it to escape to the atmosphere.
Compressor Replacement
Stand clear of compressor terminals when working on compressors. With system under pressure, terminals may blow causing personal injury.
Observe the same safety procedures for rotary compres­sors as for reciprocating compressors.
When changing compressors:
1. Follow all safety codes. Reminder: use protective goggles, work gloves, and water-soaked quenching cloth.
2. Shut off all electrical power to unit by removing power cord from outlet, then disconnect all wiring from the compressor.
3. Apply field-supplied tap-a-lines to the true (closest to compressor) suction and discharge connections of the compressor.
4. Recover the refrigerant charge from the unit. After re­covering, cut the discharge and suction line process tubes below the tube crimps. If you choose a good tubing location for cutting the refrigerant lines initially, the lo­cation is easily accessible when making the final joints. You can braze the oil piping stub into the new compres­sor fittings more easily before the compressor is put back into the unit.
Oil vapor in piping stubs canignite from torch flame and cause serious injury. Exercise extreme care when brazing, and keep brazing cloth and fire extin­guisher handy for emergency use.
5. Connect a nitrogen supply to the unit at one of the tap­a-line connectors (5 psig maximum flow), leaving the other connector opentotheatmosphere.Brazeanglevalves with stubs to each process tube.
6. Remove compressor from unit. Refer to Accessing Com­pressor, Fan Motor, Outdoor Coil Sections, page 7.
7. Removetap-a-linesfromsuctionanddischargelines.Care­fully braze the holes closed from where the tap-a-lines were removed.
8. For proper cleaning and flushing, use the Carrier Totalclaimt recovery system or a comparable refriger­ant recycling system.
9. Install new compressor and braze into place with field­supplied copper slip couplings.
10. Connect wiring: replace wire terminals if necessary.
12. Start up unit.
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
General
Thoroughly clean basepan, motors, fan wheels,othercom­ponents, and all drain passages. Vacuum insulation. Clean all inside paintedsurfaceswithmilddetergenttoremovegrease.
Clean cabinet and grille. Mild detergents reduce electro­static charges on plastic sections of the grille and are good cleaners. Do not usecarbon tetrachloride, solvents, or waxes containing solvents to clean plastic sections.
PAINTING — Paint any parts that show evidence of rust with a good rust-resistant paint.
WIRING — Check all wiring for deterioration and all elec­trical contacts for tightness and lack of corrosion.
MOUNTING — Make sure unit is secure in window, and level from left to right and from front to rear according to installation instructions provided.
Check fans to ensure they are correctly positioned, cen­tered in orifice, and tight on shaft.
2
LEAKS — Check any connectionsthat show evidence of oil or leaks. When unit is properly installed, centered, and lev­eled (see Owners’ Guide), check gaskets and wing panels for possible air leakage.
Vibrationscan cause unwanted noise. Check to be sure no
piping is vibrating against any side of unit.
System Cleaning/Flushing — For proper cleaning
and flushing, use the Carrier Totalclaim recovery system, or a comparable refrigerant recycling system.
