Safety Precautions
Sharp edges
Gasolin
Do not modify or extend the power cord.
• There is risk or fire or electric shock.
Be cautious when unpacking and installing
the product.
• Sharp edges could cause injury. Be especially careful
of the case edges and the fins on the condenser and
evaporator.
Do not install, remove, or re-install the unit by
yourself.
• There is risk of fire, electric shock, explosion, or injury.
Do not store or use flammable gas or combustibles near the air conditioner.
• There is risk of fire or failure of product.
Be sure the installation area does not deteriorate with age.

This air conditioner is designed with a button-down chassis so it can be easily installed in a window.
Select the Best Location
1. To prevent vibration and noise, make sure the unit is
installed securely and firmly.
2. Install the unit where the sun does not shine directly on
the unit.
3. The outside of the cabinet must extend outward for at
least 10" and there should be no obstacles, such as a
fence or wall, within 20" from the back of the cabinet
because it will prevent heat radiation of the condenser.
Restriction of outside air will greatly reduce the cooling
efficiency of the air conditioner.
CAUTION: All side louvers of the cabinet
must remain exposed on the outdside of
the structure.

a. Install the L brackets behind the inner window sill, with
the short side of bracket as shown.
Use the 2 screws (TYPE A) provided.
b. The bracket helps to hold unit securely in place. Be sure
to place bracket edge flush against back of inner sill.
See Figure. 6.
CAUTION: During the following step, hold
unit firmly until window sash is lowered to

recovery system.
2. After discharging the unit completely, remove the
desired components, and unbraze the pinch-off
tubes.
3. Solder service valves into the pinch-off tube ports,
leaving the valves open.
4. Solder the pinch-off tubes with service valves.
5. After completing the above procedures, the valve
must be closed and left in place on the system for
any subsequent procedures.
6. Evacuate as follows:
6-1. Connect the vacuum pump, as illustrated in figure
31A.
6-2. Start the vacuum pump. Slowly open manifold
valves A and B with two full turns counterclockwise and leave the valves closed.
The vacuum pump is now pulling through valves
A and B up to valve C by means of manifold and
the entire system.
CAUTION:
used, just crack valves A and B for a few
minutes, then open slowly with the two full
turns counter-clockwise. This will keep oil
from foaming and being drawn into the vacuum pump.
6-3. Operate the vacuum pump for 20 to 30 minutes,
until 600 micron vacuum is obtained.
Close valves A and B and observe vacuum
gauge for a few minutes.
A rise in pressure would indicate a possible leak
or moisture remaining in the system.
With valves A and B closed, stop the vacuum
pump.
6-4. Remove the hose from the vacuum pump and
place it on the charging cylinder. See figure 31B.
Open valve C.
Discharge the line at the manifold connection.
6-5. The system is now ready for final charging.
7. Recharge as follows:
7-1. Rotary compressor systems are charged from the
high-side. If the total charge cannot be put in the
high-side, the balance will be put in the suction
line through the access valve which is installed
as the system is opened.
7-2. Connect the charging cylinder as shown in figure
31B. With valve C open, discharge the hose at
the manifold connection.
7-3. Open valve A and allow the proper charge to
enter the system. Valve B is still closed.
7-4. If more charge is required, the high-side will not
take it. Close valve A.
7-5. With the unit running, open valve B and add the
balance of the charge.
a. Do not add the liquid refrigerant to the low-side.
b. Watch the low-side gauge, allow pressure to
rise to 30 lbs(0.2mp).
c. Turn off valve B and allow the pressure to drop.
d. Repeat steps B and C until the balance of the
charge is in the system.
7-6. When the unit is operating correctly, use the
pinch-off tool with the unit still running and the
clamp on the pinch-off tube. Using a tube cutter,
cut the pinch-off tube about 2 inches from the
pinch-off tool. Use sil-fos solder and solder the
pinch-off tube closed. Turn off the unit, allow setting for a while and then test the leakage of the
pinch-off connection.

Units using slinger ring condenser fans must
have 0.22~0.25 inch clearance to the base.
If necessary, shim up the bottom of the fan motor
with mounting screw(s).
Check fan motor bearings; if motor shaft will not
rotate, replace the motor.
Fan motor runs. Revolves on overloadCheck voltage. See limits on this page.
If not within limits, call an electrician.
Test capacitor.
Check bearings. Does the fan blade rotate
freely?
If not, replace fan motor.
Pay attention to any change from high speed to
low speed. If the speed does not change,
replace the motor.

Condenser air flow Remove the cabinet, inspect the interior surface
restriction of the condenser. If restricted, clean carefully
with a vacuum cleaner (do not damage fins) or
brush. Clean the interior base before
re-assembling.
Condenser fins If the condenser fins are closed over a large
(damaged) area on the coil surface, head pressures will
increase, causing the compressor to cycle.
Straighten the fins or replace the coil.
Capacitor Test the capacitor.
Wiring Check the terminals. If loose, repair or replace.
Refrigeration system Check the system for a restriction.
Insufficient cooling Air filter If restricted, clean or replace.
Unit undersized Determine if the unit is properly sized for the
area to be cooled.
Excessive noise Blower or fan Check the set screw, or clamp. If loose or miss-
ing, correct. If the blower or fan is hitting scroll
or barrier, rearrange the air handling parts.
Copper tubing Remove the cabinet and carefully rearrange the
tubing not to contact the cabinet,
compressor, shroud, and barrier.
