This manual is to be used by qualified, professionally trained HVAC technicians only. Goodman does not assume any responsibility for property
damage or personal injury due to improper service procedures or services
performed by an unqualified person.
The model number is used for positive identification of component parts used in manufacturing. Please use this number
when requesting service or parts information.
Disconnect ALL power before servicing or installing this unit. Multiple
power sources may be present. Failure to do so may cause property
damage, personal injury or death.
Installation and repair of this unit should be performed ONLY by individuals meeting the requirements of an "entry level technician" as specified
by the Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Institute (ARI). Attempting to
install or repair this unit without such background may result in product
damage, personal injury or death.
Goodman will not be responsible for any injury or property damage arising
from improper service or service procedures. If you install or perform
service on this unit, you assume responsibility for any personal injury or
property damage which may result. Many jurisdictions require a license to
install or service heating and air conditioning equipment.

WARNING
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) has issued various regulations regarding the introduction and disposal of refrigerants introduced into this unit. Failure to follow these regulations may harm the environment and can lead to the imposition of substantial fines. These regulations may vary by jurisdiction. Should questions arise, contact your local
EPA office.
To prevent the risk of property damage, personal injury, or death, do not
store combustible materials or use gasoline or other flammable liquids or
vapors in the vicinity of this appliance.
Do not connect or use any device that is not design certified by Goodman
for use with this unit. Serious property damage, personal injury, reduced
unit performance and/or hazardous conditions may result from the use of
such non-approved devices.

PRODUCT DESIGN
SSZ16 models are available in 2, 3, 4 and 5 ton sizes and
use R-410A refrigerant. They are designed for 208/230 volt
single phase applications.
The condenser air is pulled through the condenser coil by a
direct drive propeller fan. This condenser air is then discharged out of the top of the cabinet.
These units are designed for free air discharge, so no additional resistance like duct work shall be attached.
The suction and liquid line connections on present models
are of the sweat type for field piping with refrigerant type copper. Front seating valves are factory installed to accept the
field run copper. The total refrigerant charge for a normal installation is factory installed in the condensing unit. SSZ units
are charged for the matching evaporator coil and a 15 foot
refrigerant line set.
Systems should be properly sized by heat gain and loss
calculations made according to methods of the Air Conditioning Contractors Association (ACCA) or equivalent. It is
the contractors responsibility to ensure the system has adequate capacity to heat or cool the conditioned space.
SSZ16 models use high-efficiency Copeland® Scroll
"Ultratech" compressors which are specifically designed for
R-410A refrigerant. There are a number of design characteristics which are different from the scroll compared to the traditional reciprocating compressor.
"Ultratech" Series scroll compressors will not have a discharge thermostat, some of the early model scroll compressors required discharge thermostats.
Due to their design Scroll compressors are inherently more
tolerant of small quantities of liquid refrigerant.
NOTE: Even though the compressor section of a Scroll compressor is more tolerant of liquid refrigerant, continued
floodback or flooded start conditions may wash oil from the
bearing surfaces causing premature bearing failure.
"Ultratech" Series scroll compressors use "POE" or
polyolester oil which is NOT compatible with mineral oil based
lubricants like 3GS. "POE" oil must be used if additional oil
is required.
These clearances will help avoid air recirculation. If installing
two or more units at the same location, allow at least 24
inches between units. If only one side is restricted (for example, against the outside wall of a house), the unit may be
placed as close as 8" to that one wall.
DO NOT locate the unit:
* Directly under a vent termination for a gas appliance.
* Within 3 feet of a clothes drier vent
* Where the refreezing of defrost water would create
a hazard
* Where water may rise into the unit.

WARNING
To avoid possible injury, explosion or death, practice
safe handling of refrigerants.
Operating pressures and amp draws may differ from standard reciprocating and/or scroll compressors. This information may be found in the "Cooling Performance Data" section.
This unit is for outdoor installation only. Refer to minimum
figure for clearances from the sides of the unit to full walls
and other objects.
NOTE: This unit cannot be completely enclosed. At least
one side must be unrestricted.

NOTES:
•Always check the S & R plate for electrical data on the unit being installed.
•Installer will need to supply 7/8" to 1-1/8" adapters for suction line connections (4 & 5 ton units).
•Installer will need to supply 3/4" to 7/8" adapters for suction line connections (3 ton unit).
•Unit is charged with refrigerant for 15' of 3/8" liquid line. System charge must be adjusted per Installation Instructions Final Charge
Procedure.
•Installation of these units requires the specified TXV Kit to be installed on the indoor coil. THE SPECIFIED TXV IS DETERMINED BY THE
OUTDOOR UNIT, NOT THE INDOOR COIL.
NOTE: This data is provided as a guide, it is important to electrically connect the unit and properly size fuses/circuit breakers and
wires in accordance with all national and/or local electrical codes. Use copper wire only.
Unit specifications are subject to change without notice. ALWAYS refer to the unit's serial plate for the most up-to-date general
and electrical information.
