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.

!

EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD

Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment
damage or improper operation.

Do not bury more than 36 in. (914 mm) of refrigerant pipe
in the ground. If any section of pipe is buried, there must be

.

a 6 in. (152 mm) vertical rise to the valve connections on
the outdoor units. If more than the recommended length is
buried, refrigerant may migrate to the cooler buried section
during extended periods of system shutdown. This causes
refrigerant slugging and could possibly damage the
compressor at start- up.

Piping Guide:

S Do not open service valves or remove protective caps from

tubing ends until all the connections are made.

S Bend tubing with bending tools to avoid kinks and flat spots.
S Keep the tubing free of dirt, sand, moisture, and other

contaminants to avoid damaging the refrigerant system.

S Avoid sags in the suction line to prevent the formation of oil traps.

Insulate each tube with minimum 3/8- in. (10 mm) wall thermal
pipe insulation. Inserting the tubing into the insulation before
making the connections saves time and improves installation quality.

1. Remove service valve cover if provided with unit.

2. Cut tubing with tubing cutter.

3. Install correct size flare nut onto tubing and make flare
connection.

4. Apply a small amount of refrigerant oil to the flare
connection on the tubing.

5. Properly align tubing in with service valve.

6. Tighten flare nut and finish installation using two wrenches
asshowninFig.9.

UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD

Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment
damage or improper operation.

Never use the system compressor as a vacuum pump.

Refrigerant tubes and indoor coil should be evacuated using the
recommended deep vacuum method of 500 microns. The alternate
triple evacuation method may be used if the procedure outlined
below is followed. Always break a vacuum with dry nitrogen.

CAUTION

SYSTEM VACUUM AND CHARGE

Using Vacuum Pump

1. Completely tighten flare nuts A, B, C, D, connect manifold
gage charge hose to a charge port of the low side service
valve (see Fig. 16.)

2. Connect charge hose to vacuum pump.

3. Fully open the low side of manifold gage. (See Fig. 17)

4. Start vacuum pump

5. Evacuate using either deep vacuum or triple evacuation
method.

6. After evacuation is complete, fully close the low side of
manifold gage and stop operation of vacuum pump.

7. The factory charge contained in the outdoor unit is good for
up to 25 ft. (8 m) of line length. For refrigerant lines longer
than 25 ft (8 m), add 0.2 oz. per foot of extra piping up to
the maximum allowable length.

8. Disconnect charge hose from charge connection of the low
side service valve.

9. Fully open service valves B and A.

10. Securely tighten caps of service valves.

Deep Vacuum

Method

The deep vacuum method requires a vacuum pump capable of
pulling a vacuum of 500 microns and a vacuum gage capable of
accurately measuring this vacuum depth. The deep vacuum method
is the most positive way of assuring a system is free of air and
liquid water. (See Fig. 18)

Triple Evacuation

Method

The triple evacuation method should only be used when vacuum
pump is only capable of pumping down to 28 in. of mercury
vacuum and system does not contain any liquid water.
Refer to Fig. 19 and proceed as follows:

1. Pump system down to 28 in. of mercury and allow pump to
continue operating for an additional 15 minutes.

2. Close service valves and shut off vacuum pump.

3. Connect a nitrogen cylinder and regulator to system and
open until system pressure is 2 psig.

4. Close service valve and allow system to stand for 1 hr.
During this time, dry nitrogen will be able to diffuse
throughout the system absorbing moisture.

5. Repeat this procedure as indicated in Fig. 19. The system is
then free of any contaminants and water vapor.
