and file a concealed damage claim.

LOCATION

Check local codes for regulations concerning zoning, noise,

platforms, and other issues.
Locate unit away from fresh air intakes, vents, or bedroom

windows. Noise may carry into the openings and disturb people
inside.

Locate unit in a well drained area, or support unit high enough so
that water runoff will not enter the unit.

Locate unit away from areas where heat, lint, or exhaust fumes will
be discharged onto unit (as from dryer vents).

Locate unit away from recessed or confined areas where
recirculation of discharge air may occur (refer to CLEARANCE

REQUIREMENT section of this document).
Roof-top installation is acceptable providing the roof will support

the unit and provisions are made for water drainage and
noise/vibration dampening.

NOTE: Roof mounted units exposed to wind may require wind
baffles. Consult the manufacturer for additional information.

CLEARANCE REQUIREMENTS

When installing, allow sufficient space for airflow clearance, wiring,
refrigerant piping, and service.

Allow 24 in. (609.6 mm) clearance to service end of unit and 48 in.
(1219.2 mm) (above unit. For proper airflow, a 6-in. (152.4 mm)
clearance on 1 side of unit and 12-in. (304.8 mm) on all remaining
sides must be maintained. Maintain a distance of 24 in. (609.6 mm)
between units or 18 in. (45%2 mm) if no overhang within 12 ft. (3.66
m).

Position so water, snow, or ice from roof or eaves cannot fall directly
on unit.

NOTE: 18" (457.2 mm) clearance option described above is

approved for outdoor units with wire grille coil guard only. Units

with louver panels require 24" (609.6 mm) between units. On
rooftop applications, locate unit at least 6 in. (152.4 mm) above

roof surface.

EXPLOSION HAZARD

Failure to follow this warning could
result in death, serious personal iniury,
and/or property damage.

Never use air or gases containing
oxygen for leak testing or operating
refrigerant compressors. Pressurized
mixtures of air or gases containing
oxygen can lead to an explosion.

UNIT SUPPORT

NOTE: Unit nmst be level _+ 2 degrees {3/8 inch rise or fall per
foot of run (10 mm rise or fall per 305 mm of run) } or compressor
may not function properly.

A. GROUND LEVEL INSTALLATION

The unit must be level and supported above grade by beams,
platform, or a pad. Platform or pad can be of open or solid

construction but should be of permanent materials such as
concrete, bricks, blocks, steel, or pressure-treated timbers approved
for ground contact. Soil conditions must be considered so that the

platform or pad does not shift or settle and leave the unit partially
supported. Minimum pad dimensions are shown in Fig. 1.

If beams or an open platform are used for support, it is
recommended that the soil be treated or area be graveled to reduce

the growth of grasses and weeds.
To minimize vibration or noise transmission, it is recommended

that supports not be in contact with the building structure.
However, slabs on grade constructions with an extended pad are

normally acceptable.

B. ROOF TOP INSTALLATION

This type of installation is not recommended on wood frame
structures where low noise levels are required.

Supporting structure or platform for the unit must be level. If
installation is on a fiat roof, locate unit minimum 6 inches (152
ram) above roof level.

Place the unit over one or more load bearing walls. If there are
several units, mount them on platforms that are self-supporting
and span several load bearing walls. These suggestions are to

minimize noise and vibration transmission through the structure. If
the structure is a home or apartment, avoid locating the unit over

bedrooms or study.
NOTE: When unit is to be installed on a bonded guaranteed roof,

a release must be obtained from the building owner to free the
installer from all liabilities.

C. FASTENING UNIT DOWN

If conditions or local codes require the unit be attached in place,
remove the knockouts in the base pan and install tie down bolts

through the holes (see Fig. 1).
Contact local distributor for hurricane hold-down details and the

P.E. (Professional Engineer) certification, when required.

REFRIGERATION SYSTEM

EXPLOSION AND FIRE HAZARD

Failure to follow this caution could result in property
damage, personal iniury and/or death.

This unit utilizes R-22 refrigerant. Use only R-22
refrigerant when servicing this unit.

DO NOT, under any circumstances, use R-410A
refrigerant in this system.

PROPERTY DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in property

damage.
Inadequate unit support may cause excessive vibration,

noise, and/or stress on the refrigerant lines, leading to
refrigerant line failure.

A. COMPONENT MATCHES

Check to see that the proper system components are in place,

especially the indoor coil.
R-22 outdoor units can only be used with R-22 specific indoor

coils. If there is a refrigerant ntis-match, consult the indoor coil
manufacturer to deternfine if a refrigerant conversion kit is

available for the indoor coil.

This outdoor unit is designed for use only with indoor coils that
utilize a TXV refrigerant metering device. If any other type of

metering device is installed on the indoor coil, consult the indoor
coil manufacturer to deternfine if a TXV conversion kit is available

The compressors for these units are supplied with Polyol Ester
(POE) Oil. If the existing line set and indoor coil has residual

nfineral oil (MO) there is no concern with percentage of oil
nfixtures as both are nfiscible with the R-22. Mixtures of both oils

at any percentage will lubricate and return with the R-22.

B. REFRIGERANT LINE SETS

The refrigerant line set must be properly sized to assure maximum
efficiency and proper oil circulation.

Refer to Long Line Guideline for line set sizing.
NOTE: Total line set length must not exceed 200 feet (61 m).
A crankcase heater must be used when the refrigerant line length

exceeds 80 feet (24.4 m).
If vertical separation between indoor and outdoor units is greater

than 30 ft (9.14 m), refer to the Long Line Guideline.
If it is necessary to add refrigerant line in the field, use dehydrated

or dry, sealed, deoxidized, copper refrigeration tubing. Do not use
copper water pipe.

Do not remove rubber plugs or caps from copper tubing until
connections are ready to be made.

Be extra careful when bending refrigeration tubing. Tubing can
"kink" easily, and if this occurs, the entire length of tubing must be

replaced.

UNIT OPERATION HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in improper unit

operation.
Do not leave system open to atmosphere any longer than

absolutely required for installation. Internal system
components - especially refrigerant oils - are extremely
susceptible to moisture contamination. Keep ends of tubing
sealed during installation until the last possible moment.

C. ROUTING AND SUSPENDING REFRIGERANT LINES

Run refrigerant lines as straight and direct as possible, avoiding
unnecessary bends and turns. Always insulate the entire suction
line. Both lines should be insulated when routed through an attic or

when routed through an underground raceway.
When routing refrigerant lines through a foundation or wall, do not

allow refrigerant lines to come in direct contact with the building

structure.
Make openings large enough so that lines can be wrapped with

extra insulation. Fill all gaps with RTV caulk. This will prevent
noise transmission between the tubing and the foundation or wall.

Along floor or ceiling joists, suspend refrigerant lines so that they
do not contact the building structure, water pipes, or ductwork. Use

insulated or suspension type hangers. Metal straps must be at least

1" (25 mm) wide to avoid cutting into the tube insulation. Keep the

liquid and suction lines separate. Refer to Fig. 3.

PERSONAL INJURY HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal iniury

and/or death.

Relieve pressure and recover all refrigerant before servicing
existing equipment, and before final unit disposal. Use all
service ports and open all flow-control devices, including

solenoid valves.

UNIT OPERATION HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in improper

product operation.
Do not bury more than 36" (1 m) of line set underground.

Refrigerant may migrate to cooler buried section during
extended periods of unit shut-down, causing refrigerant
slugging and possible compressor damage at start-up.

If ANY section of the line set is buried underground,
provide a minimum 6" (152 mm) vertical rise at the service

valve.
