GENERAL
1. Inspect compressor for shipping damage and file claim
with shipping company if damaged or incomplete.
2. Check compressor nameplate for correct model and
voltage designation.
3. Before installation, review all Carlyle compressor appli-
cation literature to assure yourself that the proper com-
pressor has been selected and is being applied in a
proper manner. The required application literature is
available through Carlyle.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Only qualified, authorized, and appropriately trained HVAC
or refrigeration personnel, should install, commission, and
maintain this equipment.
Use appropriate personal safety equipment where required.
Safety goggles, gloves, protective clothing, safety boots, and
hard hats should be worn where necessary.
OPERATING LIMITS: Refer To Application
Guide
GENERAL INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
Holding Charge
Compressor is factory supplied with a 7 to 20 psig (0.5 to
1.4 bar) charge of dry air or nitrogen. This internal pressure
must be relieved before attempting to remove any compres-
sor fitting or part.
Relieve holding charge by removing the cap on the low pres-
sure connection fitting and depressing the internal disc. See
Fig. 1 through 4 for applicable low pressure connection fit-
ting location.
Service Valves
Remove valve pads and attach factory-supplied suction and
discharge gaskets and service valves to the compressor.
Torque

-in. -13 mounting bolts 80 to 90 lb-ft (109 to
122 Nm). When brazing piping to valve, wrap the valve in a
wet cloth to prevent heat damage.
Oil
1. Check to see that oil level is

of the way up on
compressor sight glass before starting and after 15 to
20 minutes of operation. Compressors may be shipped
with or without an oil charge based on model. All com-
pressors must contain the specified oil charge prior to
start-up as a condition of warranty.
2. To add oil: Relieve internal crankcase pressure, isolate
crankcase, and add oil through the oil fill connection
(see Fig. 1 through 4). To remove excess oil: Reduce
internal crankcase pressure to 2 psig (1.15 bar), isolate
crankcase, then loosen the oil drain plug allowing oil to
seep out past the threads of the plug.
3. When additional oil or a complete oil change is re-
quired, use only the listed Carlyle approved oils.

DANGER
Failure to follow these instructions will result in severe
personal injury or death.
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD. Do not operate compres-
sor or provide electric power to it unless the compressor
terminal box is installed and the terminal box cover is in
place and secured.
DO NOT provide power to unit or turn on compressor un-
less suction and discharge service valves are open.
DO NOT remove the compressor terminal box cover until
all electrical sources have been disconnected.
DO NOT USE oxygen or other industrial gases for tight-
ness/pressure testing. Use nitrogen or inert gas.
WARNING
Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious
injury or death.
CONTENTS UNDER PRESSURE. Compressor con-
tains oil and refrigerant under pressure. Pressure must
be relieved before installation, servicing or opening any
connections.
HOT and COLD surface temperatures can occur during
operation and can result in severe burns or frostbite.
USE ONLY approved refrigerants and refrigeration oils.
NEVER EXCEED specified test pressures. System
strength/tightness test pressure may not exceed the
compressor maximum Test pressure on the Nameplate.
Close shutoff valves to isolate compressor if necessary.
CHECK THE REFRIGERANT TYPE. Charge only with
refrigerant that conforms to AHRI Standard 700.
CAUTION
With the compressor crankcase under slight pressure, do
not remove the oil drain plug as the entire oil charge
could be lost. Do not reuse drained oil or oil that has
been exposed to the atmosphere.
