WARNING
PERSONAL INJURY AND ENVIRONMENTAL
HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal
injury or death.
Relieve pressure and recover all refrigerant before
system repair or final unit disposal.
Use all service ports and open all flow-- control
devices, including solenoid valves.
CAUTION
!
UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment
damage or improper operation.
If ANY refrigerant tubing is buried, provide a 6--in. vertical
rise at service valve. Refrigerant tubing lengths up to 36--in.
may be buried without further special consideration. Do not
bury lines longer than 36 in.
CAUTION
!
UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment
damage or improper operation.
To prevent damage to unit or service valves, observe the
following:
S Use a brazing shield.
S Wrap service valves with wet cloth or use a heat sink
material.
Outdoor units may be connected to indoor section using
accessory tu b ing pack ag e o r field--supplied refrigerant grade
tubing of correct size and condition. For tubing requirements
beyond 80 ft., substantial capacity and performance losses can
occur. Following the recommendations in the Long Line
Guideline for Split--System Air Conditioners and Heat Pumps
will reduce these losses. Refer to Table 1 for accesso ry
requirements. Refer to Table 2 for field tubing diameters.
If refrigerant tubes or indoor coil are exposed to atmosphere, they
must be evacuated to 500 microns to eliminate contamination and
moisture in the system.
