10. If outdoor air temperature or pressure at suction valve
changes, charge to new suction line temperature indicated on
chart.
HEATING CHECK CHART PROCEDURE
To check system operation during heating cycle, refer to the
Heating Check Chart on outdoor unit. This chart indicates whether
a correct relationship exists between system operating pressure and
air temperature entering indoor and outdoor units. If pressure and
temperature do not match on chart, system refrigerant charge may
not be correct. Do not use chart to adjust refrigerant charge.
NOTE: When charging is necessary during heating season,
charge must be weighed in accordance with unit rating plate ± 0.6
oz/ft of 3/8-in. liquid line above or below 15 ft respectively.
EXAMPLE:
To calculate additional charge required for a 25-ft line set:
25 ft - 15 ft = 10 ft X 0.6 oz/ft=6ozofadditional charge
Step 14—Final Checks

1. Securely fasten all panels and covers.
2. Tighten service valve stem caps to 1/12-turn past finger tight.
3. Leave User’s Manual with owner. Explain system operation
and periodic maintenance requirements outlined in manual.
