Trane Startup Checklist
This checklist is intended to be a guide for the Trane
technician just prior to unit 'startup'. Many of the
recommended checks and actions could expose the
technician to electrical and mechanical hazards. Refer to
the appropriate sections in the this manual for appropriate
procedures, component specifications and safety
instructions.
Important: This checklist is not intended as a substitution
for the contractor’s installation instruction.
Important: Except where noted, it is implied that the Trane
technician is to use this checklist for
inspection/verification of prior tasks completed
by the general contractor at installation. Use
the line item content to also record the
associated values onto the Trane unitary
packaged equipment log.
