APPROVED  MATCHED  INDOOR  AND  OUTDOOR  SYS-

TEMS.
THE BENEFITS OF INSTALLING APPROVED INDOOR 

AND  OUTDOOR  SPLIT  SYSTEMS  ARE  MAXIMUM  EF-

wARNING:

 These  units use r-410A refriger-

ant which operates at 50 to 70% higher pressures than r-22.  

Use only r-410A approved service  equipment. refrigerant 

cylinders are painted a “rose” color to indicate the type 

of refrigerant and may contain a “dip” tube to  allow for 

charging of liquid refrigerant into the system. All r-410A 

systems use a POE oil that readily absorbs moisture from 

the atmosphere. To limit this “hygroscopic” action, the 

system    should  remain  sealed  whenever  possible.  If  a 

system has been open to the atmosphere for more than 4 

hours, the compressor oil must be replaced.  Never break a 

vacuum with air and always change the driers when open-

ing the system for component replacement.  For specific 

handling concerns with r-410A and POE  oil, reference 

retrofit Bulletin SSC-APG011-EN.

Check for transportation damage after unit is uncrated.  Report 

promptly, to the carrier, any damage found to the unit.

To determine the electrical power requirements of the unit, refer 

to the nameplate of the unit.  The electrical power available must 

agree with that listed on the nameplate.
The Heat Pump has been designed and manufactured to with-

stand and operate in severe winter conditions.  However, there 

are precautionary steps which should be taken at the time of 

installation  which  will  help  assure  the  efficient  operation  of 

the unit.
