If pressure and temperature do not match on chart, system
refrigerant charge may not be correct or other system ab-
normalities may exist. Do not use table to adjust refrigerant
charge.

When recharging is necessary during heating season, weigh

in total charge as indicated in separate indoor unit installa-
tion instructions. Remove any refrigerant remaining in sys-
tem before recharging. If the system has lost complete charge,
evacuate and recharge by weight. Service port connections
are provided on liquid and suction line service valves. For
evacuation and recharging, Dial-a-Charge charging cylin-
der, or similar device, is an accurate device for recharging
systems by weight.

MAINTENANCE

Before performing recommended maintenance, be sure
unit main power switch is turned off. Failure to do so
may result in electric shock or injury from rotating fan
blade.

Lubrication

COMPRESSOR — Compressor contains factory oil charge;
replace oil when lost. See Table 1 for oil recharge and refer
to Carrier Standard Service Techniques Manual, Chapter 1,
page 1-21, for oil recharging procedure. Use Carrier PP33-1,
Texaco WF-32 or Suniso 3GS oil.

FAN-MOTOR BEARINGS — Oiling holes are provided at
each end of condenser fan motor. Remove fan motor and

lubricate motor with 32 drops (16 drops per hole) of SAE-10
nondetergent oil at intervals described below:
• Annually, when environment is very dirty, ambient tem-

perature is higher than 105 F, and average unit operating
time exceeds 15 hours a day, or

• Every 3 years when environment is reasonably clean, am-

bient temperature is less than 105 F, and unit operating
time averages 8 to 15 hours a day, or

• Every 5 years when environment is clean, ambient tem-

perature is less than 105 F, and unit operating time aver-
ages less than 8 hours a day.

Cleaning

CLEANING COILS —

Coils should be washed out with water, or blown out with

compressed air. Note that the blow-thru design causes dirt
and debris to build up on the inside of the coils.

Clean coil annually or as required by location or outdoor

air conditions. Inspect coil monthly, and clean as required.
Fins are not continuous through coil sections. Dirt and de-
bris may pass through first section, become trapped between
the row of fins and restrict condenser airflow. Use a flash-
light to determine if dirt or debris has collected between coil
sections. Clean coil as follows:
1. Turn off unit power.
2. Using a garden hose, or other suitable equipment, flush

coil from the outside to remove dirt. Be sure to flush all
dirt and debris from drain holes in base of unit. Fan mo-
tors are waterproof.
