Installing, starting up, and servicing air conditioning equipment can
be hazardous due to system pressures, electrical components, and
equipment location (roofs, elevated structures, etc.). Only trained,
qualified installers and service mechanics should install, start-up, and
service this equipment. Untrained personnel can perform basic
maintenance functions such as coil cleaning. All other operations
should be performed by trained service personnel.
When working on the equipment, observe precautions in the literature
and on tags, stickers, and labels attached to the equipment. Follow all
safety codes. Wear safety glasses and work gloves. Keep a quenching
cloth and fire extinguisher nearby when brazing. Use care in handling,
rigging, and setting bulky equipment.

INTRODUCTION

This service manual provides the necessary information to service,
repair, and maintain the

40MAHB

family of heat pumps. This manual

has an appendix (see “APPENDICIES” on page 34) with data
required to perform troubleshooting. Use the “TABLE of
CONTENTS”on page 1 to locate a desired topic.

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury

or death.
Before installing, modifying, or servicing the system, the

main electrical disconnect switch must be in the

OFF

position. There may be more than 1 disconnect switch. Lock

out and tag switch (es) with a suitable warning label.

WARNING

EXPLOSION HAZARD

Failure to follow this warning could result
in death, serious personal injury, and/or
property damage. Never use air or gases
containing oxygen for leak testing or
operating refrigerant compressors.
Pressurized mixtures of air or gases
containing oxygen can lead to an explosion.

WARNING

EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD

Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment damage
or improper operation.
Do not bury more than 36 in. (914 mm) of refrigerant pipe in
the ground. If any section of pipe is buried, there must be a 6
in. (152 mm) vertical rise to the valve connections on the
outdoor units. If more than the recommended length is buried,
refrigerant may migrate to the cooler buried section during
extended periods of a system shutdown. This causes
refrigerant slugging and could possibly damage the
compressor at start-up.
