SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

Installing, starting up, and servicing air-conditioning equipment can 
be hazardous due to unit 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 

only

.

When working on the equipment, observe the 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.
Read this manual thoroughly and follow all the warnings or cautions 
included in the literature and attached to the unit. Consult local 
building codes and the National Electrical Code (NEC) for special 
requirements.

Recognize safety information. This is the safety-alert symbol 

When you see this symbol on the unit and in instructions or manuals, 
be alert to the potential for personal injury. Understand these signal 
words: 

DANGER

WARNING

, and 

CAUTION

.

These words are used with the safety-alert symbol. 

DANGER

 

identifies the most serious of hazards which will result in severe 
personal injury or death. 

WARNING

 signifies hazards which could 

result in personal injury or death. 

CAUTION

 is used to identify 

unsafe practices which may result in minor personal injury or product 
and property damage. 

NOTE

 is used to highlight suggestions which 

will result in enhanced installation, reliability, or operation.

INTRODUCTION

This service manual provides the necessary information to service,
repair, and maintain the indoor units. This manual contains an 
“APPENDICES” on page 36 with data required to troubleshoot issues. 
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 unit, the 

main electrical disconnect switch must be in the 

OFF

 position. 

There may be more than 1 disconnect switch. Lock out and tag 

switch 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 the extended periods 
of unit shutdown. This causes refrigerant slugging and could 
possibly damage the compressor at start-up.
