START-UP
Use the following information and Start-Up Checklist
on page CL-1 to check out unit PRIOR to start-up.
Unit Preparation —
Check that unit has been installed
in accordance with these installation instructions and appli-
cable codes.
Compressor Mounting —
Loosen the compressor hold-
down bolts until sidewise movement of the washer under
each holddown bolt head can be obtained. Do not loosen
completely as bolts are self-locking and will maintain
adjustment.
Internal Wiring —
Check all electrical connections in
unit control boxes; tighten as required.
Refrigerant Service Ports and Valves —
Each 48HJ
unit has 2 Schrader-type service ports per circuit; one on the
suction line and one on the liquid line. Be sure that the caps
on the ports are tight. The units also have 2 service valves
per circuit; one on the suction line and one on the discharge
line. Be sure all valves are open.
Crankcase Heater —
Crankcase heater is energized
as long as there is power to the unit.
IMPORTANT: Unit power must be on for 24 hours
prior to start-up. Otherwise, damage to compressor may
result.

stalled. See Tables 3A, 3B, 4, and 5 for Fan Performance
Data. Remove tape from fan pulley and adjust pulleys on
48HJ015 units as required. See Evaporator-Fan Perfor-
mance Adjustment section on page 19. Be sure that fans ro-
tate in the proper direction. See Table 6 for air quantity lim-
its. See Table 7 for static pressure drops for accessories and
options. See Fig. 23 and 24 for fan performance using hori-
zontal adapter and power exhaust. To alter fan performance,
see Performance Adjustment sections on page 19.
Condenser-Fans and Motors —
Condenser fans and
