Before performing service or maintenance operations on the
system, turn off main power to unit and install lockout tag or
electrical shock could result.
1. Open all electrical disconnects and install lockout tag before
starting any service work.
2. Remove indoor coil access panel (See Fig. 12).
3. Locate lances in unit base insulation that are placed over the
