Final Checks

IMPORTANT: 

Before leaving job, be sure to do the following:

1. Ensure that all wiring is routed away from tubing and sheet metal

edges to prevent rub-through or wire pinching. 

2. Ensure that all wiring  and  tubing  is  secure  in  unit  before adding

panels and covers. Securely fasten all panels and covers. 

3. Tighten service valve stem caps to 1/12-turn past finger tight.
4. Leave Owner’s Manual with owner. Explain system operation and

periodic maintenance requirements outlined in manual. 

5. Fill out Dealer Installation Checklist and  place in customer file.

Repairing Refrigerant Circuit 

When  breaking into  the refrigerant  circuit  to make  repairs, or for any

other purpose, the following procedures shall be used. 

1. Safely remove the refrigerant using a recovery pump certified for

flammable refrigerants. 

2. Purge the refrigerant circuit with nitrogen gas. 
3. Evacuate the refrigerant circuit to 1500 microns. 
4. Break  vacuum  with  a  nitrogen  purge  of  the  refrigerant  circuit

ensuring that the outlet of the vacuum pump is not near a potential

ignition source. 

5. Open the circuit by cutting or brazing. 

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

For  continuing high performance and  to minimize  possible  equipment

failure, periodic maintenance must be performed on this equipment. 
Frequency of maintenance may vary depending upon geographic areas,

such as coastal applications. See Owner’s Manual for information.
