COMPRESSOR
Lubrication
The compressor is charged with the correct amount of oil at the
factory.
Replacing Compressor
NOTE: Only factory-trained service technicians should remove
and replace compressor units.
Compressor Rotation
NOTE: When the compressor is rotating in the wrong direction,
the unit makes an elevated level of noise and does not provide
cooling.
On 3-phase units with scroll compressors, it is important to be cer-
tain compressor is rotating in the proper direction. To determine if
the compressor is rotating in the proper direction:
1. Connect service gages to suction and discharge pressure
fittings.
2. Energize the compressor.
3. The suction pressure should drop and the discharge pres-
sure should rise, as is normal on any start-up.
NOTE: If the suction pressure does not drop and the discharge
pressure does not rise to normal levels, the evaporator fan is prob-
ably also rotating in the wrong direction.
4. Turn off power to the unit.
5. Reverse any two of the three unit power leads.
6. Reapply electrical power to the compressor. The suction
pressure should drop and the discharge pressure should
rise, which is normal for scroll compressors on start-up.
7. Replace compressor if suction/discharge pressures are not
within specifications for the specific compressor.
The suction and discharge pressure levels should now move to
their normal start-up levels.
Filter Drier
Replace whenever refrigerant system is exposed to atmosphere.
Only use factory-specified liquid-line filter driers with working
pressures no lower than 650 psig. Do not install a suction-line fil-
ter drier in liquid line. A liquid-line filter drier designed for use
with Puron refrigerant is required on every unit.
Condenser-Fan Adjustment
1. Shut off unit power supply. Install lockout tag.
2. Remove condenser-fan assembly (grille, motor, and fan).
3. Loosen fan hub setscrews.
4. Adjust fan height as shown in Fig. 30.
5. Tighten setscrews.
6. Replace condenser-fan assembly.

See Fig. 31 for a typical piping schematic.
CAUTION
UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in damage to compo-
nents.
The compressor is in a Puron
®
refrigerant system and uses a
polyolester (POE) oil. This oil is extremely hygroscopic,
meaning it absorbs water readily. POE oils can absorb
15 times as much water as other oils designed for HCFC and
CFC refrigerants. Avoid exposure of the oil to the atmosphere.
WARNING
FIRE, 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 for
operating refrigerant compressors. Pressurized mixtures of air
or gases containing oxygen can lead to an explosion.
WARNING
FIRE, EXPLOSION HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in death, serious
personal injury and/or property damage.
Never use non-certified refrigerants in this product. Non-certi-
fied refrigerants could contain contaminates that could lead to
unsafe operating conditions. Use ONLY refrigerants that con-
form to AHRI Standard 700.
CAUTION
INSTALLATION SITE DAMAGE
Failure to follow this caution can result in damage to equip-
ment location site.
Puron (R-410A) refrigerant contains polyolester (POE) oil that
can damage the roof membrane. Caution should be taken to
prevent POE oil from spilling onto the roof surface.
The factory also recommends that the suction and discharge
lines be cut with a tubing cutter instead of using a torch to re-
move brazed fittings.
CAUTION
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution can result in premature wear and
damage to equipment.
Scroll compressors can only compress refrigerant if rotat-
ing in the right direction. Reverse rotation for extended
times can result in internal damage to the compressor.
Scroll compressors are sealed units and cannot be repaired
on site location.
