To avoid equipment damage, DO NOT use these 

units as a source of heating or cooling during the 

construction process. The mechanical components 

and filters used in these units will quickly become 

clogged with construction dirt and debris which 

may cause system damage.
To avoid the release of refrigerant into the 

atmosphere, the refrigerant circuit of this unit 

must be serviced only by technicians who meet 

local, state and federal proficiency requirements.
All refrigerant discharged from this unit must be 

recovered WITHOUT EXCEPTION. Technicians 

must follow industry accepted guidelines and all 

local, state and federal statutes for the recovery 

and disposal of refrigerants.
If a compressor is removed from this unit, 

system refrigerant circuit oil will remain in the 

compressor. To avoid leakage of compressor oil, 

the refrigerant lines of the compressor must be 

sealed after it is removed.

 

The installation of geothermal heat pump units and all 
associated components, parts and accessories which 
make up the installation shall be in accordance with 
the regulations of ALL authorities having jurisdiction 
and MUST conform to all applicable codes. It is the 
responsibility of the Installing Contractor to determine and 
comply with ALL applicable codes and regulations.

Pre-Installation

Installation, operation and maintenance instructions 
are provided with each unit. Before unit start-up, read 
all manuals and become familiar with the unit and its 
operation. Thoroughly check the system before operation.
Prepare units for installation as follows:
1.  Compare the electrical data on the unit nameplate 

with ordering and shipping information to verify the 
correct unit has been shipped.

2.  Keep the cabinet covered with the shipping carton 

until installation is complete and all plastering, 
painting, etc., is finished.

3.  Verify refrigerant tubing is free of kinks or dents and 

that it does not touch other unit components.

4.  Inspect all electrical connections. Connections must 

be clean and tight at the terminals.

 

Remove Fan Motor shipping bracket in rear of 

Air Handler compartment.
