SECTION I: GENERAL

The outdoor units are designed to be connected to a matching indoor
coil with sweat connect lines. Sweat connect units are factory charged
with refrigerant for the highest sales volume evaporator plus 15 feet of
field supplied lines.

Matching indoor coils are available with a thermal expansion valve or
an orifice liquid feed sized for the most common usage. The orifice size
and/or refrigerant charge may need to be changed for some system
combinations, elevation differences, or total line lengths. See tabular
data sheet provided in unit literature packet for charge requirements.
Refer to Application Data covering “General Piping Recommendations
and Refrigerant Line Length” (Part Number 247077).

SECTION II: SAFETY

This is a safety alert symbol. When you see this symbol on
labels or in manuals, be alert to the potential for personal
injury.

Understand and pay particular attention to the signal words 

DANGER

,

WARNING

, or 

CAUTION

.

DANGER 

indicates an 

imminently

 hazardous situation, which, if not

avoided, 

will result in death or serious injury

.

WARNING 

indicates a 

potentially

 hazardous situation, which, if not

avoided, 

could result in death or serious injury

.

CAUTION 

indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which, if not

avoided 

may result in minor or moderate injury

. It is also used to

alert against unsafe practices and hazards involving only property dam-
age.
