GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR REPLACING
COMPRESSOR UNIT COMPONENTS
When.replacing.or.repairing.components.which.are.exposed.
to.refrigerant,.proceed.as.follows:
1.
.Push
[STOP]
.key.to.shutdown.the.unit.
2.
.Open.disconnect.switches.for.the.compressor.motor.starter.
and.the.oil.pump.motor.starter.(if.applicable).
3.
Close.discharge.service.valve.
4.
.SLOWLY.vent.the.component.to.low-side.system.pressure.
using.suction.check.valve.bypass..Then.close.suction.service.
valve.and.suction.bypass.valve...
NOTE: Recover or transfer
all refrigerant vapor, in accordance with local ordinances,
before opening to atmosphere. The component MUST
be equalized to atmospheric pressure before opening.
Oil-entrained refrigerant may vapor-
ize, causing a pressure increase.
Repeat venting and recovery pro-
cedure, if necessary.
5.
Make.replacement.or.repair.
6.
Isolate.the.low.pressure.transducer,.PE-4,.to.prevent.dam-
age.during.pressurization.and.leak.test.
7.
.Pressurize.the.unit.and.leak.test.
8.
.Evacuate.the.unit.to.29.88".Hg.(1000.microns).
9.

SUCTION CHECK VALVE BYPASS
A.1/4".angle.valve.(HV-1.on.P.&.I.diagram).is.installed.be-
tween.the.compressor.and.suction.flange.that.can.be.used.
as. a. suction. valve. bypass..This. feature. has. several. uses.
including.reducing.starting.torque,.improving.oil.quality,.and.
relieving.the.refrigerant.to.low.side.for.servicing.
In.most.cases,.the.valve.should.be.left.open.approximately.
1/4.to.1/2.turn.at.all.times..If.the.compressor.back-spins.or.
too.much.oil.foaming.is.experienced.while.venting,.partially.
close.valve.to.slow.speed.of.equalization..If.system.is.on.AUTO.
CYCLE.and.short.cycling.occurs,.the.valve.must.be.closed.

This.section.provides.instructions.for.normal.maintenance,.
a. recommended. maintenance. program,. troubleshooting.
and.correction.guides,.typical.wiring.diagrams,.and.typical.
P.and.I.diagrams.
THIS SECTION MUST BE READ AND
UNDERSTOOD BEFORE ATTEMPT-
ING TO PERFORM ANY MAINTE-
NANCE OR SERVICE TO THE UNIT.
CLOSE ALL COMPRESSOR PACK-
AGE ISOLATION VALVES PRIOR TO
SERVICING THE UNIT. FAILURE TO
DO SO MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY.
NORMAL MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS
When performing maintenance you
must take several precautions to
ensure your safety:
1.
. If.the.unit.is.running,.push
[STOP]
key.to.shut.down.the.
unit.
2.
Disconnect.power.from.unit.before.performing.any.main-
tenance.
3.
Wear.proper.safety.equipment.when.the.compressor.unit.
is.opened.to.the.atmosphere.
4.
. Ensure.adequate.ventilation.
5.
Take.necessary.safety.precautions.required.for.the.refrig-
erant.being.used.
COMPRESSOR SHUTDOWN and START-UP
For seasonal or prolonged shutdown, the following
procedure should be used:
1.
.Push
[STOP]
key.to.shutdown.the.unit.
2.
. Open. the. disconnect. switch. for. the. compressor. motor.
starter.and.oil.pump.motor.starter.(if.applicable)..
3.
Turn.off.power..
4.
Close. suction,. discharge,. suction. check. valve. bypass,.
and.liquid.injection.service.valves..Attach.CLOSED.TAGS..
5.
Shut.off.cooling.water.supply.valve.to.the.oil.cooler,.if.ap-
plicable..Attach.CLOSED.TAG..
6.
Protect.the.oil.cooler.from.ambient.temperatures.below.
freezing.or.remove.the.water.heads.
NOTE: The unit should be inspected weekly during shut-
down. Check for leaks or abnormal pressure. Manually
rotate the compressor. Consult motor manufacturer for
recommendations.
To start up after a seasonal or prolonged shutdown, the
following procedure should be used:
1.
. Perform. routine. maintenance.. Change. oil. and. replace.
filters..Check.strainers.
2.
Any.water.necessary.for.the.operation.of.the.system.that.
may. have. been. drained. or. shut. off. should. be. restored. or.
turned. on.. If. the. oil. cooler. heads. were. removed,. reinstall.
and.remove.tags..
