STEP 1 - Check the outdoor temperatures. 

Subcooling (in cooling mode) is the only recom-

mended method of charging above 55º F ambi-

ent outdoor temperature.  See Section 14.2.

For outdoor temperatures below 55º F, see Sec-
tion 14.3.

Note:

 It is important to return in the spring or 

summer to accurately charge the system in the 
cooling mode when outdoor ambient tempera-
ture is above 55º F.

For best results the indoor temperature should 

be kept between 70º F to 80º F.  

STEP 1 - Use the refrigerant line total length 
and lift measurements from Section 5.3.

Total Line Length = __________ Ft.

Vertical Change (Lift) = __________ Ft.
