Outdoor Unit – 

Owner’s Information

Congratulations on the purchase of your new Trane outdoor unit. Your outdoor unit is de-

signed to work with a matched indoor unit creating a system that delivers years of depend-

able service and performance. 

Proper Maintenance* 

Your system requires maintenance and repair by a properly trained service technician.  “Do‑it‑yourself” 

repairs on an in‑warranty unit may void your warranty.
Other than performing the simple  main tenance recommended below, you should not attempt to make 

any  adjustments or repairs to your system. Your dealer can assist you with questions or problems.

1) Replace the air filter(s)

A clean filter saves you money by helping ensure top system efficiency.  
When replacing your filter(s), always use the same size and type that was originally supplied or consult 

with your dealer for recommendations. Be sure to replace it with the arrows pointing in the direction of 

the airflow. 
Where disposable filters are used, they must be replaced every month with the same size as originally 

supplied.   Clean or replace your filter twice a month during seasons when the unit runs more often.
Ask your dealer where the filter is located in your system and how to service it. 

2) Maintain free outdoor coil airflow

Efficient operation of your system depends on the free flow of air over outdoor unit’s coil.
Do not plant flowers or shrubbery right next to the unit. Also, make sure that nothing is stacked against 

the sides of the unit or draped over it. 
Buildup of snow and ice can restrict airflow. As soon as possible after accumulation, clean snow from the 

area around the outdoor unit.

3) Clean the finish

To keep your system looking new for years, clean the enamel finish with soap and water. For stubborn 

grease spots, use a household detergent. Do not use lacquer thinner or other synthetic solvents as they 

may damage the finish.

4) Call your dealer for additional routine maintenance

Your system should be inspected at least once per year by a properly trained service technician. 
Ask your dealer about economical service or preventative maintenance agreements that cover seasonal 

inspections.  

Optional extended warranties are also available.

CAUTIONS

Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service, 

maintenance, or use can cause explosion, fire, electrical 

shock, or other conditions which may cause personal 

injury or property damage. Consult a qualified installer or 

service agency for information or assistance. 

If heating system is not operational during the cold weather months, provisions must be 

taken to prevent freeze-up of all water pipes and water receptacles. This is very important 

during times of vacancy.

4.

Condensate drains should be checked and cleaned periodically to assure condensate can 

drain freely from coil to drain.  If condensate cannot drain freely, water damage could occur.
