GENERAL

This instruction covers the installation of the outdoor section of
the natural gas engine driven heating/cooling system.

The outdoor unit is designed to be connected only to a matching
indoor unit with sweat connect copper lines. This outdoor unit is
designed for use only with a matching indoor section or furnace
and matching thermostat and must not be installed in combination
with any other section or thermostat. 

The outdoor unit contains a compressor driven by a specially
designed natural gas fueled one-cylinder engine, reversing
valve, outdoor coil and fan and other components and controls.
The units, using sweat connect fittings, are factory charged with
refrigerant for matching indoor coils plus 15 feet of field supplied
lines. The unit is also charged with glycol. 

INSPECTION

As soon as a unit is received, it should be inspected for possible
damage during transit. If damage is evident, the extent of the
damage should be noted on the carrier’s freight bill. A separate
request for inspection by the carrier’s agent should be made in
writing. See Form 50.15-NM for more information.

REFERENCE

Use this instruction in conjunction with the instructions for the
appropriate indoor unit and accessories.

The installer should pay particular attention to the words NOTE,
CAUTION
 and WARNING.

LIMITATIONS

The unit should be installed in accordance with all national and
local safety codes.

Limitations for the outdoor unit, coil and appropriate accesso-
ries must also be observed.

The outdoor coil must not be positioned with any obstructions in
the air stream. The outdoor fan is the propeller type and is not
designed to operate against any additional external static pressure.

The maximum and minimum conditions for operation must be
observed to assure a system that will give maximum perform-
ance with minimum service. (Refer to Table 1).

LOCATION

Before starting the installation, select and check the suitability
of the location for both the indoor and outdoor unit. Observe all
limitations and clearance requirements. See Figures 1 & 4.

The outdoor unit must have sufficient clearance for air entrance
to the outdoor coil, for air discharge and for service access.
