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 a nominal sized matching indoor coil plus 15 feet of
field-supplied lines.

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

 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.

 CAUTION

The EEV is factory installed but shipped in the closed position.
Prior to any brazing, power must be applied to the Indoor Unit. If
installing a coil furnace match or multi-piece air handler system,
the EEV harness must be plugged into the Comm port prior to
applying power to the indoor unit. Allow 

1 minute

 for the EEV to

open to allow proper nitrogen flow through the coil and lineset.

!

 WARNING

Improper installation may create a condition where the operation of
the product could cause personal injury or property damage.
