The following check list must be verified
before start-up of unit.
1. Power supply connected and compared with unit
nameplate voltage requirement. (See unit
specifications)
2. Unit properly grounded.
3. Check and tighten all factory and field wiring
connections.
4. Clean air filters installed.
5. Check and adjust belt tension. Belt should deflect
approximately 3/4” to 1” midway on the belt.
6. Condensate drain line is free of obstructions and is
leak free.
7. check level or pitch of unit to be sure that

simple test is to pour water into drain pan of unit and
verify that water flows out of unit. This will also fill
the P-Trap.
8. Outdoor remote condenser properly grounded. (If
equipped)

start if remote condenser equipped.
12. check temperature of air in heat mode. Temperature
should be 10°F to 20°F lower than room
temperature.
13. Check temperature of air in cooling mode (If
equipped). Temperature should be 10°F to 20°F
lower than room temperature.
14. Return humidistat and thermostat to normal settings.
