‡ Approximate charge shown for 15’ of 3/8” liquid line. System charge must be
adjusted per final charge adjustment (Page 7.)
2. Set thermostat to call for cooling. Check indoor and out-
door fan operation and allow system to stabilize for 10
minutes for fixed orifices and 20 minutes for expansion
valves.
Charge Verification
REFRIGERANT UNDER PRESSURE!
• Do not overcharge system with refrigerant.
• Do not operate unit in a vacuum or at negative pres-
sure.
Failure to follow proper procedures may cause
property damage, personal injury or death.
WARNING
Use refrigerant certified
standards. Use of used
refrigerant may cause compressor damage that is not
covered under warranty. Most portable machines cannot
clean used refrigerant to meet
tandards.

CAUTION
NOTICE
Violation of EPA regulations may result in fines or other
penalties.
Operating the compressor with the suction valve closed
may cause serious compressor damage.
CAUTION
Final Charge Adjustment
The outdoor temperature must be 60°F or higher. Set the room
thermostat to COOL, fan switch to AUTO, and set the tem-
perature control well below room temperature.
After system has stabilized per startup instructions, check
subcooling and superheat as detailed in the following section.
Fixed Orifice
CAUTION
To prevent personal injury, carefully connect and disconnect
manifold gauge hoses. Escaping liquid refrigerant can cause
burns. Do not vent refrigerant into the atmosphere. Recover
all refrigerant during system repair and before final unit
disposal.
1. Purge gauge lines. Connect service gauge manifold to
base-valve service ports. Run system at least 10 minutes
to allow pressure to stabilize.
2. Temporarily install thermometer on suction (large) line
near suction line service valve with adequate contact and
insulate for best possible reading.
3. Refer to the superheat table provided for proper system
superheat. Add charge to lower superheat or recover
charge to raise superheat.
4. Disconnect manifold set, installation is complete.
Superheat Formula = Suct. Line Temp. - Sat. Suct. Temp.
Expansion Valve System
1. Purge gauge lines. Connect service gauge manifold
tobase-valve service ports. Run system at least 10 min-
utes to allow pressure to stabilize.
2. Temporarily install thermometer on liquid (small) line near
liquid line service valve with adequate contact and insu-
late for best possible reading.
3. Check subcooling and superheat. Systems with TXV ap-
plication should have a subcooling of 7 ± 2 ºF and super-
heat of 8 ± 1 ºF.
a.
If subcooling and superheat are low,
adjust
TXV to
8 ± 1 ºF superheat, then check subcooling.
NOTE:
To adjust superheat, turn the valve stem clock-
wise to increase and counter clockwise to decrease.
b.
If subcooling is low and superheat is high,
add
charge
to raise subcooling to 7 ± 2ºF then check super-
heat.
c.
If subcooling and superheat are high,
adjust
TXV
valve to 8 ± 1 ºF superheat, then check subcooling.
d.
If subcooling is high and superheat is low,
adjust
TXV valve to 8 ± 1 ºF superheat and
remove
charge
to lower the subcooling to 7 ± 2ºF.
NOTE:
Do
NOT
adjust the charge based on suction pres-
sure unless there is a gross undercharge.
4. Disconnect manifold set, installation is complete.
Subcooling Formula = Sat. Liquid Temp. - Liquid Line Temp.
NOTE
: Check the Schrader ports for leaks and tighten valve
cores if necessary. Install caps finger-tight.
