!
these units use r-410a refrigerant which operates at 50 to 70%
higher pressures than r-22. Use only r-410a approved service
equipment. refrigerant cylinders are painted a “rose” color to
indicate the type of refrigerant and may contain a “dip” tube to allow
for charging of liquid refrigerant into the system. all r-410a systems
use a Poe/aB oil that readily absorbs moisture from the atmosphere.
to limit this “hygroscopic” action, the system should remain sealed
whenever possible. If a system has been open to the atmosphere for
more than 4 hours, the compressor oil must be replaced. never break
a vacuum with air and always change the driers when opening the
system for component replacement. for specific handling concerns
with r-410a and Poe/aB oil, reference retrofit Bulletin trn-aPG02-
en. check for transportation damage after unit is uncrated. re port
promptly, to the carrier, any damage found to the unit.

The Heat Pump has been designed and manufactured to withstand
and operate in severe winter conditions. However, there are pre-
cautionary steps which should be taken at the time of installation
which will help assure the efficient operation of the unit.
It is rec-
ommended that these precautions be taken for units being
installed in areas where snow accumulation and prolonged
below freezing temperatures occur.
1.
Units should be elevated three (3) to twelve (12) inches above
the pad or roof top, depending on local weather. This additional
height will allow better drainage of snow and ice (melted dur-
ing defrost cycle) prior to its refreezing.
This should prevent a
build-up of ice around the unit which occurs when unit is not
elevated.
Insure that drain holes in unit base pan are
not obstructed preventing draining of defrost water.
2. If possible, avoid locations that are likely to accumulate snow
drifts. If not possible, a snow drift barrier should be installed
around the unit to prevent a build-up of snow on the sides
of the unit and should be of sufficient distance from the unit
to prevent restriction of airflow to and from the unit. Also
allow for proper maintenance space. The barrier should be
constructed of materials which will blend in with the building
design.
3. Avoid locating the unit where condensation and freezing of de-
frost vapor may annoy the customer. For instance, installing
the unit under a bedroom, kitchen, or picture window may be
annoying to the customer since condensate and fog will occur
during the defrost cycle.
4. Avoid locating the unit under the eaves or other overhead
structures as sizeable icicles may form and the unit may be
damaged by these falling icicles.
