Use the following checklist in conjunction with the general
checklist (
“General Unit Requirements,” p. 19
that the unit is properly installed and ready for operation.
•
Check all electrical connections for tightness and
“point of termination” accuracy.
•
Verify that the condenser airflow will be unobstructed.
•
Verify that the condenser fan and indoor blower turn
freely without rubbing and are properly tightened on
the shafts.
•
Check the supply fan belts for proper tension and the
fan bearings for sufficient lubrication. If the belts
require adjustment, or if the bearings need lubricating,
refer to the maintenance section of this manual for
instructions.
•
Verify that a condensate trap is installed and the piping
is properly sized and pitched.
•
Verify that the correct size and number of filters are in
place.
•
Inspect the interior of the unit for tools and debris and
install all panels in preparation for starting the unit.
Voltage Imbalance
Three phase electrical power to the unit must meet
stringent requirements for the unit to operate properly.
Measure each leg (phase-to-phase) of the power supply.

WARNING
Hazardous Voltage!
Disconnect all electric power, including remote
disconnects before servicing. Follow proper lockout/
tagout procedures to ensure the power can not be
inadvertently energized. Failure to disconnect power
before servicing could result in death or serious injury.
