Section 1. Safety ! WARNINGThis information is intended for use by individualspossessing adequate backgrounds of electrical andmechanical experience. Any attempt to repair a centralair conditioning product may result in personal injuryand/or property damage. The manufacture or sellercannot be responsible for the interpretation of thisinformation, nor can it assume any liability in connection with its use. ! WARNINGThese units use R-410A refrigerant which operatesat 50 to 70% higher pressures than R-22. Use onlyR-410A approved service equipment. Refrigerantcylinders are painted a “Rose” color to indicate thetype of refrigerant and may contain a “dip” tube toallow for charging of liquid refrigerant into the system. All R-410A systems use a POE oil that readilyabsorbs moisture from the atmosphere. To limit this“hygroscopic” action, the system should remain sealedwhenever possible. If a system has been open to theatmosphere for more than 4 hours, the compressor oilmust be replaced. Never break a vacuum with air andalways change the driers when opening the systemfor component replacement. For specific handlingconcerns with R-410A and POE oil, reference RetrofitBulletin SS-APG006-EN and APP-APG012-EN. !

5.5 Reuse Existing Refrigerant Lines! CAUTION If using existing refrigerant lines make certainthat all joints are brazed, not soldered.For retrofit applications, where the existingindoor evaporator coil and/or refrigerant lineswill be used, the following precautions shouldbe taken: Ensure that the indoor evaporator coil andrefrigerant lines are the correct size. Ensure that the refrigerant lines are free ofleaks, acid, and oil.Important: For more information see publication number SS-APG006-EN.Section 6. Refrigerant Line Routing6.1 PrecautionsImportant: Take precautions to prevent noisewithin the building structure due to vibrationtransmission from the refrigerant lines.Comply with National, State, and Local Codes whenisolating line sets from joists, rafters, walls, or otherstructural elements.For Example: When the refrigerant lines have to be fastened to floor joists or other framing in a structure, use isolation typehangers. Isolation hangers should also be used when refrigerant lines are run in stud spaces or enclosed ceilings. Where the refrigerant lines run through a wall or sill, they should be insulated and isolated. Isolate the lines from all ductwork. Minimize the number of 90º turns.8 Feet MaximumJoist/RafterIsolatorSide View8 Feet MaximumLine SetSecure Vapor line from joists using isolators every 8 ft.
