Unit Start−Up
IMPORTANT
If unit is equipped with a crankcase heater, it should be
energized 24 hours before unit start−up to prevent
compressor damage as a result of slugging.
1. Rotate fan to check for binding.
2. Inspect all factory− and field−installed wiring for loose
connections.
3. After evacuation is complete, open both the liquid and
vapor line service valves to release the refrigerant
charge contained in outdoor unit into the system.
4. Replace the stem caps and tighten to the value listed
in table 1.
5. Check voltage supply at the disconnect switch. The
voltage must be within the range listed on the unit’s
nameplate. If not, do not start the equipment until you
have consulted with the power company and the
voltage condition has been corrected.
6. Set the thermostat for a cooling demand. Turn on
power to the indoor indoor unit and close the outdoor
unit disconnect switch to start the unit.
7. Recheck voltage while the unit is running. Power must
be within range shown on the nameplate.
8. Check system for sufficient refrigerant by using the
procedures listed under System Charge.
