PRE--START--UP
PERSONAL INJURY HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal
injury or death.
1. Follow recognized safety practices and wear
protective goggles when checking or servicing
refrigerant system.
2. Do not operate compressor or provide any electric
power to unit unless compressor terminal cover is
in place and secured.
3. Do not remove compressor terminal cover until
all electrical sources are disconnected.
4. Relieve all pressure from system before touching
or disturbing anything inside terminal box if
refrigerant leak is suspected around compressor
terminals.
5. Never attempt to repair soldered connection while
refrigerant system is under pressure.
6. Do not use torch to remove any component.
System contains oil and refrigerant under
pressure. To remove a component, wear
protective goggles and proceed as follows:
a. Shut off electrical power to unit.
b. Recover refrigerant to relieve all pressure from
system using both high--pressure and low
pressure ports.
c. Cut component connection tubing with tubing
cutter and remove component from unit.
d. Carefully unsweat remaining tubing stubs
when necessary. Oil can ignite when exposed
to torch flame.

electronic leak detector, halide torch, or
liquid--soap solution.
c. Inspect all field--wiring and factory--wiring
connections. Be sure that connections are
completed and tight. Be sure that wires are not
in contact with refrigerant tubing or sharp edges.
d. Inspect coil fins. If damaged during shipping and
handling, carefully straighten fins with a fin
comb.
4. Verify the following conditions:
a. Make sure that condenser--fan blade are correctly
positioned in fan orifice. See Condenser--Fan
Adjustment section for more details.
