PRE-START-UP

!WARNING

PERSONAL INJURY HAZARD

Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury or death.

1.Follow recognized safety practices and wear pro- tective goggles when checking or servicing refri- gerant 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 refri- gerant leak is suspected around compressor ter- minals.

5.Never attempt to repair soldered connection while refrigerant system is under pressure.

6.Do not use torch to remove any component. Sys- tem contains oil and refrigerant under pressure. To remove a component, wear protective goggles and proceed as follows:

a.Shut off electrical power and then gas 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.

Proceed as follows to inspect and prepare the unit for initial start-up:

1.Remove all access panels.

2.Read and follow instructions on all WARNING, CAUTION, and INFORMATION labels attached to, or shipped with, unit.

3.Make the following inspections:

a.Inspect for shipping and handling damages such as broken lines, loose parts, or disconnected wires, etc.

b.Inspect for oil at all refrigerant tubing connec- tions and on unit base. Detecting oil generally indicates a refrigerant leak. Leak-test all refri- gerant tubing connections using electronic leak detector, halide torch, or liquid-soap solution.

c.Inspect all field-wiring and factory-wiring con- nections. 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.

b.Make sure that air filter(s) is in place.

c.Make sure that condensate drain trap is filled with water to ensure proper drainage.

d.Make sure that all tools and miscellaneous loose parts have been removed.

START-UP, GENERAL

Unit Preparation

Make sure that unit has been installed in accordance with installation instructions and applicable codes.

Gas Piping

Check gas piping for leaks.

!WARNING

UNIT OPERATION AND SAFETY HAZARD

Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury or death.

Disconnect gas piping from unit when leak testing at pressure greater than 1/2 psig. Pressures greater than 1/2 psig will cause gas valve damage resulting in hazardous condition. If gas valve is subjected to pressure greater than 1/2 psig, it must be replaced before use. When pressure testing field-supplied gas piping at pressures of 1/2 psig or less, a unit connected to such piping must be isolated by manually closing the gas valve.

Return-Air Filters

Make sure correct filters are installed in unit (see Appendix II - Physical Data). Do not operate unit without return-air filters.

Outdoor-Air Inlet Screens

Outdoor-air inlet screen must be in place before operating unit.

Compressor Mounting

Compressors are internally spring mounted. Do not loosen or remove compressor hold down bolts.

Internal Wiring

Check all electrical connections in unit control boxes. Tighten as required.

Refrigerant Service Ports

Each unit system has two 1/4” SAE flare (with check valves) service ports: one on the suction line, and one on the compressor discharge line. Be sure that caps on the ports are tight.

Compressor Rotation

On 3-phase units with scroll compressors, it is important to be certain compressor is rotating in the proper
