Congratulations on the purchase of your new Trane outdoor unit. Your outdoor unit is designed to work with a matched indoor unit creating a system that delivers years of dependable service and performance.
Your system will cool, filter, and dehumidify the air in your home. Additionally, a heat pump heats the air in your home.
As the system circulates air, it also filters it. The system also extracts excess moisture from the home to help control humidity in muggy summer months.
Acquaint yourself with your new system by spending just a few minutes with this booklet. Learn about the operation of your system and the small amount of maintenance it takes to keep it operating at peak efficiency.
Proper maintenance for maximum efficiency
An outdoor unit is not a household appliance. It’s a self‑contained system that requires professional maintenance and repair.
That’s why attempts at
Other than performing the simple maintenance recommended in this manual, you should not attempt to make any adjustments to your system. Your dealer will be able to take care of any questions or problems you may have.
Help ensure top efficiency by cleaning or replacing the filter monthly.*

To prevent injury, death, or property damage, read and follow all instructions and warnings, including labels shipped with or attached to unit before operating your new outdoor system.
Disconnect all electrical power to the indoor air handler or furnace before removing access panels to perform any maintenance. Disconnect power to both the indoor and outdoor units. NOTE: There may be more than one electrical disconnect switch. Electric shock can cause personal injury or death.
Although special care has been taken to minimize sharp edges in the construction of your unit, be extremely careful when handling parts or reaching into the unit.

particles build up on the filter. Excessive accumulation can block the airflow, forcing the unit to work harder to maintain desired temperatures. And the harder your unit works, the more energy it uses.
Clean or replace your filter twice a month during seasons when the unit runs more often.
When replacing your filter(s), always use the same size and type that was originally supplied. Filters are available from your dealer.
Where disposable filters are used, they must be replaced every month with the same size as originally supplied.
How to remove your filter.*
Ask your Trane dealer where the filter is located in your system and how to service it.
Just be sure to replace it with the arrows pointing in the direction of the airflow.
*Before removing the filter, see the owner’s manual furnished with the indoor unit.

Efficiency can be maintained
by keeping the outdoor unit clear of snow, ice and debris.
Efficient operation of your outdoor unit depends on the free flow of air over the coil. Anything that blocks the airflow causes the compressor to work harder to move the warm air out of your house.
Buildup of snow and ice can restrict airflow. As soon as possible after accumulation, clean snow from the area around the outdoor unit.
To avoid overworking your unit, do not plant flowers or shrubbery right next to it. Also, make sure that nothing is stacked against the sides of the unit or draped over it.
Making sure your outdoor unit is kept clear at all times helps it work at peak efficiency.
