Important Safety Instructions
The following symbols and labels are used throughout this
manual to indicate immediate or potential safety hazards. It
is the owner’s and installer’s responsibility to read and com-
ply with all safety information and instructions accompanying
these symbols. Failure to heed safety information increases
the risk of personal injury, property damage, and/or product
damage.
HIGH VOLTAGE!
Disconnect ALL power before servicing.
Multiple power sources may be present.
Failure to do so may cause property damage,
personal injury or death.
WARNING
ONLY individuals meeting the requirements (at a
minimum) of an “Entry Level Technician” as specified
by the Air Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration
Institute (AHRI) may use this information. Attempting
to install or repair this unit without such background
may result in product damage, personal injury, or
death.
Scroll equipped units should never be used to evacuate
the air conditioning system. Vacuums this low can cause
internal electrical arcing resulting in a damaged or failed
compressor.
CAUTION
Shipping Inspection
Always keep the unit upright; laying the unit on its side or top
may cause equipment damage. Shipping damage, and sub-
sequent investigation is the responsibility of the carrier. Verify
the model number, specifications, electrical characteristics,
and accessories are correct prior to installation. The distribu-
tor or manufacturer will not accept claims from dealers for
transportation damage or installation of incorrectly shipped
units.
Codes & Regulations
This product is designed and manufactured to comply with
national codes. Installation in accordance with such codes
and/or prevailing local codes/regulations is the responsibility

The United States Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) has issued various regulations regarding the in-
troduction and disposal of refrigerants. Failure to follow
these regulations may harm the environment and can lead
to the imposition of substantial fines. Should you have
any questions please contact the local office of the EPA.
If replacing a condensing unit or air handler, the system must
be manufacturer approved and Air Conditioning and Refrig-
eration Institute (AHRI) matched. NOTE: Installation of un-
matched systems is strongly discouraged.
Operating the unit in a structure that is not complete (either
as part of new construction or renovation) will void the war-
ranty.
Refer to the unit Specification Sheet for the recommended
indoor model selection. NOTE: This unit must be used with a
purchased single stage room thermostat with 24 VAC con-
trol circuitry.
Installation Clearances
This unit is designed for outdoor installations only. Special
consideration must be given to location of the condensing
unit(s) in regard to structures, obstructions, other units, and
any/all other factors that may interfere with air circulation.
Where possible, the top of the unit should be completely un-
obstructed; however, if vertical conditions require placement
beneath an obstruction there should be a minimum of 60
inches between the top of the unit and the obstruction(s).
The specified dimensions meet requirements for air circula-
tion only. Consult all appropriate regulatory codes prior to
determining final clearances.
Another important consideration in selecting a location for
the unit(s) is the angle to obstructions. Either side adjacent
the valves can be placed toward the structure provided the
side away from the structure maintains minimum service clear-
ance. Corner installations are strongly discouraged.
