Section 1. Safety
This information is intended for use by individuals
possessing adequate backgrounds of electrical and
mechanical experience. Any attempt to repair a central
air conditioning product may result in personal injury
and/or property damage. The manufacture or seller
cannot be responsible for the interpretation of this
information, nor can it assume any liability in connec-
tion with its use.
These units use R-410A refrigerant which operates
at 50 to 70% higher pressures than R-22. Use only
R-410A approved service equipment. Refrigerant
cylinders are painted a “Rose” color to indicate the
type of refrigerant and may contain a “dip” tube to
allow for charging of liquid refrigerant into the sys-
tem. All R-410A systems use a POE oil that readily
absorbs moisture from the atmosphere. To limit this
“hygroscopic” action, the system should remain sealed
whenever possible. If a system has been open to the
atmosphere for more than 4 hours, the compressor oil
must be replaced. Never break a vacuum with air and
always change the driers when opening the system
for component replacement. For specific handling
concerns with R-410A and POE oil reference Retrofit
Bulletins SS-APG006-EN and APP-APG011-EN or
APP-APG012-EN.
Extreme caution should be exercised when opening
the Liquid Line Service Valve. Turn counterclockwise
until the valve stem just touches the rolled edge. No
torque is required. Failure to follow this warning will
result in abrupt release of system charge and may
result in personal injury and /or property damage.
UNIT CONTAINS R-410A REFRIGERANT!
R-410A operating pressures exceed the limit of R-22.
Proper service equipment is required. Failure to use
proper service tools may result in equipment damage
or personal injury.
SERVICE
USE ONLY R-410A REFRIGERANT AND AP-
PROVED POE COMPRESSOR OIL.
LIVE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS!
During installation, testing, servicing, and trouble-
shooting of this product, it may be necessary to work
with live electrical components. Failure to follow all
electrical safety precautions when exposed to live
electrical components could result in death or serious
injury.
If using existing refrigerant lines make certain that all
joints are brazed, not soldered.
Scroll compressor dome temperatures may be hot. Do
not touch the top of compressor; it may cause minor
to severe burning.

When mounting the outdoor unit on a roof, be
sure the roof will support the unit’s weight.
Properly selected isolation is recommended to
alleviate sound or vibration transmission to the
building structure.
1. The maximum TOTAL length of refriger-
ant lines from outdoor to indoor unit should
NOT exceed 150 feet* (including lift).
2. The maximum vertical change should not
exceed 50 feet*.
3. Standard and alternate line sizes and
service valve connection sizes are shown in
Table 5.1.
* See Table 5.1 for exceptions for certain
tonnages.
Note: For other line lengths, Refer to Refriger-
ant Piping Application Guide, SS-APG006-EN

2.3 Suggested Locations for Best Reliability
2.4 Cold Climate Considerations
Ensure the top discharge area is unrestricted for
at least five (5) feet above the unit.
Three (3) feet clearance must be provided in
front of the control box (access panels) and any
other side requiring service.
It is not recommended to install in a location
where noise may distract the building occu-
pants. Some examples of these types of loca-
tions are sleeping quarters and by windows of
a living area. Please discuss location with the
building owner prior to installation.
NOTE: It is recommended that these precau-
tions be taken for units being installed in areas
where snow accumulation and prolonged below
freezing temperatures occur.
• Units should be elevated 3-12 inches above
the pad or rooftop, depending on local
weather. This additional height will allow
drainage of snow and ice melted during
defrost cycle prior to its refreezing. Ensure
that drain holes in unit base pan are not
obstructed preventing draining of defrost
water.
• If possible, avoid locations that are likely to
accumulate snow drifts. If not possible, a
snow drift barrier should be installed around
the unit to prevent a build-up of snow on the
sides of the unit.
Avoid locations such as near windows where
condensation and freezing defrost vapor can
annoy a customer.
Position the outdoor unit a minimum of 12” from
any wall or surrounding shrubbery to ensure
adequate airflow.
Outdoor unit location must be far enough away
from any structure to prevent excess roof runoff
water or icicles from falling directly on the unit.

Section 3. Unit Preparation
3.1 Prepare The Unit For Installation
STEP 1 - Check for damage and report prompt-
ly to the carrier any damage found to the unit.
Section 4. Setting the Unit
4.1 Pad Installation
When installing the unit on a support pad, such
as a concrete slab, consider the following:
• The pad should be at least 1” larger than the
unit on all sides.
• The pad must be separate from any structure.
• The pad must be level.
• The pad should be high enough above grade
to allow for drainage.
• The pad location must comply with National,
State, and Local codes.
For other applications refer to application guide.
If installed within one mile of salt water, including seacoasts and inland waterways, models without factory sup-
plied Seacoast Salt Shields require the addition of BAYSEAC001 (Seacoast Kit) at installation time.

5.5 Reuse Existing Refrigerant Lines
For retrofit applications, where the existing
indoor evaporator coil and/or refrigerant lines
will be used, the following precautions should
be taken:
• Ensure that the indoor evaporator coil and
refrigerant lines are the correct size.
• Ensure that the refrigerant lines are free of
leaks, acid, and oil.
If using existing refrigerant lines make certain
that all joints are brazed, not soldered.
Section 6. Refrigerant Line Routing
6.1 Precautions
Important: Take precautions to prevent noise
within the building structure due to vibration
transmission from the refrigerant lines.
For Example:
• When the refrigerant lines have to be fastened to floor joists or other framing in a structure, use isolation type
hangers.
• Isolation hangers should also be used when refrigerant lines are run in stud spaces or enclosed ceilings.
• Where the refrigerant lines run through a wall or sill, they should be insulated and isolated.
• Isolate the lines from all ductwork.
• Minimize the number of 90º turns.
Comply with National, State, and Local Codes when
isolating line sets from joists, rafters, walls, or other
structural elements.

drier, check liquid line filter drier’s directional flow
arrow to confirm correct direction of refrigeration
flow (away from outdoor unit and toward evapo-
rator coil) as illustrated. Braze the filter drier to
the Liquid Line.
Continue the dry nitrogen purge. Do not remove
the wet rag until all brazing is completed.
Important: Remove the wet rag before stopping
the dry nitrogen purge.
Note: Install drier in Liquid Line.
NOTE:NOTE: Precautions should be taken to avoidPrecautions should be taken to avoid
