Shipping Inspection

Always keep the unit upright; laying the unit on its side or top

may cause equipment damage. Shipping damage, and

subsequent investigation is the responsibility of the carrier.

Verify the model number, specifications, electrical

characteristics, and accessories are correct prior to installation.

The distributor 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 of the

installer. The manufacturer assumes no responsibility for

equipment installed in violation of any codes or regulations.

Rated performance is achieved after 20 hours of operation.

Rated performance is delivered at the specified airflow. See

outdoor unit specification sheet for split system models or product

specification sheet for packaged and light commercial models.

Specification sheets can be found at www.goodmanmfg.com

for Goodman

brand products or www.amana-hac.com for

Amana

brand products. Within either website, please select

the residential or commercial products menu and then select

the submenu for the type of product to be installed, such as air

conditioners or heat pumps, to access a list of product pages

that each contain links to that model’s specification sheet.

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

has issued various regulations regarding the introduction

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, Heating and

Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) matched. NOTE: Installation of

unmatched systems is strongly discouraged.

Outdoor units are approved for operation above 55°F in cooling

mode. Operation below 55°F requires the use of an approved

low ambient kit. Note: LAKT01 Low ambient kit cannot be used

with outdoor units containing ECM motors.

Damage to the unit caused by operating the unit in a structure

that is not complete (either as part of new construction or

renovation) is not covered under the warranty.

Installation Clearances

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 unobstructed; 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 circulation only. Consult all appropriate

regulatory codes prior to determining final clearances.

Safe Refrigerant Handling Another important consideration in selecting a location for the unit(s) is the angle to obstructions. Either side adjacent the valves be placed toward the structure provided the side away from the structure maintains minimum service clearance. Corner installations are strongly discouraged. NOT RECOMMENDED B B A C AA C Refrigerants are heavier than air. They can "push out" the oxygen in your lungs or in any enclosed space.
PAGE 3
Insulation is necessary to prevent condensation from forming and dropping from the suction line. Armflex (or satisfactory equivalent) with 3/8” min. wall thickness is recommended. In severe conditions (hot, high humidity areas) 1/2” insulation may be required. Insulation must be installed in a manner which protects tubing from damage and contamination. Do NOT let refrigerant lines come in direct contact with plumbing, ductwork, floor joists, wall studs, floors, and walls.
PAGE 4
System Evacuation 2. “Sweep” the refrigerant line with nitrogen or inert gas during brazing to prevent the formation of copper-oxide inside the refrigerant lines. The POE oils used in R-410A applications will clean any copper-oxide present from the inside of the refrigerant lines and spread it throughout the system. This may cause a blockage or failure of the metering device. Condensing unit liquid and suction valves are closed to contain the charge within the unit.

• If pressure rises above 1000 microns but holds steady below 2000 microns, moisture and/or noncondensibles may be present or the system may have a small leak. Return to step 2: If the same result is encountered check for leaks as previously indicated and repair as necessary then repeat evacuation. Overcurrent Protection • If pressure rises above 2000 microns, a leak is present. Check for leaks as previously indicated and repair as necessary then repeat evacuation.

System Start Up CAUTION CAUTION POSSIBLE REFRIGERANT LEAK To avoid a possible refrigerant leak, open the service valves until the top of the stem is 1/8” from the retainer. POSSIBLE REFRIGERANT LEAK To avoid a possible refrigerant leak, open the service valves until the top of the stem is 1/8” from the retainer. 1. Break vacuum by fully opening liquid and suction base valves. When opening valves with retainers, open each valve only until the top of the stem is 1/8” from the retainer.
PAGE 7
Final Charge Adjustment 1. Purge gauge lines. Connect service gauge manifold to base-valve service ports. Run system at least 10 minutes to allow pressure to stabilize. The outdoor temperature must be 60°F or higher. Set the room thermostat to COOL, fan switch to AUTO, and set the temperature control well below room temperature. 2. Temporarily install a thermometer 4-6" from the compressor on the suction line. Ensure the thermometer makes adequate contact and is insulated for best possible readings.

SPLIT SYSTEMS AIR CONDITIONING AND HEAT PUMP HOMEOWNER’S ROUTINE MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATIONS We strongly recommend a bi-annual maintenance checkup be performed before the heating and cooling seasons begin by a qualified servicer. REPLACE OR CLEAN FILTER CLEAN OUTSIDE COIL (QUALIFIED SERVICER ONLY) IMPORTANT NOTE: Never operate unit without a filter installed as dust and lint will build up on internal parts resulting in loss of efficiency, equipment damage and possible fire.
