3. There should be no obstacle, like a fence, within 20"  
which might restrict heat radiation from the condenser.  
4. To prevent reducing performance, install the unit so that  
louvers of the cabinet are not blocked.  
FENCE  
AWNING  
5. Install the unit a little obliquely outward not to leak the  
condensed water into the room (about 1/2" or 1/4 bubble  
with level).

NOTICE  
- Replacement of the refrigeration cycle.  
1. When replacing the refrigeration cycle, be sure to  
discharge the refrigerant system using a FreonTM  
recovery System.  
6. Recharge as follows :  
If there is no valve to attach the recovery system,  
install one (such as a WATCO A-1) before venting  
the FreonTM. Leave the valve in place after  
servicing the system.  
1) Refrigeration cycle systems are charged from the  
High-side. If the total charge cannot be put in the  
High-side, the balance will be put in the suction  
line through the access valve which you installed  
as the system was opened.  
2. After discharging the unit completely, remove the  
desired component, and unbrace the pinch-off tubes.  
2) Connect the charging cylinder as shown in Fig.  
35B.  
3. Solder service valves into the pinch-off tube ports,  
leaving the valves open.  
With valve C open, discharge the hose at the  
manifold connection.  
4. Solder the pinch-off tubes with Service valves.  
5. Evacuate as follows.  
3) Open valve A and allow the proper charge to  
enter the system. Valve B is still closed.  
1) Connect the vacuum pump, as illustrated Fig. 35A.  
2) Start the vacuum pump, slowly open manifold  
valves A and B with two full turns counterclock-  
wise and leave the valves closed.  
4) If more charge is required, the high-side will not  
take it. Close valve A.  
5) With the unit running, open valve B and add the  
balance of the charge.  
The vacuum pump is now pulling through valves A  
and B up to valve C by means of themanifold  
and entire system.  
a. Do not add the liquid refrigerant to the Low-  
side.  
b. Watch the Low-side gauge; allow pressure to  
rise to 30 lbs.  
CAUTION: If high vacuum equip-  
ment is used, just crack valves A  
and B for a few minutes, then  
c. Turn off valve B and allow pressure to drop.  
d. Repeat steps B and C until the balance of the  
charge is in the system.  
open slowly with the two full turns coun-  
terclockwise. This will keep oil from  
foaming and being drawn into the vacu-  
um pump.  
6) When satisfied the unit is operating correctly, use  
the pinch-off tool with the unit still running and  
clamp on to the pinch-off tube. Using a tube cut-  
ter, cut the pinch-off tube about 2 inches from the  
pinch-off tool. Use sil-fos solder and solder pinch-  
off tube closed. Turn off the unit, allow it to set for  
a while, and then test the leakage of the pinch-off  
connection.  
3) Operate the vacuum pump for 20 to 30 minutes,  
until 600 microns of vacuum is obtained. Close  
valves A and B, and observe vacuum gauge for  
a few minutes. A rise in pressure would indicate a  
possible leak or moisture remaining in the sys-  
tem. With valves A and B closed, stop the vacu-  
um pump.  
4) Remove the hose from the vacuum pump and  
place it on the charging cylinder. See Fig. 35B.  
Open valve C.  
Discharge the line at the manifold connection.  
5) The system is now ready for final charging.

Troubleshooting Guide  
Troubleshooting Guide  
In general, possible trouble is classified in two kinds.  
The one is called Starting Failure which is caused from an electrical defect, and the other is ineffective Air  
Conditioning caused by a defect in the refrigeration circuit and improper application.  
Unit runs but poor cooling.  
Ineffective Cooling  
Check cold air circulation  
for smooth flow.  
Check outdoor coil  
(heat exchanger) & the fan  
operation.

COMPLAINT  
CAUSE  
Thermostat  
REMEDY  
Compressor will not run,  
but fan motor runs.  
Check the position of knob If not at the coldest set-  
ting, advance the knob to this setting and restart  
unit.  
Check continuity of the thermostat. Replace ther-  
mostat if circuit is open.  
Capacitor (Discharge  
Check the capacitor.  
capacitor before servicing.)  
Replace if not within ±10% of manufacturers rat-  
ing. Replace if shorted, open, or damaged.  
Compressor  
Overload  
Check the compressor for open circuit or ground. If  
open or grounded, replace the compressor.  
Check the compressor overload, if externally  
mounted. Replace if open. (If the compressor tem-  
perature is high, remove the overload, cool it, and  
retest.)  
Voltage  
Compressor cycles on  
overload.  
Check the voltage.  
If not within limits, call an electrician.  
Overload  
Check overload, if externally mounted.  
Replace if open. (If the compressor temperature is  
high, remove the overload, cool, and retest.)  
Fan motor  
If not running, determine the cause. Replace if  
required.  
Compressor cycles on  
overload.  
Condenser air flow restric-  
tion  
Remove the cabinet. inspect the interior surface of  
the condenser; if restricted, clean carefully with a  
vacuum cleaner (do not damage fins) or brush.  
Clean the interior base before reassembling.  
Condenser fins (damaged)  
If condenser fins are closed over a large area on  
the coil surface, head pressures will increase,  
causing the compressor to overload. Straighten  
the fins or replace the coil.  
Capacitor  
Test capacitor.  
Compressor cycles on  
overload.  
Wiring

Check the set screw or clamp. If loose or missing,  
correct. If the blower or fan is hitting air guide,  
rearrange the air handling parts.  
Remove the cabinet carefully and rearrange tubing  
not to contact cabinet, compressor, shroud, and  
barrier.  
Auto air-swing fails.
