Step 6—Refrigerant Circuit
Inspect all refrigerant tubing connections and the unit base for oil
accumulation annually. Detecting oil generally indicates a
refrigerant leak.
If oil is detected or if low performance is suspected, leak test all
refrigerant tubing using an electronicleak detector, or liquid-- soap
solution. If a refrigerant leak is detected, refer to Check for
Refrigerant Leaks section.
Ifno refrigerant leaksare found andlow performanceissuspected,
refer to Checking and Adjusting Refrigerant Charge section.
Step 7—Indoor Airflow

all supply-- and return-- air grilles are open and free from
obstructions, and that the air filter is clean.
Step 8—Metering Devices--TXV & Accurater Piston
This unit uses 2 types of metering devices. The outdoor metering

a TXV--type device.
Step 9—Pressure Switches
Pressure switches are protective devices wired into control circuit
(low voltage). They shutoff compressorifabnormally high orlow
pressures are present in the refrigeration circuit. These pressure
switches arespecifically designedtooperatewith Puron(R-- 410A)
systems. R--22 pressure switches must not be used as replacements
for the Puron (R -- 410A) system.

Step 10—Loss--of--Charge Switch
This switch is located on the liquid line and protects against low
suction pressures caused by such events as loss of charge, low
