appropriate sections throughout this
manual. Read these carefully.
WARNING
Indicates a potentially hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, could
result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION
Indicates a potentially hazardous

only accidents.
Overview of Manual
Note: One copy of this document
ships with each unit and is
customer property. It must be
retained by the customer.
This booklet describes proper
installation, operation, and
maintenance procedures for PTACs.
By carefully reviewing the
information within this manual and
following the instructions, the risk of
improper operation and/or
component damage will be
minimized.
It is important that periodic
maintenance be performed to help
assure trouble free operation. A
maintenance schedule is provided at
the end of this manual. Should
equipment failure occur, contact a
service organization with qualified,
experienced HVAC technicians to
properly diagnose and repair this
equipment.
Important
Environmental Concerns!
Scientific research has shown that
certain man-made chemicals can
affect the earth’s naturally occurring
stratospheric ozone layer when
released to the atmosphere.
In particular, several of the identified
chemicals that may affect the ozone
layer are refrigerants that contain
Chlorine, Fluorine and Carbon (CFCs)
and those containing Hydrogen,
Chlorine, Fluorine and Carbon
(HCFCs).
Not all refrigerants containing these
compounds have the same potential
impact to the environment.
The manufacturer advocates the
responsible handling of all
refrigerants—including industry
replacements for CFCs such as
HCFCs and HFCs.
Responsible Refrigerant
Practices!
The manufacturer believes that
responsible refrigerant practices are
important to the environment, our
customers, and the air conditioning
industry.
All technicians who handle
refrigerants must be certified. The
Federal Clean Air Act (Section 608)
sets forth the requirements for
handling, recovering, recycling and
reclaiming of certain refrigerants and
the equipment that is used in these
service procedures.
In addition, some states or
municipalities may have additional
requirements that must also be
adhered to for responsible
management of refrigerants. Know
the applicable laws and follow them.
WARNING
Hazardous Voltage with
Capacitators!
Disconnect all electric power,
including remote disconnects before
servicing. Follow proper lockout/
tagout procedures to ensure the
power can not be inadvertently
energized. Failure to disconnect
power before servicing could result
in death or serious injury.
Disconnect all electric power,
including remote disconnects and
discharge all motor start/run
capacitors before servicing. Follow
proper lockout/tagout procedures to
ensure the power cannot be
inadvertently energized. Verify with
an appropriate voltmeter that all
capacitors have discharged. Failure
to disconnect power and discharge
capacitors before servicing could
result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION
Use Copper Conductors Only!
Unit terminals are not designed to
accept other types of conductors.
Failure to use copper conductors
may result in equipment damage.
