R134a Field Charging Procedure
Be certain that the electrical power to the unit is disconnected before performing this
procedure.
Be certain that the electrical power to the unit is disconnected before performing this
procedure.
WARNING
Hazardous Voltage w/Capacitors!
Hazardous Voltage w/Capacitors!
Disconnect all electric power, including remote disconnects before
servicing. Follow proper lockout/tagout procedures to ensure the power
cannot be inadvertently energized. For variable frequency drives or other
energy storing components provided by Trane or others, refer to the
appropriate manufacturer’s literature for allowable waiting periods for
discharge of capacitors. 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.

Factory (initial) Refrigerant Charging Procedure
The initial charging procedure should be followed the first time the unit is charged in
the factory, as well as for charging any time after the charge has been completely
removed from the entire system in the event of repair.

Add the charge through the evaporator service valve.
CAUTION
Evaporator Damage!
Evaporator Damage!
Water must be flowing through the evaporator during the entire
charging process to avoid freezing and rupturing of the evaporator tubes.
Charge first with vapor to avoid freezing tubes.
