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.
