and warnings, including labels shipped

your new outdoor system.

Disconnect all electrical power to the 

indoor air handler or furnace before 

removing access panels to perform any 

maintenance. Disconnect power to both 

the indoor and outdoor units. NOTE: 

There may be more than one electrical 

disconnect switch. Electric shock can 

cause personal injury or death.

Although special care has been taken to 

minimize sharp edges in the construction 

of your unit, be extremely careful when 

handling parts or reaching into the unit.

Congratulations on the purchase of your new Trane outdoor unit. 
Your outdoor unit is designed to work with a matched indoor unit 
creating a system that delivers years of dependable service and 
performance.
Your system will cool, filter, and dehumidify the air in your home. 
Additionally, a heat pump heats the air in your home.
As the system circulates air, it also filters it. The system also extracts 
excess moisture from the home to help control humidity in muggy 
summer months.
Acquaint yourself with your new system by spending just a few minutes 
with this booklet. Learn about the operation of your system and the small 
amount of maintenance it takes to keep it operating at peak efficiency.

An outdoor unit is not a household 
appliance. It’s a self‑contained system 
that requires professional maintenance 
and repair.
That’s why attempts at “do‑it‑yourself” 
repairs on an in‑warranty unit may void 
the remainder of your warranty.
Other than performing the simple 
maintenance recommended in this 
manual, you should not attempt to make 
any  adjustments to your system. Your 
dealer will be able to take care of any 
questions or problems you may have.

Help ensure top efficiency by cleaning 
or replacing the filter monthly.*
When your system circulates and filters 
the air in your home, dust and dirt 

particles build up on the filter. Excessive 
accumulation can block the airflow, 
forcing the unit to work harder to maintain 
desired temperatures. And the harder 
your unit works, the more energy it uses.
Clean or replace your filter twice a month 
during seasons when the unit runs more 
often.
When replacing your filter(s), always use 
the same size and type that was originally 
supplied. Filters are available from your 
dealer.
Where disposable filters are used, they 
must be replaced every month with the 
same size as originally supplied.

How to remove your filter.*
Ask your Trane dealer where the filter  
is located in your system and how to 
service it.
Just be sure to replace it with the arrows 
pointing in the direction of the airflow.

*  Before removing the filter, see the owner’s manual 

furnished with the indoor unit.

Efficiency can be maintained  
by keeping the outdoor unit clear  
of snow, ice and debris.
Efficient operation of your outdoor unit 
depends on the free flow of air over the 
coil. Anything that blocks the airflow 
causes the compressor to work harder 
to move the warm air out of your house.
Buildup of snow and ice can restrict 
airflow. As soon as possible after 
accumulation, clean snow from the area 
around the outdoor unit.
To avoid overworking your unit, do not 
plant flowers or shrubbery right next to 
it. Also, make sure that nothing is stacked 
against the sides of the unit or draped 
over it.
Making sure your outdoor unit is kept 
clear at all times helps it work at peak 
efficiency.
