3. Verify refrigerant tubing is free of kinks or dents and that it
does not touch other unit components.
4. Inspect all electrical connections. Connections must be
clean and tight at the terminals.
5. Remove any blower support packaging (water-to-air units
only).
6. Loosen compressor bolts on units equipped with compres-
sor spring vibration isolation until the compressor rides
freely on the springs. Remove shipping restraints.

achieved by checking compressor Amp draw. Amp draw
will be substantially lower compared to nameplate values.
Additionally, reverse rotation results in an elevated sound
level compared to correct rotation. Reverse rotation will
result in compressor internal overload trip within several
minutes. Verify compressor type before proceeding.
