Before attempting to perform any service or
maintenance, turn the electrical power to unit to OFF
at disconnect switch(es). Unit may have multiple
power supplies.

CAUTION

Use caution when removing access panels or other

serious injury may occur.

CAUTION

such as leaves, birds, etc.

CAUTION

WARNING

• Unit was factory tested. All blowers, fans,

and compressors are set-up to run correctly
when supplied power. If any one fan is running
backwards or the compressor is making loud
noises, immediately turn off the power. Switch two
leads on the incoming power to the disconnect.
This will ensure proper operation of the unit. Failure
to comply may damage the compressors and void
the warranty.

• Do not jumper any safety devices when operating

the unit. This may damage components within or
cause serious injury or death.

Every installation requires a comprehensive start-up
to ensure proper operation of the unit. As part of that
process, the following checklist must be completed and
information recorded. Starting up the unit in accordance
with this checklist will not only ensure proper operation,
but will also provide valuable information to personnel
performing future maintenance. Should an issue arise
which requires factory assistance, this completed
document will allow unit experts to provide quicker
resolve. Qualified personnel should perform start-up to
