A. GENERAL
WARNING
!
This information is intended for use by individuals posses-
sing adequate backgrounds of electrical and mechanical
experience. Any attempt to repair a central air conditioning
product may result in personal injury and or property
damage. The manufacturer or seller cannot be responsible
for the interpretation of this information, nor can it assume
any liability in connection with its use.
The following instructions cover 4TWR4 & 4TWR2 Heat
Pump Units.
NOTE:
These outdoor units are designed to be installed with
approved/matched Trane indoor systems.
WARNING
!
These units use R-410A refrigerant which operates at 50 to
70% higher pressures than R-22. Use only R-410A approved
service equipment. Refrigerant cylinders are painted a "Rose"
color to indicate the type of refrigerant and may contain a
"dip" tube to allow for charging of liquid refrigerant into the
system. All R-410A systems use a POE oil that readily absorbs
moisture from the atmosphere. To limit this "hygroscopic"
action, the system should remain sealed whenever pos-
sible. Never break a vacuum with air and always change the
driers when opening the system for component replacement.
Check for transportation damage after unit is uncrated.
Report promptly, to the carrier, any damage found to the unit.
To determine the electrical power requirements of the unit,
refer to the nameplate of the unit. The electrical power
available must agree with that listed on the nameplate.

assure the efficient operation of the unit. It is recom-
mended that these precautions be taken for units
being installed in areas where snow accumulation and
prolonged below freezing temperatures occur.
1. Units should be elevated 3 to 12 inches above the pad or
rooftop, depending on local weather. This additional
height will allow better drainage of snow and ice (melted
during defrost cycle) prior to its refreezing. This should
prevent a build-up of ice around the unit which occurs
when unit is not elevated. Insure that drain holes in
unit base pan are not obstructed preventing
draining of defrost water.
2. If possible, avoid locations that are likely to accumulate
snow drifts. If not possible, a snow drift barrier should be
installed around the unit to prevent a build-up of snow
on the sides of the unit and should be of sufficient
CAUTION
