especially steel filings, bits of wire, and clips.
(2) The control wiring is correctly connected and all
electrical connections are tight.

remove them now.
(4) The transportation pads for the indoor fan have
been removed. If not, remove them now.

thermostat turning the unit on or off. As indicated in the following procedure, switch out of TEST
RUN when you are finished, or the air conditioner can be damaged because it will not cycle on and
off normally.
❏ To protect the air conditioner from overloading, the outdoor unit will not start running for 3 minutes
after power is applied or the unit is turned OFF.
