SAFETY WARNING
Only qualified personnel should install and service the equipment. The
installation, starting up, and servicing of heating, ventilating, and air-
conditioning equipment can be hazardous and requires specific knowledge and
training.
Improperly installed, adjusted or altered equipment by an unqualified person
could result in death or serious injury. When working on the equipment,
observe all precautions in the literature and on the tags, stickers, and
labels that are attached to the equipment.
The three types of advisories are defined as follows:
WARNING
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could
result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could
result in minor or moderate injury. It could also be used to alert against
unsafe practices.
NOTICE
Indicates a situation that could result in equipment or property-damage only
accidents.
Important Environmental Concerns
Scientific research has shown that certain man-made chemicals can affect the
earth’s naturally occurring stratospheric ozone layer when released to the
atmosphere. In particular, several of the identified chemicals that may affect
the ozone layer are refrigerants that contain Chlorine, Fluorine and Carbon
(CFCs) and those containing Hydrogen, Chlorine, Fluorine and Carbon (HCFCs).
Not all refrigerants containing these compounds have the same potential impact
to the environment. Trane advocates the responsible handling of all
refrigerants.
Important Responsible Refrigerant Practices
Trane believes that responsible refrigerant practices are important to the
environment, our customers, and the air conditioning industry. All technicians
who handle refrigerants must be certified according to local rules. For the
USA, the Federal Clean Air Act Section 608) sets forth the requirements for
handling, reclaiming, recovering and recycling of certain refrigerants and
the equipment that is used in these service procedures. In addition, some
states or municipalities may have additional requirements that must also be
adhered to for responsible management of refrigerants. Know the applicable
laws and follow them.
WARNING
Proper Field Wiring and Grounding Required!
Failure to follow code could result in death or serious injury. All field
wiring MUST be performed by qualified personnel. Improperly installed and
groundedfield wiring poses FIRE and ELECTROCUTION hazards. To avoid these
hazards, you MUST follow requirements for field wiring installation and
grounding as described in NEC and your local/state/national electrical codes.
WARNING
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Required!
Failure to wear proper PPE for the job being undertaken could result in death
or serious injury. Technicians, in order to protect themselves from potential
electrical, mechanical, and chemical hazards, MUST follow precautions in this
manual and on the tags, stickers, and labels, as well as the instructions
below:
- Before installing/servicing this unit, technicians MUST put on all PPE required for the work being undertaken (Examples; cut resistant gloves/ sleeves, butyl gloves, safety glasses, hard hat/bump cap, fall protection, electrical PPE and arc flash clothing). ALWAYS refer to appropriate Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and OSHA guidelines for proper PPE.
- When working with or around hazardous chemicals, ALWAYS refer to the appropriate SDS and OSHA/GHS (Global Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals) guidelines for information on allowable personal exposure levels, proper respiratory protection and handling instructions.
- If there is a risk of energized electrical contact, arc, or flash, technicians MUST put on all PPE in accordance with OSHA, NFPA 70E, or other countryspecific requirements for arc flash protection, PRIOR to servicing the unit. NEVER PERFORM ANY WITCHING, DISCONNECTING, OR VOLTAGE TESTING WITHOUT PROPER ELECTRICAL PPE AND ARC FLASH CLOTHING. ENSURE ELECTRICAL METERS AND EQUIPMENT ARE PROPERLY RATED FOR INTENDED VOLTAGE.
WARNING
Follow EHS Policies!
Failure to follow instructions below could result in death or serious injury.
- All Trane personnel must follow the company’s Environmental, Health and Safety (EHS) policies when performing work such as hot work, electrical, fall protection, lockout/tagout, refrigerant handling, etc. Where local regulations are more stringent than these policies, those regulations supersede these policies.
- Non-Trane personnel should always follow local regulations.

Installation
Horizontal Units (Bottom Access Only)
Figure 1. Right return, back supply ducted filter rack
Note: Filter rack shown is accessible from bottom of the unit.
-
Remove the existing filter rack rail from the unit, and re-use the screws to attach the filter rack to the unit.
-
Filter racks are to be installed on the side of the unit. Slide top flange over the top of cabinet and bottom flange below the bottom of the cabinet.
-
Line the top/bottom holes with the filter rack top and bottom slots; refer to Figure 1.
-
Attach filter rack to cabinet using # 10-16 x 3/8 in. screws. These screws are provided with the unit, three on top and two on bottom.
-
Slide the filter provided with the unit into the filter rack (through the guide rails).
Note: All horizontal units ship with a filter. This same filter can be utilized in the ducted filter rack. -

Close the filter rack access door and make sure the door magnet latches the door shut. This will prevent air from bypassing the filter and getting into the unit.
-
Once the filter rack is installed, seal the filter rack to the unit with duct tape or apply caulk. This will cover any gaps or notches (to clear screw heads).
