Only trained and qualified service personnel should install or service air conditioning equipment. Untrained personnel can perform basic maintenance, such as cleaning and replacing filters. All other operations should be performed by trained service personnel. When working on air conditioning equipment, observe precautions in literature and on tags and labels attached to unit. Follow all safety codes. Wear safety glasses and work gloves. Use quenching cloth for brazing operations. Have fire extinguisher available. Read these instructions thoroughly. Consult local building codes and National Electrical Code (NEC) for special installation requirements. A WARNING Before installing or servicing system, always turn off main power to system. There may be more than one disconnect switch. Turn off accessory heater power if applicable. Electrical shock can cause personal injury.

INSPECT SHIPMENT — File claim with shipping company if shipment is damaged or incomplete. CONSIDER SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS • Consult local building codes and National Electrical Code (NEC) for special installation requirements. • Allow sufficient space for airflow clearance, wiring, refrigerant piping, and servicing unit. See Fig. I. • Locate unit so that condenser airflow is unrestricted on all sides and above. Refer to Fig. I. • Unit may be mounted on a level pad directly on base channels or mounted on raised pads at support points. See Table 2 for weight distribution based on recommended support points. NOTE: If vibration isolators are required for a particular installation, use data in Table 2 to make proper selection. Step 2 — Rig and Mount the Unit A CAUTION Be sure unit panels are securely in place prior to rigging. RIGGING — These units are designed for overhead rigging only. Traverse base channels are provided with l -1 / 2 in. rigging holes that are located 1-3/4 in. from each end. Rig with top skid packaging assembly and wood bumper strips in place to prevent unit damage by rigging cable. As further protection for coil faces, plywood sheets may be placed against sides of unit, behind cables. Run cables to a central suspension point so that angle from the horizontal is not less than 45 degrees. Raise and set unit down carefully. If it is necessary to roll unit into position, mount unit on longitudinal rails, using a minimum of 3 rollers. Apply force to rails, not unit. If unit is to be skidded into position, place it on a large pad and drag it by the pad. Do not apply any force to unit. Raise from above to lift unit from rails or pad when unit is in final position. Manufacturer reserves the right to discontinue, or change at any time, specifications or designs without notice and without incurring obligations.
