Storage; Pre-Installation - Carrier GT-PX Split Series Installation, Operation & Maintenance Instructions Manual

Inspection
Upon receipt of the equipment, carefully check the shipment
against the bill of lading. Make sure all units have been
received. Inspect the packaging of each unit, and inspect each
unit for damage. Insure that the carrier makes proper notation
of any shortages or damage on all copies of the freight bill and
completes a common carrier inspection report. Concealed
damage not discovered during unloading must be reported
to the carrier within 15 days of receipt of shipment. If not fi led
within 15 days, the freight company can deny the claim without
recourse. Note: It is the responsibility of the purchaser to fi le
all necessary claims with the carrier. Notify your equipment
supplier of all damage within fi fteen (15) days of shipment.

Storage

Equipment should be stored in its original packaging in a
clean, dry area. Store units in an upright position at all times.
Stack units a maximum of 3 units high.
Unit Protection
Cover units on the job site with either the original packaging
or an equivalent protective covering. Cap the open ends of
pipes stored on the job site. In areas where painting, plastering,
and/or spraying has not been completed, all due precautions
must be taken to avoid physical damage to the units and
contamination by foreign material. Physical damage and
contamination may prevent proper start-up and may result in
costly equipment clean-up.
Examine all pipes, fi ttings, and valves before installing any of
the system components. Remove any dirt or debris found in
or on these components.

Pre-Installation

Installation, Operation, and Maintenance instructions
are provided with each unit. Horizontal equipment is
designed for installation above false ceiling or in a ceiling
plenum. Other unit confi gurations are typically installed
in a mechanical room. The installation site chosen should
include adequate service clearance around the unit. Before
unit start-up, read all manuals and become familiar with the
unit and its operation. Thoroughly check the system before
operation.
Prepare units for installation as follows:
1. Compare the electrical data on the unit nameplate with
ordering and shipping information to verify that the
correct unit has been shipped.
2. Keep the cabinet covered with the original packaging
until installation is complete and all plastering, painting,
etc. is fi nished.
3. Verify refrigerant tubing is free of kinks or dents and that
it does not touch other unit components.
4. Inspect all electrical connections. Connections must be
clean and tight at the terminals.

5. Loosen compressor bolts on units equipped with
compressor spring vibration isolation until the
compressor rides freely on the springs. Remove shipping
restraints.
6. REMOVE COMPRESSOR SUPPORT PLATE 1/4"
SHIPPING BOLTS (2 on each side) TO MAXIMIZE
VIBRATION AND SOUND ATTENUATION (R22 indoor
units only).
7. Locate and verify any hot water generator (HWG) or
other accessory kit located in the compressor section.
CAUTION! DO NOT store or install units in corrosive
environments or in locations subject to temperature or
humidity extremes (e.g., attics, garages, rooftops, etc.).
Corrosive conditions and high temperature or humidity can
signifi cantly reduce performance, reliability, and service life.
Always move and store units in an upright position. Tilting
units on their sides may cause equipment damage.
NOTICE! Failure to remove shipping brackets from spring-
mounted compressors will cause excessive noise, and could
cause component failure due to added vibration.
CAUTION! CUT HAZARD - Failure to follow this caution
may result in personal injury. Sheet metal parts may have
sharp edges or burrs. Use care and wear appropriate
protective clothing, safety glasses and gloves when
handling parts and servicing heat pumps.
