Storage
Outdoor Air Handler Gas Heat Sections
A gas heat section designed for outdoor use requires no special protection during storage. Select
a solid, well-drained area. Concrete or black top surfaces are recommended. If concrete or black top
is not available, set the section on wood timbers to prevent dirt, mud, snow, etc. from getting into
the unit. Keep access doors closed to prevent damage to gas train components.
If needed, cover with a canvas tarp. Covering the unit with clear or black plastic sheets is not
recommended because this material traps condensed moisture, which can cause equipment
damage resulting from rust and corrosion.
Note: Trane warranty does not cover equipment damage due to negligence during storage.
Indoor Air Handler Gas Heat Sections
For a gas heat section designed for indoor use, Trane recommends indoor storage. If outdoor
storage is necessary, select a solid, well-drained area. Concrete or black top surfaces are
recommended. If concrete or black top is not available, set the unit on wood timbers to prevent dirt,
mud, snow, etc. from getting into the module. Keep access doors closed to prevent damage to gas
train components.
Cover the unit with a canvas tarp. Covering the unit with clear or black plastic sheets is not
recommended because this material traps condensed moisture, which can cause equipment
damage resulting from rust and corrosion.
Note: Trane warranty does not cover equipment damage due to negligence during storage.
