Pre-Installation
Unit Inspection
To protect against loss due to damage incurred in
transit, perform inspection immediately upon receipt of
the unit.
Exterior Inspection
If the job site inspection reveals damage or material
shortages, file a claim with the carrier immediately.
Specify the type and extent of the damage on the bill of
lading before signing. Notify the appropriate sales
representative.
I I m m p p o o r r t t a a n n t t : : Do not proceed with installation of a
damaged unit without sales
representative's approval.
•
Visually inspect the complete exterior for signs of
shipping damages to unit or packing material.
•
Verify that the nameplate data matches the sales
order and bill of lading.
•
Verify that the unit is properly equipped and there
are no material shortages.
N N o o t t e e : : Corrosion due to dirt, road grim, road salt, and
other contaminates picked up during shipping is
not the responsibility of the carrier.
Inspection for Concealed Damage
Visually inspect the components for concealed damage
as soon as possible after delivery and before it is
stored.
If concealed damage is discovered:
•
Notify the carrier's terminal of the damage
immediately by phone and by mail.
•
Concealed damage must be reported within 15
days.
•
Request an immediate, joint inspection of the
damage with the carrier and consignee.
•
Stop unpacking the unit.
•
Do not remove damaged material from receiving
location.
•
Take photos of the damage, if possible.
•
The owner must provide reasonable evidence that
the damage did not occur after delivery.

Repair
Notify the appropriate sales representative before
arranging unit installation or repair.
I I m m p p o o r r t t a a n n t t : : Do not repair unit until the damage has
been inspected by the carrier's
representative.
Storage Requirements
Extended storage of outdoor unit prior to installation
requires these precautionary measures:
•
Store the outdoor unit in a secure area.
•
For units that have been charged with refrigerant,
verify the following valves are closed on each
circuit:
–
Suction service valve (butterfly valve)
–
Liquid line angle valve or EXV (EXV is driven
closed whenever circuit is powered)
–
Oil line shutoff valves to brazed plate heat
exchangers
N N o o t t e e : : Units with factory refrigerant charge (model
number digit 15 = 1) are shipped with suction,
liquid and oil line shutoff valves closed, isolating
most of refrigerant charge in the evaporator. If
unit goes directly into long term storage, it is
recommended that these valve positions be
confirmed.
•
For units with nitrogen charge option (model
number digit 15 = 2), units are shipped with valves
open. If unit goes directly into storage prior to
refrigerant charge, confirm all service valves are
open.
•
At least every three months (quarterly), check the
pressure in the refrigerant circuits to verify that the
refrigerant charge is intact. If it is not, contact a
qualified service organization and the appropriate
Trane sales office.
