INSTALLATION
Step 1 -- Unpack
and Inspect
Units
--
Units
are
packaged
for shipment
to avoid damage during normal transit
and handling. It is the receiving party's responsibility
to inspect
the equipment upon arrival. Any obvious damage to the carton
and/or its contents should be reported on the bill of lading and a
claim should be filed with the transportation
company
and the
factory. Unit should always be stored in a dry place, and in the
proper orientation
as marked on the carton.
To avoid equipment
damage, do not lift unit by the drain
pipe or refrigerant
piping.
Unit should be lifted using the
mounting brackets.
After determining
the condition
of the carton exterior, care-
fully remove
each unit from the carton and inspect for hidden
damage.
Check to make sure that items such as thermostats,
controller
etc. are accounted
for whether packaged
separately
or shipped at a later date. Any hidden damage should be re-
corded, a claim should be filed with the transportation
compa-
ny, and the factory should be notified. In the event a claim for
shipping
damage
is filed, the unit, shipping
carton, and all
packing must be retained
for physical inspection
by the trans-
portation
company.
All units should be stored in the factory
shipping
carton with internal packaging
in place until installa-
tion.
PROTECTING
UNITS
FROM DAMAGE
-- Do not apply
force or pressure to the coil, piping, or drain stub-outs
during
handling. All units should be handled by the chassis or as close
as possible to the unit mounting point locations.
The unit must always
be properly
supported.
Temporary
supports used during installation
or service must be adequate to
hold the unit securely.
To maintain
warranty,
protect
units
against hostile
enviromnents
(such as rain, snow or extreme
temperature),
theft, vandalism,
and debris on jobsite.
Equip-
ment covered in this manual is not suitable for outdoor installa-
tions. Do not allow foreign material to fall into drain pan. Pre-
vent dust and debris from being deposited on motor, fan wheels
and coils. Failure to do so may have serious adverse effects on
unit operation
and in the case of motor and blower assembly,
may result in ilmnediate
or premature
failure. Failure of any
unit caused by deposits
of foreign
material
on the motor or
blower wheels will not be covered by the manufacturer's
war-
ranty. Some units and/or job conditions
may require some form
of temporary
covering during construction.
PREPARING
JOBSITE
FOR UNIT
INSTALLATION
--
To save time and to reduce the possibility
of costly errors, set
up a complete
sample installation
in a typical room at jobsite.
Check all critical dimensions
such as pipe, wire, and duct con-
nection
requirements.
Refer
to job
drawings
and product
dimension
drawings
as required.
Instruct
all trades in their
parts of the installation.
Units must be installed
in compliance
with all applicable local code requirements.
