Piers
Note: Piers beneath shipping splits must be structurally
sound to support the weight of the unit.

Note: Piers beneath shipping splits must be structurally
sound to support the weight of the unit.
For proper operation, the unit must be installed level (zero
tolerance) in both horizontal axes. For vertical discharge
units, allow space under the unit for supply air ductwork
connections.
Note: Air handlers often include optional factory-
provided casing penetration entry points for field-
provided wiring. Consider overall unit
serviceability and accessibility before mounting,
running wires (power), making cabinet
penetrations, or mounting any components to the
cabinet.
See
"Component Installation," p. 36
installation considerations.
Removing the Shipping Skid
Remove the wooden shipping blocks, wooden toe cleat if
there is one, and end cleats prior to lowering unit into final
position or installing the unit to the roof curb.

Ceiling Suspension
WARNING
Risk of Unit Dropping!
Do not use mounting legs for ceiling suspension,
external isolation, or unit support during module
placement. Mounting legs are designed only to secure
the unit to the floor, housekeeping pad, or platform.
Improper use of the mounting legs as described above
could result in unit dropping and crushing technicians
which could result in death or serious injury, and
equipment damage.
Note: Ceiling suspension is not recommended for units
larger than 28,000 CFM unless using a field-
provided mounting frame.
Using a Field-Provided Mounting Frame
If a field-provided mounting frame is used for ceiling
suspension, the installer/contractor must provide a
ceiling-suspended mounting frame designed to support
the length, width, and weight of the entire air-handling
unit. See
"Dimensions and Weights," p. 12
approximate weights.
Note: It is the building engineer's responsibility to size the
structural channels and to provide the appropriate
hangers.
Structural channels in a field-provided frame can be
mounted parallel to airflow or perpendicular to airflow:
•
For parallel-to-airflow channels, size channels based
on a four-point load distribution (see
Figure 12. Typical suspension method-parallel channels
•
For perpendicular-to-airflow channels, size channels
based on the load distribution of the individual
sections and install the channels so that both ends of
every section are supported (see
Installation - Mechanical
