Removing The Shipping Skid; Ceiling Suspension; Using Integral Base Frame; Using A Field-Provided Mounting Frame - Trane CSAA Installation, Operation And Maintenance Manual

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!
Improper use of the mounting legs could result in unit
dropping and crushing technicians which could result in
death or serious injury, and equipment damage. 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.
Note: Ceiling suspension is not recommended for units
larger than size 57 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. 11
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 24. 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
CLCH-SVX07K-EN

Using Integral Base Frame

Figure 24.
If using the factory-provided integral base frame for ceiling
suspension, individual sections and/or subassemblies will
have base frame shipping splits and base frame lifting
lugs. When using the base frame for ceiling suspension:
•
•
The hanger rods must extend through the bottom of the
base lug. It is the building engineer's responsibility to
provide the appropriate hangers.
Shipping Gussets
