SHIPPING DAMAGE

Upon receipt of equipment, the carton should be
checked for external signs of shipping damage. The
skid must remain attached to the unit until the unit is
ready for installation. If damage is found, the receiving
party must contact the last carrier immediately,
preferably in writing, requesting inspection by the
carrier's agent.

UNIT REMOVAL FROM SKID

WARNING
This unit is heavy and requires more than one
person to handle and remove from the skid.
Check unit wheels to ensure that wheels are
locked before removing from skid. Extreme
caution must be taken to prevent injury to
personnel and damage to the unit.
It is recommended that the unit not be removed from
the skid with a forklift.
The shipping brackets on each side of the unit must be
removed and discarded. See Figure 2-A. The return air
grille panel can be removed to provide a place to hold
the unit. The unit can be slid forward on the skid until
the front wheels hang over the edge of the skid. See
Figure 2-B. The unit can be tipped forward and slid
down the edge of the skid until the front wheels touch
the ground. See Figure 2-C. The wheels will not roll.
They are shipped from the factory locked so they will
not roll. The back of the skid will have to be held down
to keep it from tipping up. The skid can be slid out
from under the unit. The unit can then be set upright.

HANDLING UNIT AFTER REMOVAL
FROM SKID
WARNING
Exercise extreme caution when pushing the
unit on the rollers. Handle and push from the
lower 1/3 of the unit. Ensure that debris is
not on the floor where the unit is to be moved
on the rollers. Failure to do so could result in
the unit tipping over and causing bodily injury
and/or damage to the unit.
The unit will have to be turned sideways and removed
from the skid to fit through a 36" doorway. If the door
height allows, the unit can be slid sideways through the
door.
If the unit can not be slid through the door, then the
unit will have to be put on a cart and tipped down
to roll through the door. It is recommended that an
appliance cart be used with a strap to hold the unit on
the cart. The wheels of the unit must be locked. If the
wheels were allowed to roll, the unit could roll off the
cart. The unit should always be carted from the left
side. This is the side where the compressor is located.
See Figure 3. The blade of the appliance cart should
be slid under the wheels of the unit. The strap of the
appliance cart should be placed around the unit and
strapped tightly. Help will be required to tip the unit
back onto the cart. The unit can be leaned far enough
back to be rolled through the door. Be careful when
setting the unit back up to keep from damaging the
unit.
