Rigging And Handling; Unit Location - Trane LPC Install And Operation Instructions

Rigging and Handling

Before preparing the unit for lifting,
estimate the approximate center of
gravity for lifting safety. Unit weight may
be unevenly distributed with more
weight in the coil area. Approximate unit
weights are given in the Dimensions and
Weights section and on the unit
nameplate.
Before hoisting the unit into position, use
a proper rigging method such as straps,
slings, or spreader bars for protection
and safety. Always test-lift the unit (at
least 24 inches) to determine the exact
unit balance and stability before hoisting
it to the installation location.
WARNING
Improper Unit Lift!
Test lift unit approximately 24 inches
to verify proper center of gravity lift
point. To avoid dropping unit,
reposition lifting point if unit is not
level. Failure to properly lift unit could
result in death, serious injury, or
possible equipment or property-only
damage.

Unit Location

Recommendations
When selecting and preparing the
installation location, follow these
recommendations.
1. Consider the unit weight. Reference the
unit weight on the unit nameplate or in
the Dimensions and Weights section.
2. Allow sufficient space for
recommended clearances, access
panel removal, and maintenance
access. Refer to Figure I-PC-1.
3. The installer must provide threaded
suspension rods for ceiling mounted
units. All units must be installed level.
4. Coil piping and condensate drain
requirements must be considered.
Allow room for proper ductwork and
electrical connections. Support all piping
and ductwork independently of unit to
prevent excess noise and vibration.

Installation
Skid Removal
The unit ships on skids that provide forklift
locations from the front or rear. The skid
allows easy maneuverability of the unit
during storage and transportation.
Remove the skids before placing the unit
in its permanent location.
Remove the skids using a forklift or jack.
Lift one end of the unit off of the skids.
Vibration isolators for external isolation
are field supplied. See Figure I-PC-1 for
installation recommendations.
Rotating Filter Door Swing
The unit ships with the fillter doors in a
downstream configuration. To allow the
doors to swing in an upstream
configuration, follow the steps listed in the
figure below.

pre-installation
considerations
Step 1: Remove screws
holding hinges to
fixed panel near
coil
Step 2: Repeat Step 1
on opposite side
of unit
Step 3: Swap doors to their opposite
sides. Hinges will now be
located on the upstream side
of the fan
Step 4: Use self drilling screws
removed in steps 1 & 2
to secure hinges to
adjacent upstream panel
