SECTION 2. INSTALLER INFORMATION
GENERAL
Read the following instructions completely before
performing the installation.
These instructions are for the use of qualified personnel
specially trained and experienced in the installation of this
type of equipment and related system components. Some
states require installation and service personnel to be licensed.
Unqualified individuals should not attempt to interpret these
instructions or install this equipment.
The single packaged air conditioners are designed for outdoor
installation only and can be readily connected into the existing
high static duct system of a manufactured home. The only
connections needed for installation are the supply and return
ducts, the line voltage, and thermostat wiring. A complete air
conditioning system consists of:
• Single Package Air Conditioner
• Manufactured Home Fittings Kit
• Unit Fittings Kit
• Thermostat
The single package air conditioner is completely assembled,
factory wired, and factory run tested. The units are ready for
easy and immediate installation.
PRE-INSTALLATION CHECK
Before any installation is attempted, the cooling load of the
area to be conditioned must be calculated and a system of the
proper capacity selected. It is recommended that the area to
be conditioned be completely insulated and vapor sealed.
The installer should comply with all local codes and regulations
which govern the installation of this type of equipment. Local
codes and regulations take precedence over any
recommendations contained in these instructions. Consult
local building codes and the National Electrical Code (ANSI
CI) for special installation requirements.
The electrical supply should be checked to determine if
adequate power is available. If there is any question concerning
the power supply, contact the local power company.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT PLACE UNIT UNDER THE HOME.
Inspecting Equipment: All units are securely packed at the
time of shipment and, upon arrival, should be carefully
inspected for damage. Claims for damage (apparent or
concealed) should be filed immediately with the carrier.

INSTALLATION
1. UNPACK THE UNIT
It is recommended that the unit be unpacked at the
installation site to minimize damage due to handling.
CAUTION:
!
Do not tip the unit on its side. Oil may enter the
compressor cylinders and cause starting trouble.
If unit has been set on its side, restore to upright
position and do not run for several hours. Then
run unit for a few seconds. Do this three or four
times with five minutes between runs.
a. Remove the plastic bands from around the unit.
b. Unfold the top and bottom cap flanges.
c. Carefully remove the top cap and tube.
2. SELECT THE BEST LOCATION FOR THE AIR
CONDITIONING UNIT (See Figure 2)
Select a solid, level position, preferably on a concrete slab,
slightly above the grade level, and parallel to the home.
The hot condenser air must be discharged up and away
from the home, and if possible, in a direction with the
prevailing wind.
There should be no obstructions within twelve inches of the
coil which could block the movement of the condenser air.
Do not place the unit in a confined space.
If practical, place the air conditioner where it and the ducts
will be shaded from the afternoon sun when the heat load
is greatest.
Try to select a site for the unit that is as close as possible
to the proposed return grille location.
Keep in mind that the length of the supply and return ducts
should be kept to a minimum with no sharp radiused bends.
