NOTE TO INSTALLER - READ THESE INSTRUC-
TIONS CAREFULLY AND COMPLETELY before install-
ing this unit (Fig. 1). Also, make sure the User's Manual and
Replacement Guide are left with the unit after installation.

SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

Installation and servicing of air-conditioning equipment
can be hazardous due to system pressure and electrical com-
ponents. Only trained and qualified personnel should
install, repair, or service air-conditioning equipment.
Untrained personnel can perform basic maintenance func-
tions of cleaning coils and filters. All other operations should
be performed by trained service personnel. When working
on air-conditioning equipment, observe precautions in the
literature, tags and labels attached to the unit, and other safety
precautions that may apply.
Manufacturer reserves the right to discontinue, or change at any time, specifications or designs without notice and without incurring obligations.

Follow all safety codes. Wear safety glasses and work gloves.
Use quenching cloth for unbrazing operations. Have fire ex-
tinguisher available for all brazing operations.
Understand the signal words - DANGER, WARNING,
1
and CAUTION. Danger identifies the most serious hazards
which will result in severe personal injury or death. Warning

indicates a condition that could result in personal injury. Cau-
tion is used to identify unsafe practices which would result
in minor personal injury or product property damage.
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service, main-
7
tenance, or use can cause carbon monoxide poisoning,
fire, or an explosion which can result in personal injury

or unit damage. Consult a qualified installer, service agency,
7
or gas supplier for information or assistance. The quali-
fied installer or agency must use only factory-authorized
kits or accessories when modifying this product.

Before performing service or maintenance operations on
unit, turn off gas supply then unit main power switch.
Electrical shock could cause personal injury.

General -

The 48HX units (see Fig. 1) are fully self-
contained, combination electric heat pump units with
gas-fired back-up heat. The units are designed for outdoor
installation. See Fig. 2-5 for unit dimensions. All unit sizes
have discharge openings for both horizontal and down-
flow configurations, and are factory shipped with all 4 duct
openings covered. Units may be installed either on a rooftop
or a ground-level cement slab. See Fig. 6 for roof curb
dimensions.

    Use extreme caution to prevent damage when moving the unit. Unit must remain in an upright position during all rig- ging and moving operations. The unit must be level for proper condensate drainage; therefore, the ground-level pad or accessory roof curb must be level before setting the unit in place.
