Pre-Installation

Receiving and Handling

Inspection

Upon delivery, thoroughly inspect all components for any
shipping damage that may have occurred, and confirm
that the shipment is complete. See
section for detailed instructions.
Note: Delivery cannot be refused. All units are shipped
F .O.B. factory. Trane is not responsible for shipping
damage.

Packaging/Shipping

Performance air handlers ship as a complete unit or in
individual sections to be field assembled. Indoor air
handler sections are stretch-wrapped before shipping. All
factory shipping protection should be removed upon
delivery. This wrapping is for transit protection only.
Smaller components and hardware may be shipped
separately, or shipped inside the unit. This hardware is
typically packaged in a clear plastic envelope or cardboard
box, and can be found inside the fan or mixing box.

Identification

Each air handler section includes a nameplate identifying
the section type and functional components, customer
tagging information, unit serial number, unit order
number, the build-section position for installation, and the
unit model number. See "Nameplate" on page 6.

Handling

Air handlers are shipped with a shipping skid designed for
forklift transport.

Receiving Checklist

Complete the following checklist immediately after
receiving shipment to detect possible shipping damage.
 Check to ensure that the shipment is complete. Small
components may ship inside the unit or ship
separately. Check the parts list to ensure all materials
are present. If any component is missing, contact your
local Trane sales office.
 Check all units, components, connections, and piping.
Check fan wheel for free rotation by spinning
manually. Check all doors, latches and hinges. Inspect
interior of each unit or section. Inspect coils for
damage to fin surface and coil connections. Check for
rattles, bent corners, or other visible indications of
shipping damage. Tighten loose connections.
 If a unit is damaged, make specific notations
concerning the damage on the freight bill. Do not
refuse delivery.

"Receiving Checklist"
 Notify the carrier's terminal of the damage
immediately by phone and mail. Request an
immediate joint inspection of the damage by the
carrier and consignee.
 Notify your Trane sales representative of the damage
and arrange for repair. Do not attempt to repair the unit
without consulting the Trane representative.
 Inspect the unit for concealed damage as soon as
possible after delivery. Report concealed damage to
the freight line. It is the receiver's responsibility to
provide reasonable evidence that concealed damage
did not occur after delivery. Take photos of damaged
material if possible.
Note: Concealed damage must be reported within 15
days of receipt.

Jobsite Storage

Indoor air handlers and field-installed accessories must be
protected from the elements. A controlled indoor
environment is recommended for proper storage.
Note: All factory shipping protection should be removed,
This wrapping is for transit protection only.
All electrical/electronic components should be stored in
conditions of -20°F to 120°F and 5 to 95 percent relative
humidity, non-condensing. Electrical components are not
moisture-tolerant.

Outdoor Storage

NOTICE:
Corrosion!
Use only canvas tarps to cover air handlers. Plastic
tarps can cause condensation to form in and on the
equipment, which could result in corrosion damage or
wet storage stains.
Outdoor storage is not recommended for units that will be
installed indoors. When outdoor storage is necessary,
several things must be done to prevent damage:
Note: Keep the equipment on the original skid for
protection and ease of handling.
• Select a well-drained area, preferably a concrete pad or
blacktop surface.
• Place the unit on a dry surface or raised off the ground
to assure adequate air circulation beneath the unit and
to assure no portion of the unit will contact standing
water at any time.
• Loosen the belt tension on the drive belts.
• Cover the unit securely with a canvas tarp.
• Do not stack units.
• Do not pile other material on the unit.
