Installation Guidelines - Lennox FLATAIR KFC Series Installation And Operating Manual

2.- INSTALLATION
2.1.- PRELIMINARY PREPARATIONS
The unit must be transported in a HORIZONTAL POSITION on its metal bedplate profiles and TRANSPORTATION
BLOCKS. Any other position may cause serious damage to the machine. When the unit is received, it should be
checked to assure that there are no bumps or other damage, following the instructions on the packaging. If there
is damage, the unit may be rejected by notifying the LENNOX Distribution Department and reporting why the
machine is unacceptable on the transport agent's delivery notice. Any later complaint or claim made to the
LENNOX Distribution Department, for this type of anomaly, cannot be considered under the Guarantee.
Sufficient space must be allowed to facilitate placement of the unit. The unit may be mounted outdoors. There
should be NO possibility of flooding if floor mounted.
When positioning the unit, be sure that the Rating Plate will always be visible since this
data will be necessary to assure proper maintenance.
The units are designed to be installed with ducts, calculated by qualified technical staff. The joints to be used
between ducts and the openings to the unit should be Elastic Joints. Avoid the use of BYPASS joints between the
extraction air and input air in both the outdoor and indoor sections. The structure where the unit is placed must
be able to support the weight of the unit during operation.
2.2.- UNIT RECEPTION
All the units have Metal Bedplate Profiles and Wooden Blocks for transportation.
These wooden blocks must be removed when positioning the unit in its final position.
