Planning Installation - Heat Siphon Z Series Owner's Manual

HEAT SIPHON
3. DO NO LIFT THE HEAT SIPHON® BY ITS TOP / VENTURI - USE HAND HOLES IN BASE.
Use a fork truck, roller conveyor or an inclined plane to unload the Heat Siphon® carton. Although the special
PVC plastic used in the HEAT SIPHON® cabinet is extremely tough and more than adequate for shipment even in
cold weather, it will probably break or crack if dropped from a truck tailgate.
Usually damage will be in one of three places:
1. Where the 25 pound control panel attaches to the base pan;
2. Where the 20 pound fan motor attaches to the top;
3. Where the 75 to 120 pound compressor fastens to the base pan.
Cracked plastic cabinet parts may or may not need to be replaced but can be expensive to replace if all the
components need to be removed and remounted on a new cabinet part.
Other freight damage - bending of the fan motor mounting bracket that causes the fan blade to rub or rupturing
of a copper refrigerant tube. Usually this can be repaired by a local refrigeration service center with minimal difficulty.
If tilted too far from the vertical position, the weight of the compressor can bend or break tubing or even break
or crack the plastic base pan at the compressor mount.
The top venturi/fan assembly is fastened to the unit using three stainless steel screws which are anchored to sheet
metal flanges. This is more than adequate for ensuring a firm vibration-free assembly to the Heat Siphon® body,
but these mounting screws are not designed to support the entire weight of the unit. Once out of the box, the Heat
Siphon® should be lifted by the base pan only. Hand holes have been molded into the basepan for easier handling.

IMPORTANT - READ THIS ENTIRE SECTION COMPLETELY THRU BEFORE
YOU BEGIN TO INSTALL HEAT SIPHON®
The efficiency of your Heat Siphon® is dependent on its location. Picking the wrong place will not only reduce
the efficiency by causing the cooler air coming out of the top to recirculate back into the air inlet, it may void your
warranty. Please read through this section before you decide where to place your Heat Siphon®
