Pre-Installation Receiving and Handling Check all units, components, connections, and piping. Check fan wheel for free rotation by spinning Inspection manually. Check all doors, latches and hinges. Inspect interior of each unit or section. Inspect coils for Upon delivery, thoroughly inspect all components for any damage to fin surface and coil connections.
Pre-Installation Outdoor Storage • Allow room for supply and return piping, ductwork, electrical connections, and coil removal. • Ensure there is adequate height for condensate drain NOTICE requirements. See “Drain Pan Trapping,” p. Corrosion! Note: If unit is installed in a mechanical room on a pad, Use only canvas tarps to cover air handlers.
Pre-Installation Roof Curb Installation Checklist See CLCH-SVN-006*-EN Performance Climate Changer Air Handler Model UCCA Roof Curb Installation for information on installing roof curbs. It is recommended that the curb be installed directly on the support members and fastened to the supports using tack welds or other equivalent methods.
