sides must be 36 inches (914mm).
Clearance to one of the remaining
two sides may be 12 inches
(305mm) and the final side may be

DETAIL B
These units operate under a wide range of weather conditions; therefore,
several factors must be considered when positioning the outdoor unit. The
unit must be positioned to give adequate clearances for sufficient airflow
and servicing.
S
Install unit level or, if on a slope, maintain slope tolerance of 2 degrees
(or 2 inches per 5 feet [50 mm per 1.5 m]) away from building structure.
S
Install the unit high enough above the ground or roof to allow adequate
drainage of defrost water and prevent ice or snow build−up.
S
In heavy snow areas, do not locate the unit where drifting will occur.
The unit base should be elevated above the depth of average snows.
Stand−off kits are available for order using either catalog numbers
94J45 (4 each) or 30K79 (20 each).
S
When installed in areas where low ambient temperatures exist, locate
unit so winter prevailing winds do not blow directly onto outdoor unit.
S
Locate unit away from overhanging roof lines which would allow water
or ice to drop on, or in front of, coil or unto unit.
