SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Installing, starting up, and servicing this equipment can
be hazardous due to system pressures, electrical compo-
nents, and equipment location (roofs, elevated structures, etc.).
Only trained, qualified installers and service mechanics
should install, start up, and service this equipment.
Untrained personnel can perform basic maintenance func-
tions, such as cleaning coils. All other operations should be
performed by trained service personnel.
When working on the equipment, observe precautions in
the literature, and on tags, stickers, and labels attached to the
equipment and any other safety precautions that may apply.
• Follow all safety codes.
• Wear safety glasses and work gloves.
• Use care in handling, rigging, and setting bulky

Air-Cooled Condensing Units
Step 1 — Rig and Place Unit —
designed for overhead rigging, and it is important that this
method be used. Lifting holes are provided in the frame base
1
rails, which are marked for rigging (see rigging label on the
unit and Tables 1, 2A, and 2B for rigging weights and center
of gravity). It is recommended that field-supplied pipes, of
sufficient length to extend at least 12-in. (305 mm) beyond
3
the frame, be passed through the holes.
To maintain unit stability while lifting, use 4 cables,
chains, or straps of equal length. Attach one end of
each cable to one pipe end and the other end of each
cable to the overhead rigging point.
Use spreader bars or frame to keep the cables, chains,
and straps clear of the unit sides. Leave standard coil pro-
tection packaging in place during rigging to provide protec-
tion to coils. Remove and discard all coil protection after
rigging cables are detached.
DOMESTIC UNITS — For units 38AH044-084, 124, and
134; standard unit packaging consists of coil protection only.
There is no standard packaging provided for units 38AH094
and 104. Skids are not provided. If overhead rigging is not
available at the jobsite, place the unit on a skid or pad before
dragging or rolling. When rolling, use a minimum of
3 rollers. When dragging, pull the pad or skid. Do not apply
force to the unit. When in final position, raise from above to
lift unit off the pad or skid.
EXPORT UNITS — All export units are mounted on skids
with vertical coil protection. Leave the unit on the skid until
it is in final position. While on the skid, the unit can be rolled
or skidded. Apply force to the skid, not to the unit. Use a
minimum of 3 rollers when rolling. When in final position,
raise from above to remove the skid.
PLACING UNITS
Units 38AH044-084 — Refer to Fig. 1 and 2 for airflow clear-
ances. Recommended minimum clearances are 6 ft (1829 mm)
for unrestricted airflow and service on sides of unit, 5 ft
(1524 mm) on ends, and unrestricted clear air space above
the unit. Provide ample space to connect liquid and suction
lines to indoor unit. For multiple units, allow 8 ft (2440 mm)
separation between units for airflow and service.
Do not forklift these units unless the unit is attached to
a skid designed for forklifting.
