ELEVATING THE UNIT
Units are outfitted with elongated support feet as illustrated
in Figure 4, Detail C.
If additional elevation is necessary, raise the unit by
extending the height of the unit support feet. This may be
achieved by using a 2 inch (50.8mm) Schedule 40 female
threaded adapter.
The specified coupling will fit snuggly into the recessed
portion of the feet. Use additional 2 inch (50.8mm)
Schedule 40 male threaded adaptors which can be
threaded into the female threaded adaptors to make
additional adjustments to the level of the unit.
NOTE
Keep the height of extenders short enough to
ensure a sturdy installation. If it is necessary to extend
further, consider a different type of field−fabricated
framework that is sturdy enough for greater heights.
STABILIZING UNIT ON UNEVEN SURFACES
IMPORTANT
Unit Stabilizer Bracket Use (field−provided):
Always use stabilizers when unit is raised above the
factory height. (Elevated units could become unstable in
gusty wind conditions).
Stabilizers may be used on factory height units when
mounted on unstable an uneven surface.

With unit positioned at installation site
:
following
1. Remove two side louvered panels to expose the unit
base.
2. Install the brackets as illustrated in Figure 4, Detail D
using conventional practices.
3. Replace the panels after installation is complete.
ROOF MOUNTING
Install the unit a minimum of 6 inches (152 mm) above the
roof surface to avoid ice build−up around the unit. Locate
the unit above a load bearing wall or area of the roof that
can adequately support the unit. Consult local codes for
rooftop applications.
If unit coil cannot be mounted away from prevailing winter
winds, a wind barrier should be constructed. Size barrier at
least the same height and width as outdoor unit. Mount
barrier 24 inches (610 mm) from the sides of the unit in the
direction of prevailing winds.
NOTICE
Roof Damage!
This system contains both refrigerant and oil. Some
rubber roofing material may absorb oil and cause the
rubber to swell when it comes into contact with oil. The
rubber will then bubble and could cause leaks. Protect
the roof surface to avoid exposure to refrigerant and oil
during service and installation. Failure to follow this
notice could result in damage to roof surface.
