INSTALLATION
ASSESSMENT OF ROOF STRUCTURE
THE COOLER REQUIRES AN ADEQUATE ROOF
STRUCTURE TO BEAR THE LOAD OF ITS OPERATING
WEIGHT. IT IS LIKELY THAT MOST RESIDENTIAL
STRUCTURES WILL REQUIRE REINFORCEMENT.
Engineering designs of roofs, including the supporting
structure and cladding, should take into account whether the
work practices necessary to carry out the installation and
maintenance on the roof can be carried out safely.

It is the installers responsibility to verify the integrity of the roof
structure as well as determine and implement an adequate load
bearing structure to which the dropper and cooler is fixed. The
roof structure in question must be in good condition (i.e. no
worn members or pre-existing damage) and compliant with one
of the structurally engineered roof mounting schemes provided
(Refer to Appendix A):
If these generic schemes are not applicable to the customer
installation, it is the installer's responsibility to seek the services
of a structural engineer or certified builder to ensure that the
installation is adequate and complies with local and national
building codes. Installation on inadequate structures will void
the warranty and could result in death or serious injury. If the
installer has any doubt in regards to the structural integrity or
condition of the customer installation, then a structural engineer
or building certifier must be consulted.
COOLER LOCATION
The ideal location for the cooler is in a central position on the
roof (away from sleeping areas and where people spend most
of their time) so that the duct runs are of approximately the
same length. Carefully consider neighbouring residences and
noise levels when locating the cooler, if necessary talk to the
customer and the neighbour before carrying out the installation.
Always locate the cooler where it will receive adequate fresh air
and not in a recess where it may be starved for air or where the
air is polluted.
Air exiting the cooler exhaust is warm and heavily laden
with moisture. Ensure the cooler's exhaust air will not cause
corrosion or damage to other nearby items. Do not allow
exhaust air to re-circulate into the air intake of the cooler.
Ensure location is a minimum of:
• 3m (10') from a solid fuel heater flue,
• 1.5m (5') from a gas flue,
• 1.0m (3.5') away from adjacent solar panels or similar roof
mounted fixtures,
• 6m (20') from a sewer vent, and
• 600mm (2') from a wall.
• The cooler must be mounted at least 3m (10') (preferably
5m (17')) away from any TV antenna or antenna cables.
Make sure the cooler is not between the antenna and the
transmission tower that is providing the television signal to the
home.

ACCESS FOR SERVICING AND
MAINTENANCE
The cooler should be installed in a position that allows adequate
access for installation and future maintenance and servicing
activities. This should comply with installation guidelines and
any local, State and National regulations.
Consider the following for installation location:-
• Which has clear access to and around the cooler
• Which is clear of fixtures in line with below clearances
• Which is clear of fall edges (> 3m away)
• Which is structurally capable of supporting the weight of the
cooler and service technicians
Required clearances around the cooler for future maintenance
and servicing are shown below.
Extra service or warranty charges may apply for the cost of any
equipment or additional labour involved in accessing the cooler
if these guidelines are not met.
Note! Do you need to discuss the installation of items like
safety anchor points with the customer?
