General Information Receiving and Handling The system design and installation must follow accepted industry practice, such as described in the ASHRAE Hand- 1. Carefully check items against the bills of lading to verify book, the National Electric Code, and other applicable stan- all crates and cartons have been received.
Installation Guidelines Service Clearances Figure 2. Service clearance for electrical power devices In addition to providing adequate space around the unit for piping coils and drains, access is always required on at least one side of the unit to allow for regular service and mainte- nance.
Curb Mounting and Leveling Figure 5. Apply sealant to mating faces Do not place a Skyline unit over an open curb unless it is equipped with a curb-ready base. Installation instructions for mounting units on a roof curb are provided in IM770. For a copy, contact your local McQuay Representative or visit www.mcquay.com.
