INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Inspect Shipment

All field wiring must be done in accordance with National
Electrical Code requirements, applicable requirements of UL,
or local codes, where applicable.
Electrical wiring, disconnect means and over-current
protection are to be supplied by the installer. Refer to the
rating plate for the maximum over-current protection,
minimum circuit ampacity, and operating voltage. See the
wiring diagrams in "Make Electrical Connections."
1. Check the heat pump rating plate to confirm specifications
are as ordered.
2. Upon receipt of heat pump, inspect it for possible shipping
damage. Examine the heat pump inside the carton if the
carton is damaged.
If damage is found, it should be noted on the carrier's freight bill.
Damage claims should be filed with the carrier immediately.
Claims of shortages should be filed with the seller within 5 days.
NOTE: If any damages are discovered and reported to the carrier,
do not install the heat pump because your claim may be denied.
