General Information
Inspection 
Upon receipt of the equipment, carefully check the shipment 
against the bill of lading. Make sure all units have been received. 
Inspect the packaging of each unit, and inspect each unit for 
damage. Insure that the carrier makes proper notation of any 
shortages or damage on all copies of the freight bill and completes 
a common carrier inspection report. Concealed damage not 
discovered during unloading must be reported to the carrier within 
15 days of receipt of shipment. If not filed within 15 days, the 
freight company can deny the claim without recourse. Note: It is the 
responsibility of the purchaser to file all necessary claims with the 
carrier. Notify your equipment supplier of all damage within fi fteen 
(15) days of shipment. 
Storage 
Equipment should be stored in its original packaging in a clean, 
dry area. Store units in an upright position at all times. Stack units 
a maximum of 3 units high. 
Unit Protection 
Cover units on the job site with either the original packaging or 
an equivalent protective covering. Cap the open ends of pipes 
stored on the job site. In areas where painting, plastering, and/
or spraying has not been completed, all due precautions must be 
taken to avoid physical damage to the units and contamination 
by foreign material. Physical damage and contamination may 
prevent proper start-up and may result in costly equipment clean-
up. 
Examine all pipes, fittings, and valves before installing any of the 
system components. Remove any dirt or debris found in or on 
these components. 
Pre-Installation 
Installation, Operation, and Maintenance instructions are 
provided with each unit. Horizontal equipment is designed for 
installation above false ceiling or in a ceiling plenum. Other unit 
confi gurations are typically installed in a mechanical room. The 
installation site chosen should include adequate service clearance 
around the unit. Before unit start-up, read all manuals and 
become familiar with the unit and its operation. Thoroughly check 
the system before operation. 
Prepare units for installation as follows: 
1.  Compare the electrical data on the unit nameplate with 
ordering and shipping information to verify that the correct unit 
has been shipped. 
2.  Keep the cabinet covered with the original packaging until 
installation is complete and all plastering, painting, etc. is 
fi nished. 
3.  Verify refrigerant tubing is free of kinks or dents and that it 
does not touch other unit components. 
4.  Inspect all electrical connections. Connections must be clean 
and tight at the terminals. 
5.  Remove any blower support packaging (water-to-air units 
only). 
6.  Loosen compressor bolts on units equipped with compressor 
grommet vibration isolation until the compressor rides freely 
on the grommets. 
7.  Locate and verify any hot water generator (HWG), hanger, 
or other accessory kit located in the compressor section or 
blower section. 
CAUTION! DO NOT store or install units in corrosive 
environments or in locations subject to temperature or 
humidity extremes (e.g., attics, garages, rooftops, etc.). 
Corrosive conditions and high temperature or humidity can 
signifi cantly reduce performance, reliability, and service 
life. Always move and store units in an upright position. 
Tilting units on their sides may cause equipment damage.
