7
Inspect the exterior and interior of the equipment for dam-
age. Ensure there is no damage to internal components
such as fans, motors, dampers, enthalpy wheel, insulation
and structures. File a claim with the shipping company if
the unit is damaged.
Spreader bars are required to prevent damage to the roof
flange. Rollers may be used to move the unit across a roof.
Lifting holes are provided in the base rails as shown in Ap-
pendix C. For weights and overall dimensions, see Figure
B2.
Location
Maintain clearance around and above the unit to provide
proper airflow and service access. The fresh air intake hood
must be positioned away from sources of contamination
such as chimneys, exhaust vents, etc. Positioning the fresh
air intake opposite to the prevailing winds will reduce entry
of snow or moisture during periods of high winds.
Intake and exhaust hoods for these models are shipped
separately from the unit. See Appendix C for hood instal-
lation information. A quick connect for the damper motors
is provided to connect to the main body of the unit. Make
sure that all screws are secured to maintain proper support
and keep seals water-tight.
Handles for access panels are provided but must be in-
stalled on site. Handles and fasteners are secured on the
top of the unit. Remove from packaging and install ac-
cording to Figure 1.
Remove access panels and remove all packaging from the
unit. Note that there is packaging for the wheel support
during shipping. Removal of all of this packaging is critical.

IMPORTANT
The hoods for these units are not installed from the fac-
tory and must be installed on site. They can be installed
prior to rigging the unit or after the unit is installed.
Hoods are shipped on top of the unit. When rigging
the unit, ensure that the hoods are secured and are not
damaged by the spreader bars. See Appendix C for hood
installation and rigging information.
CAUTION
All panels must be in place when rigging.
CAUTION
Remove all ERV wheel packaging prior to start-up.
IMPORTANT
