Site Installation Guide
LIFTING Whenever a condensing unit is lifted, lifting should be from the base. Where possible,
all packing and protection should be left in position. If any type of slinging is used, due
care should be taken to ensure that the slings do not crush the casework or coil.
Spreader bars shall be used to ensure that any slings or chains used in the lifting
process do not crush the framework of the unit or damage the coil faces.
Due note shall also be made of the fact that the compressor is at one end of the unit,
and therefore the centre of gravity will also be towards that end.
If the unit is dropped, it shall immediately be checked for damage.
POSITIONING AND
LEVELLING The condensing unit shall be positioned on a stable load bearing and even base. This
base shall be levelled to ensure that the compressor operates correctly without
uneven internal stresses being transmitted to the compressor support.
