SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Installation and servicing of air-conditioning equipment
can be hazardous due to system pressure and electrical com-
ponents. Only trained and qualified personnel should install,
repair, or service air-conditioning equipment.
Untrained personnel can perform basic maintenance func-
tions of cleaning coils and filters. All other operations should
be performed by trained service personnel. When working
on air-conditioning equipment, observe precautions in the
literature, tags and labels attached to the unit, and other safety
precautions that may apply.
Follow all safety codes. Wear safety glasses and work gloves.
Use quenching cloth for unbrazing operations. Have fire ex-
tinguisher available for all brazing operations.
Before performing service or maintenance operations on
system, turn off main power to unit. Turn off accessory
heater power switch if applicable. Electrical shock can
cause personal injury.
General — 50SS,SX cooling units are fully self-contained
and designed for outdoor installation. See Fig. 1. As shown
in Fig. 2-9, both small- and large-cabinet units are shipped
in a horizontal-discharge configuration for installation on
a ground-level slab. All units can be converted to down-
flow discharge configurations for rooftop applications. See
Fig. 10 for roof curb dimensions.
