Chapter 3: Installation
3-1 Uncrating
All models are shipped mounted on a skid, enclosed in a plastic wrapper, and open-crated on
all four sides and top.
1. Pry the crating away from the skid.
2. Use a wrench to remove the fasteners securing the unit to the skid.
3. Lift unit from front or rear, inserting forklift under the fork pockets. The forks must
be equidistant from the centerline of the unit and the unit must be balanced on the
forks. Lift slowly and only high enough to clear the skid. Use a pry bar if necessary
to carefully remove the skid from the unit.
4. Lower slowly. The unit should land on its rails and can then be moved into position.
5. Retain the crating material for reshipping the chiller in case hidden shipping damage
is found.

Rigging and Equipment Movement
The indoor modules have been designed to be moved with a forklift. Use caution when
moving the modules to ensure proper weight distribution. The remote air cooled condensers
have designed to be moved with cranes or forklifts with rigging material. Refer to the
Appendix for rigging drawings.
Caution! Use care when LOADING, UNLOADING, RIGGING, or MOVING this
equipment.
3-3 Electrical Connections
Supply electricity of the voltage, phase, and cycle listed on the serial tag. Total running amps
are also found in the specification tables on pages in the Appendix.
Bring properly sized power leads and ground from a fused disconnect (installed by your
electrician) to the module. Use dual-element fuses in the disconnect switch, sized according
to local electrical regulations. Make sure all electrical connections are tight.
Important!
Refer to your local electrical requirements for proper feeder conductor and
supply disconnecting sizing. For instance, in the United States refer to
National Electric Code (NEC) Article 430-24 through 430-26, Table
310.15(B)(2)(a)
