CAUTION!
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 fi led within 15 days, the freight company can deny the
claim without recourse. Note: It is the responsibility of the
purchaser to fi le 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, fi ttings, 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. Loosen compressor bolts on units equipped with
compressor spring vibration isolation until the compressor
rides freely on the springs. Remove shipping restraints.
6. Locate and verify any hot water generator (HWG) or other
accessory kit located in the compressor section.
WARNING! All refrigerant discharged from this unit must
be recovered WITHOUT EXCEPTION. Technicians must
follow industry accepted guidelines and all local, state,
and federal statutes for the recovery and disposal of
refrigerants. If a compressor is removed from this unit,
refrigerant circuit oil will remain in the compressor. To
avoid leakage of compressor oil, refrigerant lines of the
compressor must be sealed after it is removed.
CAUTION! To avoid equipment damage, DO NOT use
these units as a source of heating or cooling during the
construction process. The mechanical components and
fi lters will quickly become clogged with construction dirt
and debris, which may cause system damage.
