Shipping Damage
Upon receipt of equipment, the carton should be
checked for external signs of shipping damage. The skid
must remain attached to the unit until the unit is ready
for installation. If damage is found, the receiving party
must contact the last carrier immediately, preferably in
writing, requesting inspection by the carrier’s agent.
Unit Removal from Skid
It is recommended that the unit not be removed from
the skid with a forklift.
The shipping brackets on each side of the unit must be
removed and discarded (see A in Figure 2). The return
air grille panel can be removed to provide a place to hold
the unit. The unit can be slid forward on the skid until
the front wheels hang over the edge of the skid (see B in
Figure 2). The unit can be tipped forward and slid down
the edge of the skid until the front wheels touch the
ground (see C in Figure 2). The wheels will not roll. They
are shipped from the factory locked so they will not roll.
The back of the skid will have to be held down to keep
it from tipping up. The skid can be slid out from under
the unit. The unit can then be set upright.
FIGURE 2
Removal of Unit from Skid
The unit will have to be turned sideways and removed
from the skid to fit through a 36" doorway. If the door
height allows, the unit can be slid sideways through the
door.
If the unit can not be slid through the door, then the
unit will have to be put on a cart and tipped down
to roll through the door. It is recommended that an
appliance cart be used with a strap to hold the unit on
the cart.
The wheels of the unit must be locked
. If the
wheels were allowed to roll, the unit could roll off the
cart.
The unit should always be carted from the left
side.
This is the side where the compressor is located.
See Figure 3 on page 10. The blade of the appliance
cart should be slid under the wheels of the unit. The
strap of the appliance cart should be placed around the
unit and strapped tightly. Help will be required to tip
the unit back onto the cart. The unit can be leaned far
enough back to be rolled through the door. Be careful
when setting the unit back up to keep from damaging
the unit.
Handling Unit after Removal from Skid
WARNING
This unit is heavy and requires more than one
person to handle and remove from the skid.
Check unit wheels to ensure that wheels are
locked before removing from skid. Extreme
caution must be taken to prevent injury to
personnel and damage to the unit.
WARNING
Exercise extreme caution when pushing the
unit on the rollers. Handle and push from the
lower 1/3 of the unit. Ensure that debris is
not on the floor where the unit is to be moved
on the rollers. Failure to do so could result in
the unit tipping over and causing bodily injury
and/or damage to the unit.
