UNIT/STRUCTURAL DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in property damage.
Ensure there is sufficient clearance for saw blade when cutting
the outer horizontal flange of the roof curb so there is no
damage to the roof or flashing.
!
CAUTION
Slab Mount
Place the unit on a solid, level concrete pad that is a minimum of 4
in. (102 mm) thick with 2 in. (51 mm) above grade. The slab
should extend approximately 2 in. (51 mm) beyond the casing on
all 4 sides of the unit. (See Fig. 5.) Do not secure the unit to the
slab
except when required by local codes.
Step 3 — Field Fabricate Ductwork
Secure all ducts to roof curb and building structure on vertical
discharge units. Do not connect ductwork to unit. For horizontal
applications, unit is provided with flanges on the horizontal
openings. All ductwork should be secured to the flanges. Insulate
and weatherproof all external ductwork, joints, and roof openings
with counter flashing and mastic in accordance with applicable
codes.
Ducts passing through an unconditioned space must be insulated
and covered with a vapor barrier.
If a plenum return is used on a vertical unit, the return should be
ducted through the roof deck to comply with applicable fire codes.
Read unit rating plate for any required clearances around ductwork.
Cabinet return--air static shall not exceed --.25 IN. W.C.
Step 4 — Provide Clearances
The required minimum operating and service clearances are shown
in Fig. 2 and 3. Adequate combustion, ventilation and condenser
air must be provided.
IMPORTANT : Do not restrict outdoor airflow. An air restriction
at either the outdoor--air inlet or the fan discharge may be
detrimental to compressor life.
The condenser fan pulls air through the condenser coil and
discharges it through the top grille. Be sure that the fan discharge
does not recirculate to the condenser coil. Do not locate the unit in
either a corner or under an overhead obstruction. The minimum
clearance under a partial overhang (such as a normal house
overhang) is 48--in. (1219 mm) above the unit top. The maximum
horizontal extension of a partial overhang must not exceed 48--in.
(1219 mm).
Do not place the unit where water, ice, or snow from an overhang
or roof will damage or flood the unit. Do not install the unit on
carpeting or other combustible materials. Slab--mounted units
should be at least 4 in. (102 mm) above the highest expected water
and runoff levels. Do not use unit if it has been under water.
Step 5 — Rig and Place Unit
Rigging and handling of this equipment can be hazardous for
many reasons due to the installation location (roofs, elevated
structures, etc.).
Only trained, qualified crane operators and ground support staff
should handle and install this equipment.
When working with this equipment, observe precautions in the
literature, on tags, stickers, and labels attached to the equipment,
and any other safety precautions that might apply.
Training for operators of the lifting equipment should include, but
not be limited to, the following:
1. Application of the lifter to the load, and adjustment of the
lifts to adapt to various sizes or kinds of loads.
2. Instruction in any special operation or precaution.
3. Condition of the load as it relates to operation of the lifting
kit, such as balance, temperature, etc.
Follow all applicable safety codes. Wear safety shoes and work
gloves.
Inspection
Prior to initial use, and at monthly intervals, all rigging shackles,
clevis pins, and straps should be visually inspected for any
damage, evidence of wear, structural deformation, or cracks.
Particular attention should be paid to excessive wear at hoist
hooking points and load support areas. Materials showing any kind
of wear in these areas must not be used and should be discarded.
UNIT FALLING HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal
injury or death.
Never stand beneath rigged units or lift over people.
!
WARNING
PROPERTY DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal
injury/death or property damage.
When straps are taut, the clevis should be a minimum of 36
in. (914 mm) above the unit top cover.
!
WARNING
Rigging/Lifting of Unit (See Fig. 6)
UNIT FALLING HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal
injury or death.
Large base units must be secured to common curb before
allowing full weight of unit to rest on curb. Install screws
through curb into unit base rails while rigging crane is still
supporting unit.
!
WARNING
Lifting holes are provided in base rails as shown in Fig. 2 and 3.
1. Leave top shipping skid on the unit for use as a spreader bar
to prevent the rigging straps from damaging the unit. If the
skid is not available, use a spreader bar of sufficient length
to protect the unit from damage.
2. Attach shackles, clevis pins, and straps to the base rails of
the unit. Be sure materials are rated to hold the weight of the
unit (See Fig. 6).
3. Attach a clevis of sufficient strength in the middle of the
straps. Adjust the clevis location to ensure unit is lifted level
with the ground.
After the unit is placed on the roof curb or mounting pad, remove
the top skid.
