INSTALLATION
Step 1 - Check Equipment
Unpack the unit and move to the final location. Remove the carton,
taking care not to damage the unit. Inspect the equipment for damage
prior to installation. File a claim with the shipping company if the
shipment is damaged or incomplete.
Locate the unit rating plate which contains the proper installation
information. Check the rating plate to ensure the unit matches the job
specifications.
Step 2 - Mount Unit
1. Select the installation location of the outdoor unit following the
installation requirements. To prevent high wind exposure, install the
outdoor unit with the air inlet side facing the wall (see fig 9).

2. Use a rigid base to support the unit in a level position. If conditions
or local codes require the unit be attached to a pad, tie down bolts
should be used and fastened through knockouts provided in unit
base pan. Refer to unit mounting pattern in Fig. 3 to determine base
pan size and knockout hole location. For hurricane tie downs,
contact distributor for details and PE (Professional Engineer)
