INSTALLATION
Step 1 — Unpack and Inspect Units —
Units are
packaged for shipment to avoid damage during normal transit
and handling. It is the receiving party’s responsibility to inspect
the equipment upon arrival. Any obvious damage to the carton
and/or its contents should be reported on the bill of lading, and
a claim should be filed with the transportation company and the
factory. The unit should always be stored in a dry place and in
the proper orientation as marked on the carton.
After determining the condition of the unit exterior,
carefully remove the packaging and inspect for hidden damage.
Check to make sure that items such as thermostats and
controllers. are accounted for whether packaged separately or
shipped at a later date. Any hidden damage should be recorded,
a claim should be filed with the transportation company, and
the factory should be notified. In the event a claim for shipping
damage is filed; the unit, shipping carton, and all packing must
be retained for physical inspection by the transportation
company. All units should be stored in the factory shipping
carton with internal packaging in place until installation.
PROTECTING UNITS FROM DAMAGE — Do not apply
force or pressure to the coil, piping, or drain stub-outs during
handling. All units should be handled using proper forklift holes
or lifting locations.
The unit must always be properly supported. Temporary
supports used during installation or service must be adequate to
hold the unit securely. To maintain warranty, protect units
against hostile environments, theft, vandalism, and debris on
jobsite. Do not allow foreign material to fall into the unit.
Failure to do so may have serious adverse effects on unit
operation. Failure of any unit caused by deposits of foreign
material inside the unit will not be covered by the
manufacturer’s warranty. Some units and/or job conditions
may require some form of temporary covering during
construction.
