RECEIVING AND INSTALLATION
Step 1 — Check Equipment
Identify Unit
The unit model number and serial number are stamped on the
unit identification plate. Check this information against shipping
papers.
Inspect Shipment
Inspect for shipping damage before removing packaging
materials. If unit appears to be damaged or is torn loose from its
anchorage, have it examined by transportation inspectors before
removal. Forward claim papers directly to transportation company.
Manufacturer is not responsible for any damage incurred in
transit. Check all items against shipping list. Immediately notify the
nearest equipment distributor if any item is missing. To prevent
loss or damage, leave all parts in original packages until
installation.
Step 2 — Provide Unit Support
IMPORTANT
: The unit must be secured to the curb by installing
screws through the bottom of the curb flange and into the unit
base rails. When installing large base units onto the common
curb, the screws must be installed before allowing the full weight
of the unit to rest on the curb. A minimum of six screws are
required for large base units. Failure to secure unit properly could
result in an unstable unit. See Warning near Rigging/Lifting
information and accessory curb instructions for more details.
For hurricane tie downs, contact distributor for details and PE
(Professional Engineering) Certificate if required.
Roof Curb
