Environment
This equipment is designed for indoor installation only. Shel-
tered locations such as attics, garages, etc., generally will not
provide sufficient protection against extremes in temperature
and/or humidity, and equipment performance, reliability, and
service life may be adversely affected.
CAUTION
Units must be checked for water leaks upon initial
water system start-up. Water leaks may be a result of
mishandling or damage during shipping. Failure by the
installing contractor to check for leaks upon start-up of the
water system could result in property damage.

Notes:
1. Maximum and minimum values may not be combined.If one value is at maximum or minimum, the other two conditions may not exceed
the normal condition for standard units. Geothermal range units may combine any two maximum conditions, but not more than two, with
all other conditions being normal conditions.
2. This is not a normal or continuous operating condition. It is assumed that such a start-up is for the purpose of bringing the building space
up to occupancy temperature.
