Receiving

Inspection

Remove any transit packing. Inspect the unit to ensure that all components have been delivered

according to the bill of lading and that all miscellaneous boxes or materials have been received.
Ensure that no damage to any portion of the chiller or loose items has occurred during transit.

If any damage is evident, it must be noted on the carrier’s freight bill and a claim entered in

accordance with the instructions given on the advice note.

Note: 

Johnson controls is not responsible for any damage in shipment or at job site or loss of

parts. Refer to 

Shipping Damage Claims Form, Form 50.15-NM

.

Delivery and storage

To ensure consistent quality and maximum reliability, all units are tested and inspected before

leaving the factory. Units are shipped completely assembled and containing refrigerant under

pressure. Units are shipped without export crating unless crating has been specified on the Sales

Order.
If the unit is to be put into storage, before installation, the following precautions must be observed:

The chiller must be blocked so that the base cannot sag or bow.

Ensure that all openings, such as water connections, are securely capped.

Do not store where exposed to ambient air temperatures exceeding 43.3°C (110°F).

The condensers must be covered to protect the coils and fins from potential damage and

corrosion, particularly where building work is in progress.

The unit must be stored in a location where there is minimal activity in order to limit the risk

of accidental physical damage.

To prevent inadvertent operation of the pressure relief devices, the unit must not be steam

cleaned.

Inspect the unit periodically during storage. Follow all directions for long term storage

requirements as defined in 

Form 50.20-NM7

.

The services of a qualified Johnson Controls Service representative is required for the installation

and startup of all YVAM model chillers installed in the continental United States.
Do not attempt to install or start the chiller without the presence of this qualified representative, as

this may void all or portions of the chiller warranty.

 CAUTION

The Johnson Controls warranty may be voided if the following restrictions are not adhered to.

Do not open valves or connections under any circumstances because such action will result in

loss of the factory refrigerant (Form 1) or nitrogen charge (Form 2).

Do not dismantle or open the chiller for any reason except under the supervision of a

Johnson Controls representative.
