INSPECTION AND UNPACKING

 

Inspect your LEV-CO unit for shipping damage immediately upon receipt, save all packaging materials until 

unit has been received, inspected and accepted..   Damaged carton(s), broken crate(s), etc. are indications that the unit 
may have been damaged in shipment. It is also possible shipping damage may be concealed and not noticed until the 
unit is installed and in operation. If any damage is found, notify your delivery carrier at once and enter a claim.  Claims 
must be filed within 24 hrs of receipt of shipment. 

FREIGHT DAMAGE CLAIMS ARE THE RESPONSIBILITY 

OF THE PURCHASER, NOT LEV-CO. 

After initial inspection for shipping damage, check the cabinet filter and 

motor/blower compartments for any packing materials and remove. 

PREPARATION AND INSTALLATION

 

After initial inspection for shipping damage, open the cabinet and motor access door. Remove all packing 

materials and  filters to  avoid damage and to facilitate the installation. The installation should conform to all local 
ordinances associated with building and electrical codes required for the unit. Authorities having jurisdiction should 
be consulted before installation is made. If there are no local codes, the installation should conform to the National 
Electrical Code. The MULTI-FLEX can be used as either a roll-around portable unit, wall mounted or suspended. 

If

using an  extension  cord  with  the  portable  unit  refer  to  the  Appendix,  Motor  Troubleshooting  Guide,  Table
A  for the correct wire gauge. 

The following section discusses both physical installation and electrical tie-in.  

Fire 

suppression equipment provided by others. 

If an optional light kit was ordered, this manual will be accompanied 

by a Light Kit Manual with an instruction sheet for light kit service and operation.
