Introduction

Introduction

General Information

The system design and installation must follow accepted industry 
practice as described in the ASHRAE Handbook, the National 
Electric Code, and other applicable standards. Install this 
equipment in accordance with regulations of authorities having 
jurisdiction and all

 

applicable codes. 

Installation and maintenance must be performed by qualified 
personnel familiar with applicable codes and regulations and 
experienced with this type of equipment. Sheet metal parts, 
self

-

tapping screws, fins, clips, and such items inherently have 

sharp edges; the installer should exercise caution.

Receiving and Handling

1

Carefully check items against the bills of lading to verify 

all crates and cartons have been received. Carefully 

inspect all units for shipping damage. Report damage 
immediately to the carrier and file a claim.

2

Skyline air handler units are constructed of galvanized or 
painted steel and are inspected thoroughly before leaving 
the factory. Take care during installation to prevent 
damage to units.

3

Take special care when handling the blower section. All 
fans are dynamically balanced before leaving the factory. 
Rough handling can cause misalignment or a damaged 
bearings or shaft. Carefully inspect fans and shaft before 
unit installation to verify this has not happened.

Note: 

Screws, bolts, etc., for assembling sections are supplied 

in a bag attached to each section. All necessary 

gasketing is applied in the factory for section-to-section 

mounting, unless the unit has a curb ready base. Units 

require caulk sealant between sections.

Unit Storage

Store unit on a level surface. If air handling units are stored for 
any period of time, periodically rotate the fan wheel to prevent 
permanent distortion of drive components. In addition, grease 
may settle in the lower part of the bearing, which can lead to 
oxidation on the upper portion of the bearing surface. Keep the 
fan bearings lubricated.

Nomenclature

Installation Guidelines

CAUTION

Sharp edges and coil surfaces are a potential injury hazard. 
Avoid contact with them.

ATTENTION

Les bords tranchants et les surfaces des bobines sont un 
risque de blessure. Ne les touchez pas.
