PREPARING TO INSTALL THE COOLER

COOLER LOCATION

Check the proposed cooler location to ensure it is structurally 

capable of supporting the weight of the cooler. If the roof is 

structurally inadequate, provide an alternate load bearing 

structure.
The ideal location for the cooler is in a central position on the 

roof (away from sleeping areas and where people spend most 

of their time) so that the duct runs are of approximately the 

same length. Carefully consider neighbouring residences and 

noise levels when locating the cooler, if necessary talk to the 

customer and the neighbour before carrying out the installation.
Always locate the cooler where it will receive adequate fresh air 

and not in a recess where it may be starved for air or where the 

air is polluted. 

Ensure location is a minimum of: 

• 

3m from a solid fuel heater flue, 

• 

1.5m from a gas flue, 

•  5m from a sewer vent, and 
•  600mm from a wall.

The cooler must be mounted at least 3m, preferably 5m away 

from any TV antenna or antenna cables. 
Make sure the cooler is not between the antenna and the 

transmission tower that is providing the television signal to the 

home.
Allow adequate access to and around the cooler for 

maintenance. Provision must be made for access to electricity, 

water supplies and drains.

Note!

 Do you need to discuss the installation of items like 

safety anchor points with the customer

PREPARING THE DROPPER (IF REQUIRED)

LEVELLING THE DROPPER 

Ensure the top of the dropper is level and square in all 

directions (use a spirit level). This helps with levelling the cooler. 

Cut a 50mm diameter cable exit hole in the dropper then fit and 

screw the cable grommet into position. 

ACCESS FOR SERVICING AND 

MAINTENANCE

The cooler should be installed in a position that allows adequate 

access for installation, future maintenance and servicing 

activities. This should comply with installation guidelines and 

any local, State and National regulations.
Consider the following for the installation location:-

•  Which has clear access to and around the cooler
• 

Which is clear of fixtures in line with below clearances

•  Which is clear of fall edges (> 3m away)
•  Which is structurally capable of supporting the weight of the 

cooler and service technicians

Required clearances around the cooler for future maintenance 

and servicing are shown adjacent. 

Extra service or warranty charges may apply for the cost of 

any equipment or additional labour involved in accessing 

the cooler if these guidelines are not met.
