The following points must be addressed before installing the rooftop mounted condenser:
•
Refer to the Safety Section regarding holding charge precautions. DO NOT release the holding charge until
necessary to prevent moisture from entering the system.
•
The roof of the vehicle must be able to support the weight of the condenser unit, or on some models the
Refrigeration Module, Power Pack Module and Condenser Module. Additional supports (installer supplied) may be
required. Unit weights can be found in the product brochures.

Additional components may need to be removed to access unit mounting holes and refrigeration fittings.
Refer to the unit specific installation manual for details.
The following points must be addressed when installing the rooftop mounted condenser:
•
The condenser must be installed so the air inlet grille faces forward on the vehicle.
•
Use template to center unit onto cargo box and to locate mounting and access holes.
•
Drill correct size holes for the mounting bolts and for the refrigerant/electrical access holes.
•
Silicone sealer must be applied around all mounting holes prior to installing condenser.
•
Use unit lifting points and appropriate lifting device to install condenser.
•
The condenser must be level on the roof. A rooftop installation kit is available that provides special adjustable
rubber washers that not only avoid direct contact between the condenser and the vehicle’s roof, but also allow the
unit to be mounted level on a curved roof.
•
All condenser mounting hardware must be the correct size, grade, finish and tightened securely. Refer to
