INSPECTION
As soon as a unit is received, it should be inspected for possible dam-
age during transit. If damage is evident, the extent of the damage
should be noted on the carrier’s delivery receipt. A separate request for
inspection by the carrier’s agent should be made in writing. See Local
Distributor for more information.
LIMITATIONS
The unit should be installed in accordance with all National, State, and
Local Safety Codes and the limitations listed below:
1.
Limitations for the indoor unit, coil, and appropriate accessories
must also be observed.
2.
The outdoor unit must not be installed with any duct work in the air
stream. The outdoor fan is the propeller type and is not designed
to operate against any additional external static pressure.
3.
The maximum and minimum conditions for operation must be
observed to assure a system that will give maximum performance
with minimum service.
4.
The maximum allowable line length for this product is 75 feet.
SECTION III: UNIT INSTALLATION
LOCATION
Before starting the installation, select and check the suitability of the
location for both the indoor and outdoor unit. Observe all limitations and
clearance requirements.
The outdoor unit must have sufficient clearance for air entrance to the
condenser coil, for air discharge, and for service access. See Figure 1.
NOTE: For multiple unit installations, units must be spaced a minimum
of 18 inches apart. (Coil face to coil face.)
If the unit is to be installed on a hot sun exposed roof or a black-topped
ground area, the unit should be raised sufficiently above the roof or
ground to avoid taking the accumulated layer of hot air into the outdoor
unit.
Provide an adequate structural support.
ADD-ON REPLACEMENT/RETROFIT
The following steps should be performed in order to insure proper sys-
tem operation and performance.
1.
Change-out of the indoor coil to an approved R-22 coil/ condens-
ing unit combination with the appropriate metering device.
2.
If the outdoor unit is being replaced due to a compressor burnout,
then installation of a 100% activated alumina suction-line filter
drier is required, in addition to the factory installed liquid-line drier.
Operate the system for 10 hours. Monitor the suction drier pres-
sure drop. If the pressure drop exceeds 3 psig, replace both the
suction-line and liquid-line driers. After a total of 10 hours run time
where the suction-line pressure drop has not exceeded 3 psig,
replace the liquid line drier, and remove the suction-line drier.
Never leave a suction-line drier in the system longer than 50 hours
of run time.
GROUND INSTALLATION
The unit may be installed at ground level on a solid base that will not
shift or settle, causing strain on the refrigerant lines and possible leaks.
Maintain the clearances shown in Figure 1 and install the unit in a level
position.
Normal operating sound levels may be objectionable if the unit is placed
directly under windows of certain rooms (bedrooms, study, etc.).
Condensate will drain from beneath the coil of the outdoor unit during
the defrost cycle. Normally this condensate may be allowed to drain
directly on the ground.
Elevate the unit sufficiently to prevent any blockage of the air entrances
by snow in areas where there will be snow accumulation. Check the
local weather bureau for the expected snow accumulation in your area.
Isolate the unit from rain gutters to avoid any possible wash out of the
foundation.

The outdoor unit should not be installed in an area where mud or
ice could cause personal injury. Remember that condensate will
drip from the unit coil during heat and defrost cycles and that this
condensate will freeze when the temperature of the outdoor air is
below 32°F.
