3.1 Equipment Inspection
Concealed Damage
Inspect all cartons and packages upon receipt for damage in transit Remove cartons and check for
concealed damage.
Important: keep the unit upright at all times.
Remove access panels and examine
component parts. (Note: the "L"-shaped bottom bracket is screwed to the shipping pallet, against the
air conditioner. Remove it before replacing the side screen). Inspect refrigerant circuit for fractures or
breaks. The presence of refrigerant oil usually indicates a rupture. If damage is apparent, immediately
file a claim with the freight carrier.
Units that have been turned on their sides or tops may have concealed damage to compressor motor
mounts or to the oil system. If the unit is not upright, immediately file a claim for concealed damages
and follow these steps:
1. Set unit upright and allow to stand for 24 hours with primary power turned on.
2. Attempt to start the compressor after 24 hours.
3. If the compressor will not start, makes excessive noise, or will not pump, return the unit to the
freight carrier.

Duct work should be designed and installed in accordance with
all
applicable safety codes and
standards. ICE strongly recommends referring to the current edition of the National Fire Protection
Association Standards 90A and 90B
before
